Presenting The 1st Annual Zombie Pageant on TOYSREVIL
Presenting the 1st Annual ZOMBIE PAGEANT Contest on TOYSREVIL! Yes, it is an online beauty pageant contest with a warped-twist, with the most voted ZOMBIE being crowned the 'Most Attractive Zombie of the Year' on TOYSREVIL on Halloween Night, 2011! And when we say "Attractive", it might mean a whole lotta different things, seeing it's a bloody zombie with exposed brains and guts and all the trimmings of subculture gore! muahahahaha
Accepting submissions from 2D-illustrations, to custom art toys, to even Cosplay, finalists will then be chosen by our dedicated panel of Judges to go into a 'Sudden Undead' Public Voting Round, whereby the YOU - the Voting Public - will decide who is the one and only winner!
The Prize is a Trick-Or-Treat Grab-Bag of awesomeness including the following goodies:
01. Signed original artwork from Richard Page (artwork undrawn as yet!)
02. Space Zombie Figurine from Imagination Asylum Toys (shown above)
03. A pair of customized Zombie Playmobils from Zombiemonkey (shown above)
04. A MechaZombie Toasterboy original resin toy from Mongar Toys (number of your choice with what remains of the stock at contest's end).
05. A 'surprise' prize from Motorbot of DeadBear Studios (as-yet-unveiled).
And the Voting Public is not left out of the fun! A sole voter for the final winning Zombie will be randomly picked to win a set of Lenore figurines sponsored by Aileen Ye!
CONTEST CAVEAT:
UPDATED: There is an Explicit Caveat to this contest tho: Submissions has/have to be a brand new work done within the last 6 months. It would be extremely great if it were previously unpublished in any way shape or form (of an undead zombie - the irony does not escape me ;p) but I understand some might be done within the recent timeline for various intentions, and want to be able to include that in this competition. It could ne commissions, or for fun, or event for exhibitions, but it has not to be previously entered for competoition or contests before.
Entries failing such terms will be deemed void and inadmissible. No exceptions.
TIMELINE:
UPDATED WITH NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: Contest Starts NOW and Submissions END on October 8th, 2011 @ 12noon Singapore-time (+8 GMT). Select submissions will then be posted on the TOYSREVIL-blog, and as well posted up for Public Voting on the TOYSREVIL Facebook-page, and the announcement of the winner on Halloween Night on October 31st, 2011!
