Welcome Avatar Costumers!
It's October and October means Halloween! Costumes, candy and pumpkins abound this tine of year. Here at DH, we're all about keeping with the seasons. We've already got you covered on the Pumpkins but since the giving out candy over the internet is a bit tricky (not to mention creepy ) we're going to skip over that one and bring you the chance to show off your costumes!
We know you've always habored secret desires to shave your scalp and paint blue arrows across your forehead! Now it's time to share that unquenchable thirst for super-fandom with everyone and have the chance to win a cool prize in the process!
We asked Mr. Greg Baldwin the voice actor behind Avatar The Last Airbender's Uncle Iroh to be one of our special guest costume judges for the contest and along with doing that, he has also agreed to send the Grand Prize winner an autographed photo!
For those of you who were at Comic Con 2007, here's your chance to build on your Avatar cast autograph collection that started with Bryan Konietzko and Dee Bradley Baker. A million cups of jasmine tea in thanks to Greg for helping us out in such a cool way!
How to enter:
•First, you must be a registered member of the Distant Horizon Forums.
DON'T PANIC if you aren't!!! It's easy, free, there's no requirement for you to have to become super-active on the boards, it just helps us greatly in the process of organizing and keeping track of your entry.
Of course, if you end up liking the forum and want to stick around we won't complain about that either.
>>You can regester an account here if you aren't already a member<<
•Make a costume for yourself based on anything in the Avatar universe!
It could be your favorite character or animal. Heck, you could dress up as your favorite Fire Nation War Machine! Be creative! You are however only allowed to enter one costume per person.
•Take your best photo of yourself in costume
You may submit up to 8 photos of youself in your one costume, but we will pick only one to show off in the judging and after the contest is finished.
•Send in your photos via a Private Message to our Contest Moderator
Upload your photo's to a free photohost like tinypic and send the image's address in a Distant Horizon PM to:
The Blue Chibi
•All photo entries are due no later than Friday NOVEMBER 2nd
That should give you a couple days to recover from all that candy binging you'll no doubt still be reeling from.
That's all! Get your creativity going and send us your costume pics!
Some things to keep in mind:
We have another, smaller unofficial non-Avatar costume based contest, which will be fan runned by Luna Chaos. So please keep this thread about Avatar costumes only. All question regarding any non-Avatar costumes go straight to her not us.
If you have any questions regarding all Avatar Costumes related problems, please post them here or PM a staff member.
Good luck!
