'Next of Skin, Got to Enter to Win, Halloween Lucky Dip '.
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by Alternate Setting | Discussion: Community
Welcome to the opening post of the 'Next of Skin, Got to Enter to Win, Halloween Lucky Dip Competition'. Open to all Wincustomize subscribers this is a community member driven competition, inspired by the 'Next of Skin' Community WindowBlind. I'm grateful to AVMAN who co-ordinated the creation of the Windowblind and whose addition to the total prize fund has helped make this competition possible..
The rules are simple. Any presently registered subscriber is invited to submit an original Halloween image of their choice together with a title. Give us Halloween Winky's, Novelty Pumpkins, Wacky Witches, Ghastly Ghouls, whatever you think might be fun. Present them as icons, a wallpaper, mock up a fantasy WindowBlind - we don't mind, we just ask you keep the file sizes manageable.. Feel free to make it a family effort and if it helps, your own scanned drawings are welcome - so long as they are coloured, or otherwise finished in the digital art program of your choice.
Each subscriber may enter only once. Each entry will by default have a post number. On the night of Halloween all the numbers will be placed in a bowl and the lucky numbers drawn out. So you see, you don't need to be the best artist, or have the latest and greatest programs to win, you just have to enter and cross your fingers for luck. It's also a great opportunity for those that have never posted, to join in the fun and say hello.
At the moment there are 2 prizes to play for:-
The first number drawn will win the much talked about 2yr re-subscription worth $19.95.
The second number drawn will win you the choice of Master Skins or anything from the shop up to a total value of $10.00.
The lucky winners will receive their prize as soon as processing allows. Note that in order to process the prize we will need your user name & e-mail address in order that the skin of your choice can be cross-referenced with your subscriber account.
Members under 16 are asked to check with an adult before entering.
Feel free to PM myself or AVMAN if there's anything you are unsure about.
Thanks & Good Luck - Andy & Harley.
Added Edit: Non-Competition Entries
Anyone who would like to post an image, but not enter for the draw, can do so. Just preface your post with the words 'Non-Competition' and that number won't be entered into the draw.
Thanks
Andy

Here's a quicky to set an example.
I can't think of a clever title, so I've gone for something slightly spooky and called it:-
"Something Winky, this way comes"

Here is my submission for this great and generous contest. I admit its not the best quality but then again I am NOT a proclaimed artist graphic or otherwise heh 
I do hope that it is not TOO unbearable to look at
It is a morphed pic of my some of my halloween decorations. It was done on Photoshop.

Nothing at all wrong with that - it's a great entry, thanks for joining in Anne Marie .
I'll use this post to remind anyone else who'd like to be entered into the prize draw, you have 2 days left to post your entry. The cut off time for posting is 12:00hrs GMT (midday), on Wednesday 31st October.
If you're stuck for ideas, I can hardly believe after 2 years of Aero, transparency & now blurring - we haven't seen a 'Casper' yet.
