Here's your chance to dress any of your favorite Punks in a festive Halloween costume! Now, there are a couple guidelines that must be followed:
1. No. Cosplays. No Cosplays No Cosplays D: Just to make it clear! I know it's a costume, but a cosplay is a cosplay! So please choose something else... more generic, I dare say?
2. Please try to refrain from making a Punk that is completely themed around a Halloween theme. (Such as a Punk that looks like my (Crimson Jazz's) avatar. In all reality, it's doubtful people would go that far for a Halloween costume. I mean, c'mon, my hair is dyed green! o3o )
3. You can create an alternate costume for an existing punk of yours! In fact, this is encouraged! If you don't have time and just want to slap a white sheet over your Punk without even removing the other clothes, feel free! (You can put a costume on any Punk, including cosplays, but again No Dressing Up as A Character for Halloween)
4. You have until October 30th to dress up your Punks!
5. You can dress up as many Punks as you want, but only one can be entered in the contest! (Which will be in the Guild, link soon. <3 )
6. What will winners get? Well, I'll give you a hint: See rule 1. ;D (The prizes will be listed in the thread shortly, so not too much thinking is required for this!)

Here's the best place to post the Punk you will be entering into the Costume Contest and the only place to post it is you want it judged!
[- Prizes -]
Now, you say you entered a cotume and you wanna know just what it is you win? Well, fine! Since you've been SO nice, I'll tell you!
The top three contestants each win a promotional Cosplay Ticket! This can't be used juuuust yet, you'll have to wait until Thanksgiving for that! But you can save them up and make sure you get first pick when the cosplays do return! Also, since Steamworks is just such a nice place, every other participant will be entered into a random raffle to win one of two more Cosplay Tickets! So, no matter how good or bad your idea is, whether or not you think you may win, you still have a chance! We may even be adding some other prizes, so keep a lookout!
Now, you wanna win, right!?
[- Judging -]
There will be... some number of judges (I'm still getting that together, so stick with me!) who will judge on the following things:
1. Originality
2. Flow (how well it fits your Punk and the Steampunk genre in general)
3. Execution How well you pulled it off. Does it seem realistic? (Aes!Steal)
4. Other stuff... Believe me, smarter people than I will be helping me with this! D:
Just so you know, you will not be judged on your 'coloring ability'. if you're no good at coloring, it's fine! As long you have a good idea and present it well! That said, you cannot have others make your costume for you! That is, the one you enter. Anyone can make a costume for anyone else as long as it is not entered into the contest!
