User blog:Acardwell415/Wikia's Halloween Costume Contest 2013



Halloween is nearly here, and here on Wikia, we’re getting into the spirit with our annual Halloween Costume Contest!

If you’re not familiar: each year, Wikia throws its own crazy costume party that invites all wikia from across all of Wikia to dress up your community for Halloween. What exactly does that mean, you ask? Give your community a spooky or Halloween-themed makeover by adding a custom skin (one that captures not only the spirit of your community as well as the holiday), a seasonal word mark, adding spooky elements on your main page…or anything else your community is feeling.

To enter your community into our Costume Contest, leave the name and URL of your dressed-up wikia in the comments below. Remember to get approval from your community before signing up (unless of course you’re the admin/founder). We’re encouraging everyone to get their “costumes” up as soon as possible and leave them up for the entire month of October. But they absolutely MUST be up by 8 a.m. EST on Thursday, Oct. 31 in order to be considered for the contest.

On October 31, Wikia Staff will put on our judges caps and hand-pick one community as the winner. The winning community (announced on Nov. 1) will receive cover story promotion (the revolving marquee at the top of the page) on the Entertainment, Video Games and Lifestyle hubs, as well as one month’s worth of promotion in the Wikia Spotlights.

Get creating, and good luck! And of course, have a Happy Halloween!
