Oblivion Contest, Win an autographed version of the CE Options

[Alexander]

Welcome everyone, to the Oblivion contest.

We got together with a couple of other Elder Scrolls websites - Elderscrolls.NET, Oblivion Source, Planet Elder Scrolls, TESSource and the Imperial Library - and decided to run a contest; Mostly to shorten the waiting time, but also because we think it'll be a lot of fun. The contest is about dressing up like someone from Tamriel: a person, a creature a monster - whatever you want. To spice things up, Bethesda and ourselves are donating some very cool prizes for the three best entries. So be sure to check it out, participate, and most of all: have fun!


Borrowing a bit from Stargelman here:


What is it about?

Simple: dress up as a citizen or monster of Tamriel and take a photo of it! The choice of motive is entirely yours, as long as it fits into the general Elder Scrolls theme.


How does it work?

A panel of seven judges from the Elder Scrolls scene will pick the best entries which will win our great prizes, most of which have been graciously donated by Bethesda Softworks! Check out the prizes here. The only condition to enter the contest is that you send a "normal" picture of yourself without disguise so we can be sure it's really you. This picture will not be published. Additionally, if you wish to protect your privacy, you can choose to have your picture published without name.
A link to the Prizes:

What happens to my pictures?

Your entry picture will be published on the official contest forum. Updates will be made every 1-2 days. Your verification photo without costume will be kept confidential.


Who can enter?

Really anyone! Except the judges and staff of the participating fan sites, of course. That is, they can enter, but they cannot win


But ... I'm shy!

Despair not. If you so wish, you can choose for your entry to be anonymous. This means your entry picture will be shown, but only with an entry number, not with your name alongside it. Please note: Your private (verification) photo will never be shown, no matter if you select the anonymous option or not. Only the judges will see it, and it will be deleted after the contest has finished.

Ok, I'm ready! Where do I sign up?

Easy! Just click Here and upload your pictures!

Now I assume that answers most of your questions, you can find a simple statement of the rules of the contest here:

Should you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Wow, this sounds like real fun! I think I actually might participate! Now I just need to figure out a good character/monster and start working with the costume . This might actually make the waiting a little bit easier.

[Miltiades]

Can't wait to take a look at all those cool entries, so send them in!

Best of luck to all of you!

... but... but... I don't have a good camera, costumes and I'm shy... Lol
I do have a big ol' broadsword, shield and bowl helmet in my attic, though!

[Jokkocze]

Im so gonna participate!

Think I'll put on my the full armor, grab my big sword and let my bro take a photo..

But how important is the background? Is a living room ok? Or would a big white sheet be better?

[Vinya]

I have a WICKED awesome idea for mine...... >:D but its somewhat predictible. Just a question: if we don't have the right props, can we paint them in? Or does it all have to be "real"

[Donny]

ooohhh i think ill try it out. Nothing to lose here, but something to win....nice.

i, also, live in the wods which will be good if it makes any difference what your background is.

P.S. YAY first post

Wow. I so wanna join! but I do not have a custume...nor ability to do that

I sooo wanna see monster costumes and especially the Argonians!

[Flea110]

It says that I could be a person or monster from Tamriel. Then in the rules it says that "the theme must be related to oblivion". Does this mean that I can't be someone from Morrowind?

It all has to be real, no one's allowed to photoshop in an armory of Daedric armor and blades and all such

good point, we're looking into that right now. My own personal opinion lends towards "tamriel"

hang on for the info

[Jokkocze]

But how about the background? How important is it?

[Igiss]

Great idea! Should be interesting to see the photos... they will be published in this thread, right?

I'll post the news at Cyrodiil Chronicles as soon as I get home.

[Jokkocze]

Submitted picture, old tho (I call it, "The newbie who sold his sword to afford a helmet")

I got that. I was making a joke.

I gotta figure out how to make an antler hat >:q I'm not going out to buy one, no sense in wasting money on something like that.

[Jokkocze]

True. Im heading over to my brothers little basement smithy tomorrow to make my smashed up harness wearable again (I hate traveling to and from LRP). Maybe I'll make something obliviony aswell.
