Contest Rules

Note: Judges for individual server events will not be representatives of that server.
  • Any Hero or Villain may enter.
  • No member of PERC may enter.
  • The winners of the finals will be representatives of their respective games and should personify that game.
  • Huge body type heroes/villains will be determined to be male. Monster heroes/villains will be determined male or female by body type, and/or name and biography if necessary.
  • Judging for the contest will be scored for costume and creativity. The final contests will be based both on costume design and on a short series of interview questions. Interview answers will be judged in the finals only. Costume scores will be formulated the same way in both individual server contests and finals.
  • Judges have the right in the event of a tie to refer to character biographies and how they apply to the character concept.
  • Interview answers will be judged in the finals only. Interview questions will be available to answer online after the last server competition judging is complete. A link to that site will be made available to our finalists at that time. If you do not complete the questions you will not be allowed to participate in the finals.
  • Character screenshots of the finalists must also be submitted by January 1st, 2010 by 12:00am (midnight) EST. This is to ensure that in the unlikely event that one of the judges is unable to make it to the finals judging, the finals will still continue as scheduled.

I <3 this event.

I entered last year and went to the finals with my Dominator. She was Ms. Rogue Isles Victory, or I guess she still is.

This is the reason I joined P.E.R.C. so you don't have to worry about her defending h title.

Bring out your best costume.

Can you be the best dressed?

For Science pack users who have a toon where the various costumes are part of a team and in turn they are different genders, are you able to enter both the Mr and Mrs competitions for the respective faction?

I believe it's one character per contest.

You may only enter one contest with one character. Please choose your favorite and enter that.

I believe that Zamuel is asking about a single toon with multiple personalities.

While yes you can only enter one toon on one server. To answer your question specifically, for those people that change the genders of their characters, you will only be judged on one costume for that one character. So, pick the best costume and it will be judged as the appropriate category for that costume, i.e. if that costume is a hero with a male or huge body frame it will be judged in the Mr. Paragon City contest.

Hope that clears it up.

Don't forget to sign up by clicking the links in OP.

Everyone has a good chance, just don your best costume and smile pretty for the camera! Remember, people from this server will not be judging you Toril, so bribes wouldn't work anyways :P. See you on the 12th, I will be one of the MCs.

According to what I can gleen from last year. Victory was very close to sweeping the Overall Champion of each catagory.

Well, we do have some pretty snappy dressers. Plus, it's the unofficial GLBT server, so there's that as well if you play to stereotypes.

In the HeroCon videos we saw that Praetorian Clockwork comes in both male and female variants within Praetoria itself. Does the code switch with gender or is it just male?
