During the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Emperor's Hammer, each pilot may submit up to 10 memes. Each of those memes will earn up to 10 points based on the following criteria:

Impression

• 1-2 points: Submission satirizes or makes an insightful observation about the EH or something that's happened within the EH
• 1-2 points: Submission is funny to the judge
• 0 points: Submission leaves no impression on the judge

Creativity

• 1-3 points: Submission reflects a clever use of the imagery it's reinterpreting
• 1-3 points: Submission adds something new to the imagery it's reinterpreting, usually an appropriate accessory like an EH rank badge or unit patch
• 0 points: Submission either doesn't correctly follow its meme template or simply applies generic text to an image. For example, submitting a picture of Darth Vader with the caption "Lord Vader approves of this celebration".

Notes:

• If a participant uses a meme template more than once, only the first submission will be scored and the others will not count against their alloted 10 memes.
• All submissions must fit the definition of a meme AND be EH-related. If either of these requirements aren't met, the submitter will be asked to rework their submission.
  • Note: Just being related to a game played in the EH isn't enough to make the meme be considered EH-related. The imagery, the text, or both need to reference the EH in some way even if it's tengentally.
• When in doubt, you can make a meme quickly and easily on https://imgflip.com/memegenerator.
• HA Plif will score all submissions and won't participate himself.
• Ties will be broken by GA Rapier, if available. Otherwise, by SA Maverick.

Submissions

• Limit of 10 submissions per pilot
• Please email submissions to HA Plif at tccom@emperorshammer.org
• All submissions will be published in a dedicated channel on Discord unless deemed unsuitable for publication
