Thank you everyone (and here's the announcement journal)!


I've started this contest last Sept 2013 and thought so many times about cancelling it. I'm just so glad I continued it because it turned out to be another successful contest. And I thank all of you for that!  My only dilemma now is choosing the winners. So many awesome entries, you guys! Gosh! It's so hard to be the only judge for a contest like this ~ah!

Halloween Reboot (2014) Winners!S
o sorry for the slight delay (again). You guys gave me a hard time judging! So many awesome entries! Everyone gets extra 50 :points: for making the contest successful! Ah~
But alas! As much as I want to give prizes to you all, this is still a contest and not everyone gets to be a winner. My monitor has a steadily growing blot on its LCD so I kinda have to scrunch my eyes to see all the details in each entry (stupid dino monitor). Ugh! I really have to replace this computer soon!

Entries for the Drawing Category have reached 37 so Prizes for Third Placer have been unlocked. There were 40 entries originally but 3 contestants decided to delete their entries because they got impatient of waiting for the Oct 27th, 2014 deadline. Too bad, I might have named one of those entries as a Placer (either 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) because it was a really, really awesome entry.
And now, here are the winners: *drum roll*
:turbopoke: Ah~ wait.. Just a quick announcement before I forget about

Judging


:iconkunehogod:
kunehoGod

I will be the only judge for this contest.
Stories and drawings will be judged separately from each other.




· 45% for Theme Accuracy ·


· how close the story or drawing is to HALLOWEEN ·
(activity, costume, mood, etc.)


· 35% for Creativity and Presentation ·


You do not have to have professional skills to nail this!
What's important is the EFFORT you've given which, of course, will show in your entry.
I will be comparing your entry with all the other stuff you have in your gallery.


· 20% for In-Character Accuracy ·


· how much the entry brings my characters to LIFE! ·
(attitude, personality, tattoos, scars, history, etc.)
The accuracy I'm looking for does not include their official costumes because
I may redesign them at any time during the contest.
In fact, I'd love to see my characters wearing Halloween costumes for this contest.

Contest - Halloween NightRibbons of light glittered off the pond, throwing shards of light into the night sky.  The evening was eerily quiet. 
Perched upon a patch of grass, Midnite sat, glancing at the brilliant stars above. Her beautiful silver hair blew in the night air entangling itself across her face. Chronus wrapped loosely around her waist.
“God, the night sky sure is beautiful,” she whispered under her breath, a slow smile creeping across her face, “finally, Halloween. All the pranks that I can pull today, those humans won’t know what hit them. Ha, I’ll steal the candy the little brats took so long to collect from right under their noses and eat them while I’m at it.”
Snickering, she pulled herself upright.
“Perfect,” Midnite declared, inspecting her tattered purple dress that stretched to the ground. She fiddled with the intricate black embroidery on her costume, “as I’d thought, it really was worth it smearing the blood of t
[Contest] Hallowed SpiritsSilent footsteps hastily pattered across the lawn, making their way towards the front doors of a large mansion. Chuckling slightly under his breath, Bridgette adjusted his Halloween costume a little, making sure that it was impeccable, as his motive was to frighten a specific girl living in the mansion after all.
Ringing the doorbell, Bridgette waited anxiously for the front doors to open. And when they did...
"BOO!" he cried out, jumping out to scare...
"Kami-sama!" cried a voice of a man. Wait... a man?
Bridgette's face fell when he found that the person he was expecting wasn't his friend Kitsune. Instead, it was merely a butler who answered the door.
"Oh, young man... You gave me such a fright..." said the butler before bowing to Bridgette. "I assume that you're looking for the young mistress?"
As Bridgette nodded, a voice alerted him of the presence of his said friend. "Attempting to scare me Bridgette?" asked Kitsune curtly with an eyebrow raised.
"Ah, no, I wasn't," lied Bridgett
