An avatar contest hosted by Sizzla & Daria

Welcome to the official avatar contest of the Festival of Winter Nights 2010!

There will be two categories this time around: Holiday Colors avatars and Holiday Characters avatars.



Hey guys! I'm Sizzla, and most of you have probably seen me around the forums at some point or another. I've hosted most 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 outfits!

Helpful hints from Sizzla:
Please, PLEASE follow the instructions! If your avatar is entered into my contest and you don't have the right colors in your outfit, you won't be entered, so make sure you're dressed appropriately. :D



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, bringing sarcasm and humor to all its good little girls and boys. I am really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

Helpful hints from Daria:
Be very creative! Originality and humor goes a long way with me. Above all else, have fun!

Read the rules and follow 'em. That's all we 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 Dream Avatar Creator (DAC) to make your outfits.
• Please be sure to save your entry to an outside image host like Photobucket, tinypic, imgur 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 Sizzla OR Daria (but not both!) if you want to change anything.
  
• We have a new rule for this event. You may NOT submit the same avatar for both contests. We really want you guys to treat our contests as different entities. If you do submit the same avatar to both contests, your entries will be disqualified.
• Entries must be submitted by January 2 at NOON CST. Click here to find out what time it is in Central Time Zone right now! Winners will be announced in the Community Discussion forum shortly after the event ends.

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:
For participating: You'll receive a Fun with Tinsel EI

First place: 5,000g
Second place: 3,000g
Third place: 1,000g

This is your traditional "look pretty, festive and matchy" contest. :D I do like creativity though, so feel free to go above and beyond just color matching on these. Entries in this category should have colors in ONE of two color schemes:
1) Red & Green (with white, black, gold or silver accents)
OR
2) Blue (with white, black, gold or silver accents)

Have you a desire to make a reindeer avatar? Maybe you are feeling a little snowmanish? This is the contest for you! I am looking for holiday icon/character avatars in this contest. You can make a traditional costume avatar, or create your own! That's right, if your own holiday doesn't have it's own characters, or if you're just feeling witty, you can simply make one up! It can be an icon for a holiday or even for the winter season. Perfectly matching avatars is not a requirement, but it won't count against you. Please include a little explanation about your character and know that I will use whatever you put in your entry in the judging. Remember, I look for creativity, fun, and humor.

Enter your avatar in Sizzla's category if you are dressed up in holiday colors.

What you're character is and any extra fun information/details Daria should know: The snow fairy brings gentle powdery white beauty to the world. She must beware, Jack Frost will ruin her lovely wonderland with his cold and jagged icy death. Thankfully the fairy has her bird friends to warn her to his approach so that she can counter his magic with her own.

I love the avatar contests! <3 BRING IT ON!

I've been to shy to enter avatar contests until now.
No, shy isn't the word.... hmm.

What you're character is and any extra fun information/details Daria should know:
My avatar is of a young woman who absolutely loves the Christmas season because it gives her a reason to wear warm, fuzzy, clothing. (Not to mention, it's the only time of year when no one will laugh at her for wearing her polar bear hat and boots.) She models for the fashion magazine during the winter season since she is always the one to go to when it comes to fuzzy fashion.

She enjoys Christmas music, caroling even though she's bad at it, and a nice warm cup of cappuccino. She would have brought her little scotty dog, fuzzykins, but he had to get his fluffy fur shaved off due to fleas. :(
