Hardstuck Halloween Fashion Contest 2022

2 years ago

Raid your wardrobe, spruce up and join us in our upcoming fashion contest! Meet us in Deverol Gardens, Lion’s Arch Saturday, October 22th at 17:00 BST/18:00 CEST and decide the rise and fall of each contestant by voting live on Twitch!

Spooktober is upon us once again and what better time to hold another fashion contest. So dust off those costumes and join us in this celebration of all things spooky. During the entire stream, we’ll be raising money for Gamers Outreach, a charity that empowers hospitalized children through the power of videogames.

Gamers Outreach

Each year, millions of children and their families receive medical care inside hospitals. For many, the process can be scary and isolating. During hospitalization, kids lose access to friends, school, and moments that typically define childhood. Gamers Outreach is a for-purpose organization helping to restore a sense of joy and normalcy in the lives of hospitalized children.

All throughout October Gamers Outreach is holding their 3rd annual spooktacular streamathon.

You can learn more about what they do on their website Gamers Outreach and donate to the cause by clicking donate.

Categories & Rules

There will be two categories:

Angels and Demons: Whilst most people associate halloween with skeletons, the undead and various other creepy figures, but one must not forget the fashionable flair Angels and Demons possess. Dress up and daze the crowd by your heavenly or hellish appearance.
Free-For-All: it would not be a respectable Hs fashion contest without an open season for memes, weebs and roleplayers. The community loves this evergreen, so this category is here to stay.

The rules are very straight-forward:

Only one entry allowed: choose a category you want to represent and secure a spot for yourself in the according squad.
No outfits allowed: We don’t wanna see any maid outfits!

Challenge yourself by finding creative ways you can steal the show, and the audience’s hearts: tonics, miniatures, mounts and infusions are allowed to embellish your entrance. Feel free to add some roleplaying as well!

Event overview

Where and when

The event will take place on Saturday the 22nd of October, 17:00 BST/18:00 CEST live at GuildMM. We will meet at Deverol Gardens, Lion’s Arch.

First in line will be EU, then we will move on to our NA friends as soon as the EU winners are picked. The duration of the event might vary depending on the number of participants, although we are expecting about 2-3 hours for each server.

How to enter

To participate, tune in to the stream on Twitch and show up at the specified location. If you are in our Discord server, you will receive reminder alerts; if not, this is a good time to join! You will also find us advertising a squad in the LFG panel (check the Roleplaying category). Just get in line, but don’t be late: the queue will be locked after a certain point and you might not be able to secure yourself a spot!

Voting

Voting will take place live, on stream: simply wait for the showrunners to announce the opening and closing of each vote, then type a number from 0 to 10 in Twitch chat to assign your score to each contestant. All individual scores will be shown on screen, so you will be able to follow the rise and fall of our brave fashionistas as the event unfolds!

Prizing

There are 2 categories, each with 3 winners. The grand total will be 12 winners across both EU and NA!
Thanks to our glorious, fashion-conscious community, we have a bountiful prize pool, which will be divided among each category as follows:

1st place: 1 000 + a custom character portrait provided by a community artist
2nd place: 500
3rd place: 250

Community Artists

We’d like to give a big shoutout to the community artists that have graciously offered to provide the 1st place winners of each category with a custom character portrait.
