These Grand Company Colors Don't Run!

Crisis approaches Eorzea in multiple forms and now more than ever the need to boost the morale of the ranks for each Grand Company grows stronger and stronger. Kinship amongst fellow Grand Company members and forming inseparable bonds with comrades are indispensible assets in the face of impending danger!

To accomplish this, adventurers are encouraged to express their patriotism for their Grand Company by designing a custom banner, which they can use to fly their flag high and raise the spirits of everyone who can see it as well as serve as a war drum to all enemies near and far!

It doesn't say anything about country of residency. I guess this is open to all people regardless of where we live?

Prize is ingame item so there is no need for that kind of rules.

There were contests with in-game items as prizes in the past and they were still region blocked. I guess that's not the case this time though.
