Guild Wars 2

Wintersday Parade Fashion Contest

It’s that time of year again! Time to dodge snowballs (and snowglobes!) and round up the presents. AND, most importantly, to don your finest festive Wintersday ensemble. Show off your Santa hat or your fuzzy ear muffs, your dazzling colors and impeccable taste! It’s time for a Reddit Wintersday Parade!

Judges Panel:
Kit the Traveler, GW2 Personality
Becii, November’s Judges’ Pick Winner
DyeJob Moderator aka Yours Truly

The Rules:

• One entry per race per person. This is slightly changed from previous months, so please take note.
• Use GW2 Style to present your entry, and complete the process by including the armor and dyes used. Other venues will not be considered. Post in gw2dyejob once you’ve set up your look at GW2 Style. Format your post to lead with [Wintersday] and be sure to add “contest” flair. Start your own thread for each entry. This is so you can get votes for the popular portion of the contest. *(see below)
• No “Outfits” allowed.

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.
• Presentation matters! Take care with your screenshots, both location and composition. Make sure we can plainly see your character (don’t take your screenie scrolled too far out) and take the time to get in a good location that fits with the theme of your outfit and the Wintersday Parade! While this is not a screen shot competition, a well-crafted screenie is going to please the Judges’ eyes.
• Graphics enhancements such as SweetFx are not encouraged, but not forbidden.

Deadline:
Sunday, December 27th at 11pm EST. Here’s your countdown clock. Winner will be announced no later than Wednesday, the 30th.

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 to show off their fashionista status.
• Additional prizes this month provided by ArenaNet: Two “not generally available” minis for each winner. Thanks, ArenaNet!

Good luck, get your fashion on and have fun!

Note: Select the button labeled “Showcase Your Character”, which is located near the top on the sidebar on the right within the subreddit. Enter the title as follows: [Wintersday] Name of your Character (this should be close or the same as you’ve named it at gw2style.com). Enter the URL for the gw2style page for your look. Hit submit. Go back to your post and underneath the title are a bunch of options, the last of which is “flair”. Pick “Contest” from the list, hit save.

As the contest coordinator, I reserve the right to adjust the rules/guidelines as we go, with reasonable consideration.
