I went to the Guild Wars website yesterday and came across this:

You are invited to put your imagination and your creative talents to work in crafting Halloween art with a Guild Wars theme. We have some suggestions here for projects you might want to undertake (and you can see last year’s winners for inspiration, too):

* Carve a Guild Wars Pumpkin or create a pumpkin-carving pattern.
* Fashion a Guild Wars costume for yourself.
* Design a costume for your Guild Wars character.
* Create a Guild Wars Wallpaper or Desktop Art.
* Devise a “treat” with a Guild Wars flavor.
* Decorate your house in a Guild Wars theme.
* Find your own way to bring a Halloween twist to Guild Wars, or a Guild Wars twist to Halloween.

Kind of interesting. This sounds like the sort of thing I’m inclined to do anyway, in particular the bit about designing a costume for a Guild Wars character or creating a Guild Wars wallpaper. I looked over the prizes– First prize is nice, the others aren’t remarkable but it’d hardly be worth complaining if I won something. The page links to last year’s winners. Some of them are nice, but there are a number that I’m certain I could beat if I tried. I linked only the best images here — Some of the others are noticeably bad.

As such, I’m thinking about entering. We’ll see if I can make time between now and the end of this contest.
