Our Street Fighter Tribute art contest has wrapped up! The window for fan submissions is done, no April Fool's.

I woke up this morning to find another 120 e-mail submissions from Street Fighter fans.

When we first started this contest, I thought we'd get a couple hundred entries and be able to find around 50 decent fan art pieces to put in our new book...

The final hand-in number was just over 1300 fan submission entries from all over the world.

We're stunned and amazed at the enthusiasm and energy you've all put into this. We're seriously humbled. Even after years without a true sequel, Street Fighter fandom is alive and well. It's a testament to the game's strength and legacy as part of video game pop culture.

It's going to take us several days to sort through all the entries and carefully filter down to the highest quality/most creative pieces to go in to the art book. We'll try to post a list of winners (and start e-mailing each of the winners personally) as soon as we can.

We can already tell it's going to be really hard to pick our favorites and heart breaking leaving some of the pieces out. We'll do our best to make you all proud. Even if your piece doesn't make it in to the book, we hope you'll still check it out when it's released to see the incredible art inside. As soon as we have more details on the book release and art samples, we'll let you know here on DA.

If you enjoyed this contest, let Capcom know at capcom-unity.com. If there are other properties you'd like to see Tribute books of... well, anything is possible.

In the meantime, I've got to get some coffee and start sorting entries while keeping up on our other projects.

Thank you everyone,
