I am pleased to announce a New Contest for the Hall of Mirrors! And no, it has nothing to do with that other contest that no one bothered entering!! (if you don't know about the Hall's long-standing other contest, please go look at the Table of Contents again, and enter so that someone can win the bloody thing!!
In the spirit of the impending elections and the approaching Halloween festivities, Thine Loving Forum Deity has combined the two! Your mission, should you accept it, is to pick your favourite movie monster or horror film character. These can be from popular or well-made movies, or from the B-movie gutters. You are then to think of a good for platform for your character, as if they were running for office. It can be about serious issues, or not. An ideal platform would address a few of the current issues of the day with some creative solutions, as well as some other entertaining issues.
Entries will be judged based on creativity and how well thought-out your ideas are, along with how entertaining your platform is. Being that this forum is a Dictatorship, the contest will be no different. I will be the sole judge of the winners. There will be a grand prize, and if there are enough entries (which there will be, RIGHT?), a runner-up. To balance the heavy-handedness, however, at the end of the contest but before winners are announced, a poll will be opened to determine the crowd favourite, who will also receive a prize.
Prizes: The Grand Prize is a free commissioned drawing of any subject and any style, in full colour by me. I used to do a lot of drawing, and I'm itching to get back into it. ;D. The Runner Up and Crowd Favourite will also receive a free commissioned drawing, but in black and white, with limited choice of style. All drawings will be 11x8.
As with any contest, there must be a few rules... here they are:
Entries cannot start until the 1st, but questions and such are more than welcome at anytime. I look forwards to reading this stuff and wish everyone the best of luck!!

As with any contest, there must be a few rules... here they are:
- Only Registered Members may compete.
- Entries will be permitted between the dates of 1 October and 25 October. The Judgement will be 31 October (doesn't that sound serious? "The Judgement" ... (hums the Imperial death march) ) Entries outside of those dates will not be considered.
- One entry per member. No modifications allowed once posted (that's why you get three weeks to think of something).
- There is no minimum or maximum length, but keep the entries at a length that is convenient for most people to read. Don't type a novella.
- Add all entries to this thread. Save the Easter Egg Hunting for April, otherwise your egg will be ignored, go bad, and start to stink.
