Guild Wars 2

The Mad King’s Masquerade Costume Contest

Time to challenge your creativity and create a look fit for the Mad King’s Masquerade! You are invited to come up with your best Mad King Masque-themed look, wow the judges and win Gold and Transmutation Charges!

The Rules:

*One entry per race per gender per person. One person can enter multiple times, but each set must be unique.

*Use GW2 Style to present your entry. Other venues will not be considered. Post in https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWarsDyeJob/ once you’ve set up your look at GW2 Style. Format your post to lead with [Mad King] and be sure to add “contest” flair.

*No “Outfits” allowed. (This means no use of Raiment of the Lich, regardless of how awesome your dye job.)

Things to Know:

*There will be two winners – One selected by three appointed judges and one by “popular vote”. Popular vote will be determined by the number of upvotes at /r/GuildWarsDyeJob/.

*Presentation matters! Take care with your screenshots, both location and composition. Remember the theme of the contest – the spookier, the better! While this is not a screen shot competition, a well-crafted screenie is going to please the Judges’ eyes.

*Graphic enhancements such as SweetFx are not encouraged.

*Since this is the Mad King’s MASQUERADE, ensembles featuring a mask will get extra attention! Not required for entry, but lets see some eye-catching looks with masks, okay???

Deadline:

Friday, October 30th at 12pm EST. Here’s your countdown clock.

Prizes:

Judges Pick: 50g and 5 Transmutation Charges
Popular Pick: 25g and 5 Transmutation Charges

Both Judges’ Pick and the Popular Pick will be granted “Contest Winner” user flair and be featured here in this sticky as Winners until next month’s contest.

Good luck and have fun!
As the contest coordinator, I reserve the right to adjust the rules/guidelines as we go, with reasonable consideration.

We’re over 50 entries so far, but there’s still plenty of time to enter! Come on by and remember to upvote your favorites for the “Popular Pick”.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Mad King’s Masquerade Costume Contest. There were 61 entries in the end, about three times the number I’d hoped for! So wow! Everyone likes to dress up for Halloween, its true!

Now, we have two winners to announce, the Popular Pick, which was determined by the upvotes within the Reddit. And the Judges’ Pick which was jointly selected after careful review of all the entries. We struggled to come up with a top five, then a top three, and then the winner….the struggle was real. Attention to things like unique armor choices and cohesive dye choices won the day in the end.

So the Mad King Winners are:

Judges Pick: Return of the Kurz Witch by /u/lithilliumn
Popular Pick: The Butcher by /u/InwarNoglory

Come on by to check out the winners…AND November’s Fashion Contest is officially underway, so stop on by to have a look-see at all the Fashionable People…after all, The Jungle Provides….
