Okay, what I'm going to do is actually come up with the backstory later on this week. Since I have a few other contests wrapping up, I want to get those finished before starting this.

Just know that the first and/or secondary aspects of each of the winning categories will be used. How and in what way, I haven't said yet (and haven't completely determined all of them yet), but you'll see soon.

mostly because this is the most weird kit ever.

can't we just pick 1 from each category and start the crafting?

I want to have a unified design so I can actually have a frame of reference when evaluating / grading them. Ultimately, I might come up with 2 backstories, but I'm still working on it. In the meantime you can vote in my current contest and determine your favorite art here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2082510

Bumping this up since I was bored and I want to keep track of this (probably for other people too).

I've almost finished the basic backstory. I should post it Thursday night, 10 May 2012. I'll probably have phase 2 of the contest run until mid-to-late June to compensate for the late start.

Well, this phase of the contest hasn't started yet (it will start tomorrow night or Friday night since I'm graduating tomorrow and I'm not sure how much free time I'll have).

I wouldn't start working on anything yet because you don't know the character concept background or the Champion's role yet.

As for works-in-progress (WIPs) once the contest starts, I'd suggest just making another thread and asking for people's feedback. Posting your WIPs in the contest thread will most likely just get overlooked, although a link to your thread that has the WIP wouldn't be bad. Remember, this isn't a requirement, but note that all good design is heavily polished and feedback from different people can help a lot. Iteration is the key -- keep doing it over and over until it becomes perfect.

no offense, but in my opinion, this is such a waste of a contest. A contest should have actual potential to produce a solid character design, story, etc. (even if it's just for the LoL community) A contest should stimulate creativity, but this one is just so half-assed (I mean come on, rainbow ponies? You think that the intricate and fantastic lore of League of Legends actually has space for rainbow ponies? lol) If you're gonna go for a topic such as this, at least don't restrict it too much. Leave space for the artists' imagination and creativity, otherwise all the contest entries are going to look similar.
I mean this would be totally fine if the League of Legends community had a contest every so often, but we don't. We have like what? 1 or 2 a year? But instead, a topic like "What if My Little Ponies merged with League of Legends?" comes up. What a waste.

As negative as he sounds, I agree :/ ^ truth
