October "Michael Myers" contest

Whats up guys
I wanted to toss something around, that some, or maybe everyone might be interested in doing. Maybe beginning of October. Each person choose one mask, of their own. Maybe post 1-3 pictures, and have a poll where everyone can vote. I think it would make the month of October fly by. Maybe even offer something of a prize to the winner. Hell I’d chip in. Lets hear what people think of this idea.

These kind of threads can and usually do start trouble. People’s feelings get hurt when they’re not voted for. And some of the registered user’s on this site don’t exactly have the body for costume shots if you know what I mean. I think it’s cool that your trying to do something fun. But trust me it’s not a good idea.

Yea, this is just a recipe for disaster.

I’m not too sure if something like this could work here. It’s a cool and fresh idea, though. Paintball used to be another one my hobbies that I loved to do years ago, and I was part of a few forums that would do something like this. One contest was called ‘Mag of the Month’. The individual who put the contest together would normally just award a T-shirt or a hat to the winner, but of course the best part about it was that you had bragging rights for the entire month, and the pictures of your marker would go into an archive or a ‘stickied’ thread that would have every monthly winner along with pics of their markers. Everyone was only allowed to submit/post two pics of their specific marker during the first three weeks of the month, then voting would start via a thread poll and be collected during the final week of the month, to which the winner would be announced at the end of it all. I’m pretty sure that’s how the contest went…don’t quote me though.

First, you’d have to have someone committed enough to organize and run it…obviously. Secondly, I think every monthly contest would have to be sub-categorized. Like, you wouldn’t wanna have an H1 Mask of the Month contest, because that would just turn into a popularity contest amongst cliques who back certain mask makers. Voting would just be one-sided. I think it would have to be more like a 75K of the month, Vintage75 of the month, or Buried of the Month…that kinda thing. Anyway…it’s a cool idea nonetheless, and it could honestly work and be a lot of fun. Or maybe it could crash & burn haha!
