The S.H.A.A.T.S. Club is proud to announce it's first(hopefully not last) event, a contest to test the skill and artistry of our many talented members. This year's theme- Dracula's castle. Simply, create a scene with Drac's hangout in one or all styles. Categories will then be voted on by all available members who wish to do so. The entries will be judged by scene assembly and craftsmanship, atmosphere, and faithfulness to the category. I have excluded myself from the contest. Cori and CB can decide whether to allow moderators to participate. You can use the Drac castle pictured(sorry, kind of diminutive in the pic) or assemble a castle from the sets floating around the STEX. Or even make one out of the landscape. City size or if you want to do a whole region, that's entirely up to you. I've uploaded the Transylvania region for use too- The 3 categories are as follows- Expressionist Black and White: glorious monotone ala Nosferatu and Bela Lugosi. Sepia counts too.   Hammer Time: Rich,  vibrant Technicolor ala Chris Lee   Quirky, retro, ornate: Gary Oldman overdone opulence. There are 3 chances to win, and 1 over-all winner. 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive silver and bronze fangs(or coffins, I haven't decided yet ).  1st place will receive Bela Lugosi's medallion from the 1931 classic.* Entries should be posted in this thread by midnight October 25th. Voting polls will begin on the 26th thru midnight of the 29th. Winners will be announced on Halloween, the 31st. Maybe CB can whip up one of his poll tabulators like he did last year. Be on your "A" game. Korver might have entries. *a badge under your ava, not the actual medal.
