Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!
These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two! But only one member can wear the purple coins and fancy title of CotM Winner! Do you have what it takes?
The basic rules are as follows:
Spoiler:
» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!
» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a spoiler when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask!
» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety!
» All members are welcome to join, including moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too!
»UESPOINTS!
UESPoints (UP) are a chance for all you lovely UESP users to earn reward points for your achievements and for participating around the forums. The CotM is now awarding UESPoints as a prize, in addition to the usual 1st place prize of the purple coins.
Here's how it will work: When the voting period is over, UESPoints will be awarded based on what position you came in.
1st Place - 3 UESPoints + Purple Coins
2nd Place- 2 UESPoints
3rd Place - 1 UESPoint
2nd and 3rd place have to have at least two votes to qualify for UESPoints.
That's right! You heard me. Bring out those bad bones, show off what ya got. Everybody's got em and now's the season to let em loose! So what I want from all of you is to bring out your meanest, baddest, downright dankest skeleton avatars and kick this spooky month off right! So go out there and find me the best darn bag of bones you can find!
Our schedule for the October event is as follows:
October 12-26: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
October 27-30: Voting period – vote for your favourites!
October 31: Our winner is announced! Please note that all times are determined by me, BetaB17, and therefore will run according to Standard Central Time(Click here if you’re unsure when, exactly, that is!)
Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

Skeloki.
There's Loki skeletons in Young Avengers (what I used) and Old Man Logan and I was genuinely questioning which to use. I think this one works better for the contest but like, Old Man Logan Skeloki is huge.

I worked too damn hard on this avatar like 5-6 years ago for it to go unappreciated.
Just call me Unionspook.
