Welcome to PMC's first official skin contest!!
After the contest boom last month, PMC has decided to host official contests with awesome prizes! So I present to you:
The theme of this contest will be anything spooky, scary or just plain weird that is associated with Halloween. For those of you who need clarification, here's a little synopsis thanks to wikipedia:
"Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films."
1. Create Original Characters!
Do not make skins of already existing horror movie/videogame characters such as Freddy Krueger or Jason - make up your own horror villains! However, it's fine to create your own version of generic horror monsters such as Frankenstein's Monster or Dracula.
2. Skins must be new and made for this contest.
No copies, re-posts, or old skins will be accepted. This includes copies of default textures from the minecraft.jar, existing texture packs, or previously existing member submissions, from this site or others, including your own galleries. Give us something new and fresh, please!
3. Skins must be valid, use-able character skins.
This is a contest for player skins only. Please do not submit mob skins, villager skins, or anything but the format expected for the player model. As transparent skins have not worked since minecraft Alpha, make sure that your skins are COMPLETELY filled out. No skins with transparent portions will be accepted.
4. Submit something you made.
Sampling skins is not 'making' a skin. It is copying and applying minor edits. SkinCraft is not 'making' a skin. It is copying from a library of 'parts'. Keep in mind, all the normal rules from the skin submission area still apply. Take your time, start from scratch, and make something completely unique!
5. One entry per person.
Each user will only be permitted to submit one skin for this contest. This doesn't mean you can't make more, but I would suggest submitting only your best one, for obvious reasons. Remember, you can edit your one entry as long as the contest is still running.
6. The contest will run for two weeks.
Post dates must be made after today's date, Oct. 7th. The contest will end about two weeks from today, on Mon, Oct. 24th. Skins submitted after the 24th will not be accepted.
7. Take your time, and make it fun!
Give your skin some character! Give him/her a name, and maybe a backstory. Give them some defining characteristics. Make it unique and awesome! Remember, you have two weeks to do this. You don't need to put something up right away - and even if you chose to, you're allowed to update your submission as many times as you want before the final close date of the 24th.
Submit your skin using the normal upload form. Just check off that it's for the contest.

If you need help or want some tips for making nice skins, see Studnicky's excellent step by step guide: You can find it here.
Halucid, another fantastic skin maker, once recorded the entire process of him making a skin. You can watch the video here.
Between the two of those, perhaps you will get some ideas about how to improve your work. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way, as this is a form of art! These are just two different methods Halucid and Studnicky have used for producing nice results.
StudnickyTwo things I feel need to be said here:
1. Skins that are obvious remixes are not acceptable.
2. Do not rush yourself to get something in immediately. It will not help you to submit anything less than fantastic, so take your time.
Submissions are now listed in their own section of the site. Click here to see them all!
Judges will be encouraged to participate, but will be disqualified from winning prizes.

OKAY. I've gone through from page 39 to now adding skins to the submitted list we are keeping (it's not up yet) and giving feedback to those who were disqualified.
If you have red, bold writing on your skin entry post, your skin has been disqualified.
Please try again, but this time following the rules and guidelines!

Erm, we're not accepting skins with endermen parts because that's not using your own original character. Sorry.

It's a messed up tentacle creature I made up. Not necessarily "scary", but downright creepy. I play Minecraft with this skin and often have the urge to eat zombie flesh...
(WARNING: It is a full body anatomy. Some people are immature about this... For me, Armor = Clothing)

JUST A FRIENDLY UPDATE FOR EVERYONE!
Right now we are compiling a biiiig list of the tons and tons of skins that have been submitted, making sure that ALL of them are there.
Basically...we're making a list, and checkin' it twice.
Once we have that finalized we'll post them all up. For now, with the number of skins we are getting each day, it's hard to just manually update the submitted skin list while they are posted.
Meanwhile, Cyprezz is creating a much easier system that we can use for the rest of this contest and in the future. =)
Your entry HAS been accepted unless you are told otherwise by an edit in your contest entry post itself or in a PM.
Happy skinning, peoples!

View captain Jenkins Zombie (contest)
there is one reason why a zombie is called a zombie, its because of captain Jenkins Zombie.i will give you the short version. Jenkins was in the kings royal army, most trusted man their, one day he was asked to check out an island with his crew.
the arrived there and he took two men into the forest with him while the others set up camp. then his men were killed and he was taken prisoner and tortured beyond belief.the goal of the torture was to make him go crazy which happened, he became hungry for human flesh.
he was sent back to the camp and started to bash crew mates heads in with his fists and eat the men. the he returned to the people who made him this and they performed a ritual, and made him immortal. then they sent him back to land to spread a plague that he had and make them like him. and he is the ultimate immortal zombie. So if you ever see a zombie walking down your street you can blame Jenkins!

Sorry, interesting concept but it's still using two specific characters not created by you. You have to make your own original character for your skin!
