Welcome to
Above Top Secret's Halloween Avatar Competition!
As of this moment, the competition has begun! It shall run until November 1st, 2008 at 12:00AM PST. At that point, the competition will be closed
and the judges will take over. Each submission will be judged on different aspects, and our winner(s) will be announced.
In the past, we have had different divisions for different members, which does permit everyone to participate. It has worked in the past, so we will
continue with it. Our two divisions will be the
Lightweight Division and the
Heavyweight Division/
Lightweight Division
This division is for members who do not regularly create images, or hold breathtaking photo shop abilities. We do stipulate that you do create your
own avatar to enter the competition.
If you need any assistance with an avatar, resizing or cropping, it is asked that you turn to myself for help. This is merely to restrict the editing
of submissions, by other members or competitors. So if you need help, do not hesitate to ask. I would be more than happy to lend a hand.
By clicking the link below, you will be able to send me a u2u.

Heavyweight Division
This division is restricted to the members who create their own avatars, without any assistance. If you wish to enter this division, you can not ask
for any help. Judges will weed through all the submissions and decide on a winner. If you are submitting an avatar in this division, it is asked that
you have created the avatar yourself.
Please Read the Rules before Entering!
Each member may submit ONLY one avatar for this competition.
Members are not permitted to post 1 avatar per division, it is 1 submission for the whole competition. Any others will be deleted, no questions
asked. Staff will not remove older image posts so that you can resubmit. You will only have the regular “edit window” if you need to fix an image.
Members who submit an avatar in both divisions will have the second avatar deleted.
Images that break the Terms & Conditions Of Use will be removed and the member will
be disqualified from the contest.
Before submitting any submission, please take a moment to review the Avatar
Guidelines for Above Top Secret. If your entry does not meet the guidelines, it will be disqualified. If your entry is disqualified for not
meeting these standards, but did not break the Terms & Conditions Of Use, members will
be permitted to submit another entry, if time permits.
Images submitted after the deadline will not be accepted
To formally submit your avatar, please post in this thread displaying your avatar in the post and announcing what division you have
entered.
Staff members may participate. However, if a staff member wins the competition, the highest ranking non-staff member for that division will also
be awarded the necessary points.
Awards
Winner(s) of the Lightweight Division will be rewarded 5,000 BTS Points! Winner(s) of the Heavyweight Division will be rewarded 10,000
BTS Points!
If either winning entry is of a conspiracy theme, they will be rewarded with a bonus 5,000 BTS Points.
When judging commences, other point totals may be handed out to deserving entries. (which I guarantee they will)
