Intergalactic space strategy fans get ready for the chance to be immortalized in Galactic Civilizations 3, as Stardock Entertainment has announced a new community design contest.

Those dedicated members of the community with a keen eye for design can now create and submit their own spaceship designs for a chance to be incorporated into the upcoming 4X strategy game. The top entries will be added to the final game and voted on by the community to award a $1000 prize to the 'ultimate winner.'

Submissions are only being accepted until November 16th, so you have a lot of work cut out for you in the next ten days if you haven't started already. Galactic Civilizations 3 is currently in Early Access on Steam and available for $44.99 with game set to be completed sometime in the first half of 2015.
