Square-Enix; please disqualify this Hairstyle entry.

[Crimen]

It all depends on how it is done tbh.
If you straight up ripped off a picture from the internet then yes, by all means disqualify.
However, when you thought you came up with something but someone else recognizes it from something else then it gets muddy.

Once again
There is no such thing as original hairstyle.

They literally downloaded someone else's picture online and submitted it as their own. That is the argument that OP is trying to make.

You should try to somehow contact se outside the forums, you dont actually expect a reply or confirmation here do you O.o lol
Their presence is not here.

gl on your plight however!

Call me mildly bitter...but I feel like alot of the female ones, we have already.... Just altered a BIT.

[SoothingBell]

WOW I feel like they didnt even look through all of the designs. Youre telling me that stolen Roxas wig got into the damn finals???

The female ones also look a lot like the hairstyles that already exist in game but just slightly altered :/

[Esperstarr]

That's what I'm saying, "Pat"!! (spongebob reference).

I looked at the female ones again and there are alot of nice ones, but still... There are alot of MILDLY different ones that make em think they seriously didn't look at anything NEW.

I do not think those are the finalists.. though it'd be extremely disappointing if they are.

I don't even know where to start to get in contact with the people who need to be informed. They don't exactly leave a way to contact them personally to inform if there is a problem in a contest.

The current report function is for in game and website issues and they have you deal with people who are of no direct influence on the contests so the information we tell them might make it too late to the people who actually need to know.

Besides it's the weekend, Dev's and Forum mods never really post on the weekends so I'm hopping they can see this during the week.

I saw the pigtail one and was like "We seriously already have this one. It's just ever so slightly different"
