It's time once again to decide what our theme should be for this upcoming contest.
Before you vote be sure to read the short description of each of the categories posted below, and vote for the one that appeals to you the most, not just the one that you think will win.
Ones man's trash is another man's treasure.
Something that is trash to one human may be of true value to another. Some artists use this in their own artworks. For this theme, you are to create something that may be valuable to you but not to someone else, or create something that is not valuable to you, but valuable to someone else.
Be sure to describe how it is valuable to you or another being, maybe even create a story.
Elizabethan
Ruffs, frills, wigs, feathers, leggings, stockings..
The Elizabethan Era spanned the length of Queen Elizabeth I's of England's reign from 1558 to 1603. The period marked the start of England becoming a world power, as well as a leading nation in European art, literature, theological study, and philosophy. This period's dress combined a multitude of different countries' styles from the time period, and featured a wide range of color schemes and color symbolism. Time for you to skin this period of English history.
Roaring Twenties
A time where flappers wear short hair and silly dresses, gangsters go around in suits and tommy guns, and sweet, sweet jazz.
In The Jungle
Now that we've explored deep underwater and ventured through the clouds, let's take a trip to the jungle! Create a skin of a character native to the jungle.
Futuristic Industrial Revolution
We are in the generation of technology. We are using machines to do our tasks, transportation to move us around, and to ease our lives. However, machines have become so significant that now robots are being used and made to take over the labor of human society, such as fighting fires, constructing buildings, cooking in restaurants, etc.
Skinners following this theme will have to think of a futuristic robot or machine that has a job of a normal human. Their robot/machine will have to have something that they use in order to perform their job.
Feudal Japan & East Asian
The rich history of east asian culture extending from the 10th century to the late 18th century, characterized by regional military rule by powerful families.
Future Evolutions
What do you think about what we'd evolve into if we were to evolve? What would they be like? Imagine that, and for fun, why not a small back-story on them and their society?
Golden years of Greece
Also known as the classical period was around 500 to 300 BC
most of our modern day politics, artistic thought, such as architecture, scientific thought, literature, and philosophy derives from this period
Ancient Egyptian
Rich in history and legends, Create a skin based on the day to day life and culture of ancient Egypt.
World Leaders & Historical Figures
The scientists, inventors, political figures, or other greatly influential people who have made a significant impact on shaping the world we live in. Depict a real historical figure from anywhere in the world, at any time. Be sure to keep it historically accurate!
This poll with run for a week and will end the 9th of this month.
We encourage you to vote even if you're not planning on participating in the contest this month and to choose the theme you think will encourage the best and most creative skins.
If there's a theme that we don't have listed above that you think would be great for one of our contests feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

Ancient Egyptian fosho!
1
and me too
1
Futuristic Industrial Revolution works for me !
1
World leaders would be good, but it would result in way too many American presidents and Adolf Hitlers, like the circus contest with clowns.
1
Probably. I'm pretty sure Hitler is a banned character on the site though, so there'd be lots of skins to delete.
1
I have some more ideas for future skin contests,if you'd like to hear them :3
1
World Leaders

Hope
World Leaders & Historical Figures gets picked -snip-

Roaring Twenties because flapper girls have always been really interesting imo
1
What happens if its a tie
1
Historic People.
1
Finally, a theme is distancing itself from the others
1
Greece is awesome, so I give my vote to the Golden Years of Greece
1
why dont you make a contest the name is 7 wonders of nature project
1
I see a lot of people are voting Industrial Revolution... I think that it would be a bad idea as we have already had a Industrial Revolution in the project section and it would undermine the skin community as just piggy backing on others. It DESERVES it's own contest!!!
Anyway, I am casting my vote for World Leaders & Historical Figures! Now that, is something new and unique!

A lot of times they have build contests and skin contests. They go together, they don't subtract from each other

Last summer, we had both an Above the Clouds skin contest and a Head into the Clouds build contest.

Surprisingly this poll has been fairly close so far, usually one or two pull ahead by the point.
1
By Christmas, I want to be wearing a flapper dress, heels, and have my hair curled. I'll be playing jazz as I build my new base on some server.
This is my hope.
This is my hope.

1
I personally like Futuristic Industrial Revolution.
1
^^^
1
As,long as it's skins idc ^3^
1
Why are lots of people voting for the Roaring Twenties? There is nothing interesting or fun to make from that. Let's go World leaders & Historic figures instead!
1
Ancient Egyptian, since there is a majority of gods and I want to see how things go, hopefully there wont be too many anubis's
1
TastycatFuturistic Industrial Revolution.
1
I switched my vote to "Futuristic Industrial Revolution" just because i'd rather make a skin from that. I have a good idea for most of the popular ideas, except for Roaring Twenties (plz dun win)
1
In the Jungle!!!!!
1
I switched to Ancient Egyptian mainly because there is a vast array of gods to choose from and the colours could be quite excellent!
1
Lots and lots of gods
