Hi Orange_Blend,
Someone posted a question whether it would be possible for the winner to receive a amazon.uk.co gift card in case the winner lives in Europe?
I haven't seen your answer or must have overlooked it. :confused

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
Did you get an answer on whether to put them in Group or Kids Under 12. I have two as well 5 & 6 but I don't think kids should be judged against adults. I know last year there were a few siblings entered together in the kids. Is this still ok?
Hi, I am a new member so I am not sure on if I can enter or not. I made costumes for my kids from Legend of the Seeker and I would like to enter a picture of them together. I don't have any progress pictures though because I made them for DragonCon and it was last minutes so I only had a couple of days to make them and didn't stop for pics. Can I still enter? And would I enter them for group since there are two of them in the pic or kids under 12 since they are 4 and 5? Thanks

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
I must have missed that post! It's a tough call. On one hand you want them competing against people their own age and on the other it may be considered unfair to post an entry in the kids that has more than an individual would be able to show.
Here's how I'm going to interpret the rules:
If you have multiple children you can enter them EITHER individually in the kids section or as a group with the adults. You cannot enter them as a group/couple in the kids section.
If you choose to enter them individually you will need to create a build thread for each costume and submit two images to the gallery. In your build thread however feel free to post pics of them together and tell about how you made the costumes to work in tandem. Also feel free to post a link to the other build thread in your initial post.
Hope that makes things simpler for folks with multiple children.

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
Completely get that point however its even harder for a 5 and 6 year old to compete against each other is the same house Especially if there costumes are themed.... Unfortunatly they have yet to learn good sportsment ship with in the family. LOL If they are competing against others they have very good spirits even if they loose. My son last year was so happy to come in second place and asked me if I could make him a costume like the 1st place winner lol HOWEVER, Brother against Sister... Different world!
So Guess I'm going to have to put them in the group...

Re: *** the RPF 2012 Halloween Costume Contest ***
I thought about that. It would just be unfair to submit them together in the kids area. If it were my kids I would just tell them that since they can't be put in together that they're still on a "team" and any prize would be split between them.
Would work for my kids, don't know about yours.

Good Food For thought... I still have some time. I wont be taking the "good" pics till the halloween party on the 30th so I have some time to think it though. Guess I'll see what kind of single vs group pic I take. Also talk to them about it give them the option to do it either way. Seprate the costumes are cute but together they just complement eachother so well. But what shows up in person vs film could be the derminating factor. I just got a new camera.. Lol haven't had much time to learn how to use it. We'll see Thanks for ur help Orange!

Voting again?? I am not surprised. The winner is going to be the best "political begger" with the most fake Facebook friends and just another popularity contest. I think there should be judges not voting as it is too unsecure.

As a matter of fact:
And:
Contests are an advertising opportunity for the site and if it's all kept within the community there is no outreach. As mentioned in this post though you have to be a registered member in order to vote so "fake" Facebook friends would have to register, log in, and vote.
This GREATLY lessens the amount of folks who are going to vote from outside the site and hopefully the ones that do register stay and become active members.
Some of our contests are judged but I think you'll find that the majority will be voted on by our membership (as has usually been the case in past without problem).
