Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have you ever wanted to test your artistic avatar creating skills; In the form of a cosplay contest? Well, Christmas has arrived for you my eager beaver!
As of July 31st! Vice Captain Capn Raccoon has launched a guild event. The event will take place on the first Sunday of every month, generally with every month having a specific set theme.
The prize will vary from month to month, but generally speaking it will be a small cash sum, ranging from 5K+
Prize will vary monthly, depending on how good the overall winner is and how skint Capn is
(This event is run by Capn alone, so don't expect anything too major)
And; To add a cherry to the top of this rather small iced bun, I will keep a permanent list of previous winners.
So what are you waiting for? Jump on in =]


Rules
. Capn will judge your entries.
. Capn's word is law with this competition; No QQ-ing if you don't win
. A rough estimate of the Prize for that month will be announced before the competition of that month starts.
. Cosplaying other Gaian's avatars is disallowed.
. In Free for all months, try to make it someone people will know.
. Winners will be announced on the First Sunday of the Month, so make sure you have your entries in for then.
. Avatars must be made with your avatar, I will not accept avatars made on Tektek.
. Your Cosplay must be your current avatar on the day of judging; This is to make sure we don't get any Tektek cheaters.
. Regarding EI's; You may use the market place to put on a past evolution; And send me a screen cap of it.
. In regards to keeping original avatar touches; Such as your avatars base
Cite; Capn Raccoon's base; Feline Skin, coon tail, etc.
Then more points will be added to your overall score; As long as the original touches don't ruin the cosplay.


How to enter
Want to enter, but have no idea how?
It's simple; I'll be accepting entries to the event a week before the judging date; So that'll be the last Sunday of the previous month.
Merely post in this thread whilst wearing the cosplay on your avatar; I will screen cap your avatar and enter it; You can then change out of your cosplay
IMPORTANT - Make sure I see it.

This Month's winner is
Rissid - I picked Rissid as the winner this month; Because of how immense her avatar was.

So; Gratz' Rissid.
