Halloween Costume Contest [PC/PS2]

[Momonpso]

Deadline for entries is now past. Results will be posted as soon as all of the judges are done evaluating the entrants.

TRICK or TREAT!!!
Calling all witches, warlocks, cats and clowns! Dress your character up for Halloween in your very best costume and take a picture of your creation. Then send the picture to me in a private message. The deadline for submitting photos is November 1st, 12PM Eastrern. Winners will be chosen and awarded prizes!

FAQ’s?

1) Why send in a picture? Why not post it here?
If you have an original idea for a costume, you don’t want others copying your idea and perhaps doing it better than you and winning the prize.

2) I’m on the PS2, how can I send in a picture?
Either take a picture of your screen with a digital camera and load the picture on your PC - or - beg your dearest friend who happens to be on the PC version to take a picture of you and send you the file so you can send it in.

3) Why not have a costume contest event on the servers?
I was thinking of doing that but it is difficult to find a time that is good for everyone. This way anyone can enter no matter what time zone they play in.

4) How is this being judged?
The judging will be based on creativity and execution of desired effect. Please send along a description of what you are supposed to be in case it is not overly apparent. Also try to take the best picture possible so that detail can be seen. A good idea is to have a fellow PC player take a picture of you in first person view. For example: The Opy Christmas Doll http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y35/norcris/psu20080927_171447_000.jpg

5) Who will be the judge?
Myself and a panel of our distinguished forum moderators will be the judges for this contest.

6) Enough of the chit chat, what’s the prizes?
Halloween candy for everyone!!!! No... I guess not. Since I am doing this on my own the prizes will not be absolutely must have one of a kind stupendous giveaways, but hopefully it will be enough to entice all you little goblins to enter and have some fun.

1st Place: 3 million meseta and first choice of a rare item from a selected group of personal rares.
2nd Place: 2 million meseta and second choice of a rare
3rd Place: 1 million meseta and third choice of a rare
4th -6th Place: 500,000 meseta each

The list of winners and their winning photos will be posted here at the end of the contest.

Good luck and may the ghouls inspire you!

What if the character always looks as such, but it could still qualify as a submission?

[Momonpso]

Perpetual Halloween? :lol:
Sure, go ahead and submit. Just remember to tell us what it is you are supposed to be just in case we can't figure it out. :/

[Dana]

[Momonpso]

Enter as often as you like but only one prize per person. :)

[Momonpso]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

[Miraglyth]

I believe this one is over.

[Momonpso]

Yes, this contest is now closed :D

The turnout was rather small so I am going to raise the amount of the meseta prizes as a bonus to all those who did participate.

The judges will go over the entries and as soon as the results are tabulated I will post the winners here.

THANK YOU and GOOD LUCK to all entrants!

Just for the fun of it... here is my character dressed up for the holiday:
