Halloween 2011
Welcome to MAKE and CRAFT Halloween 2011! We're thrilled about this year's contest, which will span both sites and be hosted here on Make: Projects. We've got six amazing prize packages lined up. Here's how the contest will work:
- Starting now and running through Nov 8th, 11:59pm, any Halloween content on Make: Projects (tagged with "halloween2011"
) will be eligible for entry. - Anything Halloweeny is eligible as long as it fits into one of these four categories:
- Costume - Anything you wear on your body, including makeup
- Prop - Things you carry with you, costume accessories like weapons
- Decor - Porch decorations, pumpkins, party decor, and animatronics and haunted house spectacles
- Food - Edible favors, candy, and any creations made of food
- Two final Grand Prize categories will awarded, in “Craft” and “Tech.” Judges will divide the projects into these two categories before judging begins and the entry in each Grand Prize category with the highest total score will be the Grand Prize winner.
- Prizes will also be given in each content category for the highest overall scores after the Grand Prize awards are determined.
- Entries will be judged on Creativity of Idea: 25%; Project Execution: 40%; Quality of Documentation: 25%; and Presentation: 10%.
Note: Projects will be assigned to the above subcategories by the judges. All you have to do is make sure your projects are tagged with "halloween2011" and get them up by 11:59 PST on Tuesday, Nov 8th. You can enter as many projects as you like (but you can only win one prize).
