Judging will be done by the OGaming staff and the OGaming community based on the following criteria:
Costume – The more you look like a Fae the better your chances. It would also help if you’ve got mad tailoring skillz or if you moonlight as a plastic surgeon.
Setting – You will receive points based on how extreme your location is, so most likely you won’t get a whole lot of points if your photo is set in your living room. Unless your living room is in somewhere like the Ninth Circle of Hell.
Originality – Of course, overall originality presented in the submission will be judged, so don’t just copy some elf costume you saw on a magazine or something. Be creative!
Every contest has to have rules, and this one is no exception. It’s pretty straightforward, really. First, absolutely no Photoshopping. The usage of Photoshop or any other image manipulation software is prohibited and will result in an instant disqualification. Second, all entries must be submitted to the OGaming EQ2 team before 5:00pm PST Monday, October 23rd. Also, only one entry per person, so if you take too many pictures just sell them on eBay or something. Lastly, pictures must be in good taste to be considered. No nudity, extreme violence or adult content. You can dress up like a bad elf, just don’t take a picture of you doing any bad stuff.
The winners will be announced on Tuesday the 24th during OGaming’s weekly EQ2‘s-Day broadcast. Additional beta slots will also be given away during the show to some lucky listeners so be sure to tune in even if you didn’t join the contest.
Alright people, get those crafting and tailoring tools out and start sewing like crazy!
