It's that time of the year again! As the leaves change, the temperature drops, the nights grow longer- it is time for the Vampire Rave Halloween Contest!

This contest is open to every member of the site. I, along with two other members who have agreed to judge, are the only ones not allowed to participate.

The contest is themed for Halloween and should open it up for all kinds of works. From All Hallow's Eve, Day of the Dead, The Great Hunt, Samhain, The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. However you see the season, let's celebrate it together.

The contest consists of two parts, so let's get started-

PART ONE: Profile design. Show us your skills. Not just code work but designs. And yes- that includes free membership profiles.

Prize: One-year membership for the best Premium profile. One-year membership for the best Free Member profile. That is right- free membership members will have its own prize. If no free profiles enter, the prize will be awarded to the runner- up in the paid memberships class. But I really hope you free members get into the fun.

I have more than one profile, can I enter more than one profile? YES!

What if I have a paid membership and a free one? Enter both? Yes! But you will only win one membership. Let's play fair.

How do I enter? You post in this thread, saying I have my profile ready to be entered from the profile. Do not send a message to me- post it in this thread so all members can enjoy seeing the profiles.

How long do I have to leave it up? The contest lasts till October 31st. It will take a few days after for the judges to view them, so we are asking you to leave them up till the winners are announced here in the forum.

What if I want to gift the prize to someone else? That is fine, just let me know.

PART TWO- Stories and Poetry. This part is for those who are skilled with the written words.

Again it needs to be Halloween themed and only original work is allowed. No limit on how long or short, just make sure it's your work. Ha! I made a rhyme, just on a dime. I need to stop, getting to be a lark...

Ok ok- shake it off, get back on track.

Prizes: One-year membership for the poetry. One-year membership for the best story. Again- if no one enters a story, the prize will be awarded to the runner up in the poetry group. But I am really looking forward to the stories as I have read a few journals that would prove the talent is here, in both forms of written words.

Can I enter both a poem and a story? Yes. And enter as many of them as you wish. It is not limited to how many times you enter; the more you enter the better. Just know if you win one membership, you will not win in another category.

How do I enter? Same as the profile- you will need to post your work here, in the thread. As with the profile so the whole site can enjoy your work.

Can I give the prize to another person if I win? Yes. Just need the member's name.

Some last minute things -

A total of four prizes of one year memberships is to be given away. You can not win more than one prize.

Three members will judge, vote for who wins. Two judges are not super active on the site, but are in good standings. Then myself as the third judge.

If you have a question, please ask here. This thread will be watched, and answered by any Admin who feels they can address the question. This is a contest I use to hold every year, bringing it back. The structure of it is the same as years past.

So with that--- the contest is started. Let's enjoy Halloween together and SPOOK THIS PLACE UP!!

Halloween

The creatures of the night captivate their prey.
This is the night that kills the innocence of the dawning day.
The ghouls anticipate their move to bring about their scares
to naive little children who are taken unawares.

The little cherub hands that hold their candy bags
are lining up the streets, smiling at scary clowns and old hags.
They impatiently wait for their bags to be filled with yummy treats.
The creatures of the night, they wait patiently without defeat.

When the innocence of youth is taken one by one.
Questions are always asked but what is done is done.
So take this story with caution and do not trick or treat.
Halloween night is not safe so please stay off the streets!

It might take me a few to fully work it up. But via popular request, I am in the midst of working on something specifically for this.
I may well turn it into a song/music release for the site, as well, but I'm not really sure, at the moment.
