Psylah sent us this great pic of her in her "Big Bad Wolf" costume (complete with little pig) and suggested that for Hallow's End this year, we do an ingame costume contest. We couldn't agree more, and so we're proud to introduce the WoW Insider Hallow's End costume contest. Just cook up a great ingame costume (could be something from real-life, your take on a Warcraft NPC, or anything you can think of)
before this Friday, November 2nd, and send a .jpg screenshot of it to us at
wowinsidercontests@gmail.com (with your full name, age, email address, and street address) Then, the WoW Insider staff will judge the entries based on 1/3 Originality, 1/3 Creativity, and 1/3 Costume Accuracy, and we'll declare a winner after that.
And what might you win for creating the best in-game costume? Glad you asked! WoW Insider has teamed up with the crafty (literally-- she makes crafts)
Manaprincess to bring you a trick-or-treat bag featuring
some of her favorite handmade crafts. The winner will get:
- Horde ribbon
- Alliance ribbon
- 2 hearthstone key chains
- 2 hearthstone cell phone charms
- Glowing hearthstone car light
And because it's Hallow's End, we'll even throw in a Jinx Warcraft t-shirt, and a 60 day game card! Tastier than candy, and more useful, too!
Here's the fine print: all entries must be in by 3pm on November 2nd, 2007, and all entrants must be US residents 18 years of age or older (sorry EU folks, but we've got to mail the package to you). Just send your entry (a jpg screenshot of an ingame costume you've put together) to
wowinsidercontests@gmail.com, along with your full name, age, email address, and street address. Have fun putting your costume together, and good luck!

Any chance on Canadian citizens being eligible in the future contests?
I mean, we're only across the border...

Hey Autumnbear (how are ya?!). Usually the only reason for the geographic limitations is when we have to ship something out, as we're not always the people paying for the shipping. But on many contests, we can go worldwide, and we're always looking for stuff to give away that doesn't have to be shipped (like special codes, etc) so we can get both Canadian and EU readers in on the fun.

Are Canadians able to win or is this another one of your Exclusionist contests?

Hey Mike, I'm not doing too bad.
I'm in your blogs, postin' messages!

Notice the Undeads' knees and toes poking out in that screenshot? In brand-new gear too. What a shame...
It's too bad Undead can't 'cover-up' their spines, fingers, toes, and rotting elbows/knees.

Be nice now guys...
I don't care really if we can't get a prize. I'd still like to be declared a winner anyways!
^_^
P.S. Manaprincess makes a fine-looking Hearthstone.

Don't forget us down here in the Antipodeas. There is more to the world than the US and EU.

The deal with contests in other countries is laws in other countries. Every country has different laws that relate to and restrict how contests can be run. Since our legal team can't stay up to date on the laws in every country (and they don't want us to do anything illegal anywhere), they restrict us to running contests in the US. And as much as I hate to say it, this isn't going to change. (I've been given a "maybe" on Canada, which I'm trying to get included in our next big contest -- but I can't make any promises, as making this happen all depends on our legal department.)
I'm sorry that our contests exclude other countries -- I really wish we could include everyone. But it's a legal issue for us and we just can't do it.
