Now that you are all done with building your custom Dr Grordbort’s ray gun, it is time to think about Halloween! 2011 marks our second annual Halloween Costume contest and in honor of that, we have doubled several of our prizes!
One of the best aspects of the RPF is seeing all the incredible costumes (and props) built and worn by our members! From Sucker Punch to Captain America our members have some of the BEST costumes on the net, and our Replica Costume Forum is one of the fastest growing areas of our site!
Contest Rules and Submissions:
Please read the rules before submitting your costume as not following them may result in your disqualification from the contest!
Entry Submission
Email us at promo@therpf.com with "2011 Halloween Contest" as the subject line.
Include the following in your email:
We will again have three categories with a first place winner for each category and a runner up in each category .
The categories are:
As we mentioned last year, we are breaking the main categories down by sex because if we didn't, the guys wouldn't stand a chance against the girls! One of the biggest complaints in costume contests is that the most scantily clad female always wins the contest so we are avoiding that by splitting the contest between the guys and the girls.
We again have a children’s category to help encourage our 2nd generation RPFers and to ensure our love for props and costumes is passed on to that next generation.
How are winners determined?
We will accept entries through Nov 2 (so you have time to submit your Halloween photos).
On Nov 7, we will create 3 polls which will include the entrants (by photo, not name) and have the members vote on the winners through Nov 10. Winners will be announced on Nov 11.
What are the prizes?

Contest Rules and Submissions:
Please read the rules before submitting your costume as not following them may result in your disqualification from the contest!
- You MUST be a registered member of therpf.com! If you are not a registered member, your entry will be disqualified! Click this link to register.
- One entry per person (if you are a parent, you can enter your child as well as yourself)
- If you've previously won in any category you will not be permitted to re-enter the costume for which you won.
- If you entered the contest previously and were NOT a winner, you can enter your costume again, but you cannot use the same photo as last year.

Entry Submission
Email us at promo@therpf.com with "2011 Halloween Contest" as the subject line.
Include the following in your email:
- Your board name – this is important! Don’t leave it off!
- The name of your character/costume and what it is from example: "Batman from The Dark Knight"
- What category you are entering (men, women, children)
- ONE good, clear photo of your costume that will be posted publicly on the site. Please don’t send multiple photos for us to choose from! Pick your best photo and send it. Please note, we will resize all photos so that no photo is larger than 800 pixels on any side. If you would like to resize your photo before sending, that would be greatly appreciated.
- A second photo that is "proof" it is your costume in order to dissuade those who might simply submit a random photo from off the internet. The "proof" photo needs to be you, in costume, with either a sheet of paper that says "The RPF Costume Contest" or a photo of you in costume with your computer in the background with the RPF up on the computer. This is a very important step, so make sure to include your "proof" photo when entering!
We will again have three categories with a first place winner for each category and a runner up in each category .
The categories are:
- Females in costume
- Males in costume
- Kids (12 and under) in costume
