11/1/09: Entries have been updated through page 8.

Welcome to the official avatar contest of Halloween 2009!

There will be three categories this time around: Traditional Halloween Costumes, Wacky Halloween Costumes and Traditional Halloween avatars (Halloween colors prevail!) See the following posts for more information on each category.

Your Hosts:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...yGodmother.png -- Need a fairy godmother?
Hey guys! I'm Sizzla, and most of you have probably seen me around the forums at some point or another. I've hosted a few of the avatar contests during our events now, and it seems that this time I'm at it again. I'm looking forward to seeing all of your wonderful costumes!

Helpful hints from Sizzla:
My category this year revolves around themes, so please make it obvious as to what your costume is! I want to be able to know who you are at a glance. Of course color, balance and item choice all come into play, but for the most part, I want to see your theme shine through! :D

http://i37.tinypic.com/2j1x7d2.png -- Happy Halloween Hilarity!
Hey folks:) You may have seen me on such shows as "Beavis and Butthead" and MTV's "Daria". Now, I make my happy little home here on Menewsha, bring sarcasm and humor to all it's good little girls and boys. Since I enjoy humor so much, I am hosting the Wacky Halloween Costumes contest this year. I am really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

Helpful hints from Daria:
What I am looking for: I love to laugh, and your Wacky avatar should make me do just that. Throw away the traditional avatar rules when entering my contest! You don't need 1001 layers, good balance to your items, or perfectly matching items to win my contest. You need creativity, humor and to think beyond the box. Your avatars need to be Halloween based, but "Wacky" at the same time. You can include a little story/punchline about your avatar to really add that bit of humor to your costume if you'd like. I do NOT want to see cluttermonsters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...s/ImpChild.png -- Trick-or-treat?
Hey all! I'm Ferra, a familiar face I hope. ;) I've been given the wonderful opportunity of co-hosting the Halloween avatar contest this year. I'm looking for creative outfits using traditional Halloween colors and themes, so be sure to give it your best shot!

Helpful hints from Ferra: I like themes, but a nice looking and well balanced avatar can be just as nice. Being clever never hurts, but I should be able to tell what your aim is without a lengthy description. Please don't stick on random items just to fill in the gaps - sometimes less is more. I'm looking for traditional Halloween colors (orange and black) or something that captures the Halloween spirit but would not be considered a costume.

Rules
Read the rules and follow 'em. That's all I ask! XD Make sure you read them all too, because there may be something in the rules that's necessary for your entry... ;)
  • First and foremost, make sure you follow the Site Rules.
  • Be respectful! Constructive criticism is fine, but please don't be rude to other entrants.
  • You can only enter once in each of the categories, and you may not enter on a mule account. If you do try to enter on a mule, we'll know, so just don't bother. XD
  • Please be sure to use the entry form when you post your entry. Failure to post the form will result in your avatar not being entered into the contest.
  • You may use your own inventory and the Menewsha Avatar Creator to make your outfits.
  • Please be sure to save your entry to an outside image host like Photobucket or imageshack. What we see is what we'll judge, so be sure that the avatar you enter is saved and won't change.
  • If you want to change your entry, you may edit your submission up until it is posted on the front page. Once it is posted on the front page, you'll have to PM Ferra if you want to change anything.
  • Entries must be submitted by November 8 at noon CST. Winners will be announced in the Community Discussion forum shortly after the event ends.
Prizes
We'll choose first, second and third place winners in each of the categories. Other prizes might be added as the event goes on, depending on the amount of entries received.

Prizes are as follows:
First place: 5,000g
Second place: 3,000g
Third place: 1,000g

Wacky Halloween Costumes Category

Show me the funny! I want to see something Halloweenish yet off the wall at the same time. You can take a traditional costume and add a twist to make it funny, parody something, or just make your avatar Halloween strange. Remember, I do not want to see "Cluttermonsters". I want creativity and humor, not the ability to just put all the items on in your inventory at once. You do not need a billion layers to make a winning avatar for this contest, nor do you need items that match. Think Wacky, unusual, funny, oddball, etc. when creating your "look".

On the left is my original entry, but I've edited it and would like to submit the one on the right as my entry. But since I'm not sure if that's okay, I've got both images still up.
What you're dressed up as: A Zombie Bride! I would have used a Zombie skin, but I had to use the MAC since I still don't have a lot of items.

Why is this a Wacky costume: In this little town in England I live in, the guys are -constantly- dressing as girls or in copious amounts of pink for a night out at the pubs. I can only assume that it is a popular task for a lost bet. So this poor lad had his witch costume picked out by his mates, I guess...

Can you enter the same costume in more than one catagory?

Suona 10-31-2009 03:25 PM

Glad to see you doing this again, Sizz :3

Jeannesha 10-31-2009 03:28 PM

Ooo.... I wonder which entry I should go under...

Suona 10-31-2009 03:31 PM

Maybe traditional?

I'm thinking if i'll enter. Not really sure yet.

Sensible Cricket 10-31-2009 03:55 PM

Can I change my entry slightly? The more I stare at it, the more I think the bride's hair needs to be orange. >_>

Suona 10-31-2009 03:57 PM

I'm pretty sure that you can just as long as it hasn't been put up on the front yet, otherwise you would have to PM Ferra

Sensible Cricket 10-31-2009 04:27 PM

I've got both up now, at any rate. So if it's not okay, the first one is still there. ^^;

Suona 10-31-2009 04:30 PM

That always works, I guess. lol

Vickyll3 10-31-2009 04:31 PM

Good luck everyone, Wish I had a costume.
