It's official, all of last year's sites are returning for the celebration!

We do not need final participant choices until March 10 (one week after the titles are announced), but it would be ideal to have your designers ready by March 3 to give them the full amount of time.

More updates coming soon! :-)

Awesome. Have you contacted or been contacted by CoverNET. I believe there is some interest there.

Battle Royal already? My god - so it is true, time goes faster the older you get!

Front cover only is really going to test for both designer and judges.

Looking forward to it as usual.

One of the Battle Royal's favorite stars, JollyRoger, suggested a possible way to raise the stakes and excitement of this competition:
The winning designer's site gets to host/organize next year's Cover Site Battle Royal.

What does everyone think of this idea?

Would you be comfortable following the competition to the winning site, or is the current format with a neutral center necessary in order for the Battle Royal concept to work?

On a scale of 1-5, what are your thoughts?
1 - I would not visit another forum.
2 - I prefer the current format.
3 - Neutral
4 - I like the idea.
5 - I love the idea of the winning designer's site hosting next year's competition.

My immediate thought is that the comp must remain neutral. Wherever it is hosted the host would not be able to enter. That's the only way I can see it remaining neutral. If that works for the winning site then I'm all for it.

Resources for this year's films are up!

Between high-resolution press images and Blu-ray screen captures, designers have 100+ pieces to get them started on either film, along with any other imagery they may find or create whilst in pursuit of the ultimate title: Cover Site Battle Royal Champion.

http://www.mrcovers.com/2014/cover-site ... resources/
(If you recommend another file sharing service aside from MediaFire, please feel free to post it.)

CoverVizion, Uncovered, and HiResCovers have officially submitted their finalized lineups. Anyone who was waiting for the titles to be announced before joining, be sure to act now as the few remaining spots across our competing sites are filling up quickly!

Your Cover Site Battle Royal 4 lineup is officially set!

A single point away from the ultimate victory last year, Zungam returns ready to restore the Cover Site Battle Royal Championship to its Year 1 home, representing HIRESCOVERS.NET alongside xshoty and venome!

The king of custom horror covers looks to extend his mastery to historical dramas, as Chefjoe leads EUPHORICFX.ORG's defense of the Championship alongside Wysmommy and Demonology in search of an incredible third consecutive year of triumph!

After missing out on last year's competition, intricate powerhouse designer Matush is back to headline a veteran team, lifting OKLADKO-MANIACY.PL to new heights alongside GAROT and subwoofer!

His quiet presence in recent years makes every new Arkflip cover a celebration. Will the celebration also include a Championship title for COVERVIZION.NET next month, as he finesses high scores from the judges alongside Salsa and Cirus?

We have permission from his retirement home and prune juice is on tap: custom cover community forefather syxx0rz is out to show the youngsters how it's done for MOVIEGRAFIX.NET alongside Punisher34 and nikerun147!

With top-notch entries across each Battle Royal, M0vieM0nster has earned a reputation as the underrated star of the competition. Will this be the year that big talent translates into big scores for him from the judges, as he represents UNCOVERED.NAME alongside Nightrider and easylife?

It only takes one outstanding cover to win the Cover Site Battle Royal, and one outstanding cover is exactly what you can expect from SWECOVER.SE, as the site is once again represented by jcdesign!

After leading a strong, attention-grabbing debut for the site in last year's Cover Site Battle Royal, Shevka is back to continue ITALIANCUSTOMCOVER.COM's ascent to the top of the cover world alongside Lampard and minuted74!

And RRJR84 brings a rich history on both sides of the Cover Site Battle Royal to first year entrant COVERNET.ORG, ready to make a big splash for the site alongside bankska22!

---

It's an all-star lineup, with every designer and every site possessing the talent and creativity needed to earn the top vote. Who do you think will emerge as this year's Cover Site Battle Royal Champion?

Well, I think I have finished, of course I like it and think it's good, but that means nothing as we know, hopefully though it passes some mustard, will take a few more days going over it here and there before sending off, good luck to us! :)

Almost 2/3 of the entries are in, and this year is promising to be the most exciting one yet!

It is very interesting seeing the covers in a front-only context, I really hope you will enjoy the presentation. And, we'll all be enjoying the designs together around this time next week for the public vote!

Just a few days remain for cover inspiration to strike as the Monday, March 31 deadline for entries approaches!

You have all seen who will be participating this year, does anyone have an early prediction of who will rise as this year's Cover Site Battle Royal Champion?
