It isn't, it is for the entire month of October (staying Halloween themed). :P

Right now Ben wants everyone's ideas for contests. He told us if we told anyone his real plans he'd take over our accounts next. O.o

I wouldn't hang yourself up over details that will be revealed to you at a later time. All you need to know is that giving Halloween contest ideas now is a smart move for later. ;)

Lol, there really isn't anything to be confused about... Just make a contest and if it's good you'll get a prize! :D

Basically we're looking for ideas for Halloween-related contests. These contests will be packaged and hosted throughout the month of October leading up to the unveiling of a grand prize (better than a theme!) for the winner of the month. That prize, more information on this event, and more of Ben's antics will be revealed on October 1st.

So if you have any ideas for a contest then post it here or PM me. You may also have the option to host the contest yourself with my approval which may score you some extra points for the month. Oh yes, and submitting a contest idea that gets approved in general also gives you some starting points towards winning. ;)

It's a love story, baby just say yes
Pumpkin decorating contest? Get a blank pumpkin image and people carve (decorate) it in PS/Gimp/Paint/whatever. I've seen it done on another forum, and they had users wear it as their avatar while they were being judged, was really cool. I can probably find the pumpkin image they used pretty easily if you'd like.

You could obviously do Halloween related design contests, even step it up and do a Halloween theme contest. Make it at the first of the month and let it run all month long to get the most entries possible.

Or perhaps a Spooky Story Contest? Write a scary story, would probably be able to fit in 2-3 of these in the month of October too. Could give a special theme along with the Halloween related requirement, like 'must incorporate a ghost into the story' or 'must involve kidnapping'.

Along the same lines, someone could do a Halloween mad lib. I believe someone did for Hollywood Member Weekend. Make a scary story and then we can fill in blanks with names, details, etc. I think it was a contest actually, idk...

There's some ideas, I'l try to think of more.
Consider this statement my permission to convert my themes to other platforms. Please link back to http://geoffreykoester.com. Be sure to rehost all theme images on the new platform as we do not know how long they will redirect. Also some boards hosting theme/skin images may not survive the move.

Oddly enough the majority of those contests are ones that we already have planned. ;)

Photo-manip?

Post the original photo, manipulate it and then post the manipulated version of it. Halloween-style, obviously.

What I also have in mind but y'all probably have that in your list as well... Is to dress up, take a picture and (hopefully you'll have a few contestants) vote who had the best costume... ?

Also, create a creature of your own, make it all bloody or creepy or whatever... ?

I don't know. XD

I'm pretty something like your first idea would require people to have some experience in designing, so I don't think it will happen. There will be some more simple design-related contests, however. As for taking a photo of your costume, I suggested something similar, but Cody mentioned that some people aren't comfortable posting pictures of themselves online, so I can almost guarantee that won't happen. I think the same goes for your last idea as your first idea.

I do recall telling you that, but I actually was thinking about it and it might work out if people use masks and whatnot to remove some of that insecurity that some people may have. I'll have to think on it some more. :)

Basically what DPM's hinting at here is that we're trying to keep the contests inclusive to as many people as possible. This way everyone has a fair chance at winning the grand prize and it's not just geared towards designers. :)
