Project: Rooftop‘s newest redesign contest is targeting Captain America. P:R’s Chris Arrant writes “Steve Rogers may be a man out of time, but his red, white, and blue BDU is timeless. But that’s never stopped us before. Steady your quivering hands, designers, because Project: Rooftop is putting out the call: Send us your redesigns of the Sentinel of Liberty, Captain America!
“Feel free to chose your preferred shield-slinger (Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Isaiah Bradley, etc.), but you must choose someone who has operated under the title in continuity. Regardless of the man in the uniform, Captain America is a symbol as well as a warrior, and should represent America’s best ideals, even when others in power fall short of his moral standards.”
Full entry guidelines are available on this page. Entry deadline is 1 August 2010.
Project: Rooftop is “the superhero fashion site” where “cartoonists and illustrators bring their costume design skills to task in tribute to the superheroes and villains we’ve grown up with.” The site is intended to “promote excellence in costume design as well as foster continued interest for these amazing characters.”
