Basically the title says it all. How many concepts did you post or are planning to post?
The rules: NO IMAGES. Galie replied to me directly: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=104
Write how many of each type you are sending or sent. List them under swords, axes, hammer, <profession> focus, <profession> wand, <profession> staff.
As for myself, I submitted 5:
2 Swords
1 Axe
1 Hammer
1 Earth Ele wand
How many concepts did you send in (or going to) for the Design-A-Weapon contest?

I plan on submitting 2:
1 Spear
1 Scythe
I figured that I should try to spark some interest into the Nightfall professions.

I just submitted
1 sword
1 axe - (It was originally suppose to be a caster weapon, but the design went through a whole bunch of changes because i accidently spilled soda on it. Now it looks better than the first time I drew it)

I haven't drawn in awhile, but I have a few ideas. Particularly for a scythe. Although i'd like to see some more staff skin so maybe i'll through one of them together.
We'll see how my drawing goes this weekend.

Although it doesn't state it specifically, references in the rules on the GW website say things such as a cool new weapon, a drawing etc....
As far as I can tell it seems to me that you're supposed to only send in one.

Actually, the FAQ mentions that you can submit more than one entry:

How many entries can I submit? If there is no stated restriction in the contest rules, you may submit multiple entries, but be aware that no individual will receive more than one prize, and no individual will have more than one entry sent to the second level of judging. In contests such as our Design-A-Weapon Contests—where there are many different opportunities for design (shields, weapons, focus items)—we understand that there may be a natural desire to send more than one entry. Therefore, we are willing to accept multiples in this contest. In other contests, we may specify "one entry per person," and should we receive multiple entries from an individual, that individual will be disqualified. |

I sent one shield to fit the whole "Primeval" theme. It's just a pencil sketch, but hey, Gaile said they were looking for good ideas, not perfect drawings 
Predatorus Viktus
I sent in one axe.

I submitted just the one, an Ele staff but could suit all casters.

If you're wondering how many we've received, well, it's many hundreds already, and we've not yet received the packages from our partner offices in Europe, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and China.
What I've seen so far includes a large number of really exceptional ideas. The judges have their work cut out for them!

I hope all contesters are treated equily no matter from where they are,i mean,I hope American contesters dont have more chance than European for example.
I noticed there were mostly winners from America last competition,but I guess its becouse the most of drawings are send from there...big country
Oh and Gailie,do judges judge only the drawing or maybe if you wrote a short info of the weapon or named it is additional plus?
I hope its just a drawing O_O...i didnt named it nor wrote info...
prism2525
I named a few of mine, especially the axe. however i guess anet may change the name to whatever they want. I don't mind as long as it's mine
EDIT: Galie, when you mean "hundreds" you mean hundreds in terms of single drawings or different contestants? (As you know ppl can send multiples in one envelope)

Mister Muhkuh
started drawing too late, so I only sent in 1 shield...
it's a basic drawing, but after all the basic drawing is what they use...

I cant draw so i sent in none, i had 2 or 3 ideas (sword, bow and Rit staff) but as i suck so much at drawing ill just have to hope some one else has the same idea lol. GL to all you guys!
WinterSnowblind
I have no drawing talent, but I still wanted to submit some of my ideas. Unfortunately, I haven't even had time to play the game lately, let alone draw some ideas for it. Oh well, I'm sure you guys will have better ideas anyway. I did really love the weapons that were put in last time, I can't wait to see what we get this time around. Will people be allowed to post pictures of their designs once the contest is closed, or do we have to wait?
clawofcrimson
there is so much talent beign displayed in these contests....makes the prospect to win kinda discouraging 
are there only going to be 25 honorable mentions like last time?
@muhkuh
I submitted sketches as well... but with this many entries they will probably only notice the well detailed ones...oh well...heres hopin.. *crosses fingers*

i'm afraid only 1-20th will get any sort of prize. 1-10 being winners while 11-20 being honorable mentions.
That's what I understood anyway.
I'm not an artist either, but i still drew some, others i made with photoshop. It costs nothing to try. (well, just the postage )

Sent in one staff (that I reaaaaaaally love) and a wand, hammer, and axe that are in the same style. I dint have the time to make more matching ones.
Sir Skullcrasher
I bet there are a lot of weapons to judge through. I wonder if we'll see some of those weapons or designs in GW:EN.

Hi All,

Good luck to everyone!

Btw,one question for Gaile:
Why dont you show the drawings of honorable mentions? I`d really like to see those...
Is it becouse you cant bother scanning them or maybe you dont want to show them so people wont flame you for picking winners and not some honorable mention they find better?
Thank you

Meh,i got no money to send letters,those things arent cheap here.All i would like is just cool looking chaos sword.*drool*
ElinoraNeSangre
Yep, it ended up just being the focus for me; dropped it in the mail yesterday (despite my husband attempting to convince me that a more unconventional delivery would be more fun).
I wanted to do some other stuff, but I've had a creative block lately (boo). I might start drawing GW characters to get over it. :: cackle ::
Really looking forward to seeing what stuff wins - new shiny things!

I started working on mine when the original contest rules were posted, which, I'm pretty sure, used to say "one entry per person". Or maybe my mind was getting all confused with the Guild Emblem contest which I had entered before. So I only did one, not that I really had any more ideas anyway.
My design was a focus. I sketched it in a 'technical drawing' style, but the drawing also includes a few "alternate designs" for one of the focus's surfaces, so I guess it's sort of like a few entries...
