2024 Halloween Decorating Contest!

BOO! Get the cobwebs out of the attic and candy out of the cupboards, because it's time to celebrate Halloween in spooky style! Put your decorating skills to the test in our 2024 Halloween Decorating Contest! This contest is for both the Wizard101 and Pirate101 communities.

SCREENSHOT TIPS

Set your PC’s graphics settings to high and ensure the resolution is maxed (preferably 1920x1080 if you have the option).
Frame the scene for that “wow factor”. Consider lighting and location of items.
Feel free to include some friends in the shot for added flair.
You can also use Photomancy to remove the UI by pressing the ‘Z’ key, or for manual capture, press Ctrl+G to turn off icons.

CONTEST RULES

Entries must be submitted before 11:59pm US Central time on Sunday, October 27, 2024.

Entries must be entirely original creations made by you and your friends.

You submission must be unique to this year's contest. Reusing submissions from previous years will disqualify you.

Submissions worked on by multiple people will be awarded to the submitter. No additional prizes will be provided.

You MAY use bugs in the house decorating systems to create your submission. HOWEVER: submissions that heavily rely on or primarily use these bugs may be negatively impacted. For reference, think digital art. Using AI to help make art is okay. Using AI to make significant amounts of artwork is not acceptable.
