Greetings and Grande Salutations,

Welcome to our Masquerades fancy dress costume contest. We look forward to seeing what our acquaintances old and new have to offer in this friendly competition. Be bold and brave, you shall be rewarded.


Your Hosts.


Lise
Recently, my quite life in Menewsha has seen a rather large shift. A visit from my aunt and reunion with an old friend has thrust me into a leadership role a bit earlier than expected. I am happy to share this victory with my trusted companion Demetri, and the people of Menewsha.

Helpful hints: Follow the rules, and do not get discouraged if asked to try again. We all go the wrong way ever now and then.


Demetri

Hey guys, I went on a long journey, desperately searching for her. After all these years, I have just finally found my beloved Lise! To Celebrate this momentous occasion, our reunion and also meeting all of you fine Menewshans, I am holding this ball in your, and her, honor.

Helpful hints: Have fun! And be creative. Lise and I have a bit of a dark sense of humor, we also appreciate originality. Good Luck!

Rules
  • First and foremost, make sure you follow the Site Rules.
  • Be respectful! Constructive criticism is fine, but please do not 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 will know.
  • Please be sure to use the entry form when you post your entry. Failure to post the form properly will result in your avatar not being entered into the contest.
  • You may use your own inventory and the DAC 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 shall 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 or Lise or Demetri if you want to change anything.
  • Entries must be submitted by the end of the event.
  • Winners will be announced in the Community Discussion forum shortly after the event ends.



We shall 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

Double Jeopardy
This category is for couples. With a twist! That twist being, you are making BOTH avatars. Not only that but you must match them to each other in whatever color scheme you pick.

*Note: A couple could be lovers, twins, or even matching room attire. They must flow well and complement each other.

Tale as Old as Time

This category is a bit different. We are calling into our minds one of the most Iconic Ballroom scenes every to hit the big screens. Yup! You guessed it, Beauty and the Beast!

For this challenge we want you to take both things and combine them into one entry. A Beautiful Beast! The unique combination of beastly and beautiful. How you want to interpret that is up to you!

Note: Please include a brief description of what it is you are trying to accomplish.

He isn't even wearing a shirt, showing off his amazingly blue, tattooed abs. What a tool.

Description: The Beast, a.k.a. Prince Adam was skeptical about a blind date, but Lumiere and Mrs. Potts inSISTed that she was just his type... Eventually he acquiesced and got all gussied up. The Beast came down the stairs, hesitantly approaching the ballroom. There was a flash of gold. A...grunt? He rounded the corner and saw her, or rather, saw a lump crouched on the ground, her hairy leg going a mile a minute as she scratched her side and emitted a low grunt of pleasure. He coughed into his paw. "Oh!" She shot up...."I didn't expect you....um....I hope you didn't see my underroos. How embarrassing. I do apologize!"

Mrs. Potts looked on with tears in her eyes and started to sing. "Tail as old as time..."

Costumed Companions
This category is for group ensembles. Get yourself a group of at least three and Cosplay a Ballroom scene from any movie, book, or play.

*Note: There are a lot of movies, books and plays to choose from for this category. Make sure to link to an example of the scene. However, do not go into the full story. A link it more than enough.

We are CosPlaying: a scene from Tim Burton's movie, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. This is the part where Todd's wife, Lucy, gets lured away by Beadle, a mere minion, and tricked into getting roofied by Judge Turpin who was all lusty pants for her. We provide you with a picture of Lucy all flustered at this masquerade and you can also see for yourself in this short clip of the song "Poor Thing", where Mrs. Lovett is telling Todd what happened to his wife after he was sent to jail by Judge Turpin, if you start at about 1:15 seconds in the scene begins (or hear the whole story by watching the whole thing).

Paper Faces on Parade

This last category is rather straight forward in theory even if it isn't easy to implement. What we want you to do is research a Mask that you find to your liking. Any mask will do. From there we want you to do one of two options. You can either Create an avatar that looks like they would wear that mask or you can cosplay the mask you chose.

Note: Include an image of your mask with your entry.
