Calling all artists and fans! Capcom is giving you the opportunity to illustrate your own vision of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 to millions of fans! Today, we’re officially launching the 2010 Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fan-Art Contest: Paint with Greatness !

Come tell everyone a story using nothing but your imagination and art style. How do you intepret Marvel vs Capcom 3, with the greatest cast of celebrated super-heroes, legendary characters, and epic super-villians ever assembled- completely at your disposal? 

Do you choose to open the floodgates to a colossal free-for-all battle? Or do you focus on a deeper story between a few characters?

Do you choose to pit classic blockbuster heroes such as Spider-Man and Ryu against each other? Or do they fight side-by-side against the evil Dr. Doom and Albert Wesker?

The scenarios are limited by only your imagination.

So draw to represent the community.

Illustrate an epic battle.

Paint with Greatness.

The best four pieces of artwork will be selected to be showcased in the official Marvel vs Capcom 3 campaign. The four artists will also walk away with a copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3 on launch day. One grand-prize winner will be selected to recieve a Marvel vs Capcom Fightstick, along with the game!
