The freaks come out this time of year, and knowing what freaks we all are, it is time to get ready for the Halloween Avatar Contest!!!

You know the rules.
You will be able to vote for your 5 favorite avatars!
(Did you read that BFF and snoz?) ;D

I will open the contest on or around the 16th of October.
Voting will begin on or around the 26th of October and will close at 11:59pm EST on the 29th of October!

You must post in this thread in order for your avatar to be counted.
Once you submit your avatar to the contest, it cannot be changed, so please pick wisely!

Enjoy and have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!

eta: I am running this contest a little differently. You cannot see the results of the vote until after I close the poll. That way, it will be more like a true vote/contest!

eta2: In light of the name changes for Halloween... here is how we are going to do the avatar contest now.

You can choose which way you want to do it.
You can either change your avatar for the contest, or you can post the avatar you want to use, without changing your actual avatar. ie. Michael Myers - He can leave his avatar the way it is and submit a different one to be included in this contest. All he would need to do is provide the image and I will make sure it is included in the poll.

Thanks again everyone!!!

eta3: Today is the last day to get your avatar in. I will unlock the voting tonight on or around midnight EST.
Remember, you get 5 votes!
And you will not see the results until all votes are in!

Get your avatars ready!!!
The thread opens at midnight tonight! (EST)

And be sure to read the latest updates to the contest! ^ ;)

Better late than never! ;D

Avatar contest is now open!

witch ever size works better

I've been going back and forth between Pooh & Company and The Morrigan.  Let's go with The Morrigan, my current avatar.

Tam, do you need me to put it in here?

Please wait for me (and maybe Carlos if he wants in on it). We will be home next Thursday (the 22th) and it may take us a bit to find new avatars.

It's fine... but if you have a bigger image so people can see all the detail, you can put that one in here. ;)

I'm not officially entered yet

So sorry I'm late.  I've been busy with my new job and mounds of homework (my daughter's).  I usually try to stick with something ladybug-related, but have been inspired by the profile bandit to choose Bloody Mary.

If it's too late, no worries  :)

Thanks again for participating!!! 8)

Tam, thanks for getting my avatar back. I also have to thank The Ghost for posting the image

That's what I'm here for :P!

So now I'm now Rowlf The Dog? Oh jeez,thanks a lot.  ::)

I entered last year's competition, but I wasn't one of the lucky winners. Haven't entered a competition ever since.


I've decided to give it another go this year. My entry is in my sig line. No messin' with me this time!



MTA: I know it's got little to do with Halloween/Trick or Treat, but that wasn't part of the rules anyway.

Vinny's avatar...
I had to do it this way so that he can change his avatar to the Grim ;)

Today is the last day to get your avatar in!
Jack Torrance? Is that the avatar you would like to use? I am going to use it until I hear back from you. ;)

After this contest everyone has to remember to get ready for the Guy Fawkes contest. It will immediately follow this one!
The of course the US Thanksgiving contest will follow that! Busy month that's for sure.

And thank you everyone for adhering to the rules.
I think this is our largest turnout for an avatar contest so far!!!

'Coz in order for me to lock the vote so no one can see it, I had to put in the number of days until the poll expired. I just chose a random number, because I knew I was going to have to unlock it anyway. ;)

Good enough explanation for you wiseguy? ;D ;D

You now have about 11 hours left to make your vote count!!!
