It's no great secret that the Mortal Kombat fan community has no shortage of artistic talent. From beautiful pieces of artwork to moving works of fiction, the fans have consistently stepped up to the plate to help enrich the world of Mortal Kombat. With a new Mortal Kombat game on the way, we decided to see who the best of the best truly is.

We are excited to announce the Mortal Kombat Online Fan Submission Contest! From now until August 19th, we will be accepting artwork and fiction revolving around the upcoming action-adventure game Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks! The competition will be split up into two contests: one for Fan Art, and the other for Fan Fiction! The grand prize winners for each contest will win a true collector's item: a copy of Mortal Kombat: Deception, signed by members of the MK: Deception development team!

Do you think you're the best artist or the best author on the site? Now is the time to step up to the plate. Show us and the community what you've got. GOOD LUCK!

  • Contestants are limited to one entry per category. Any entries after the first one in either category will not be accepted.
  • The rules for standard Fan Submissions will apply to contest entries. Those rules are available here.
  • Neither Fan Art nor Fan Fiction entries can concentrate on original or brand-new characters not yet seen in the Mortal Kombat universe. Any such entries will not be accepted.

  • The winners will be announced the week of August 28th.
