Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble. (Shakespeare, Macbeth)

It's that time of year, when goblins, ghosts and ghouls are the norm, and its okay to dress up in even the weirdest garb, because it's your costume. Even adults can enjoy Halloween and feel young at heart.

We would like member’s to really use their imagination! This means, not your typical witch with a pointy hat, a broom and a black cat. Think outside the box. If you're going to make a witch, what could you do to make that witch really break out of her stereotype, but still be a witch?

This will be the 21st Official AA contest, and the third Halloween Contest in AA history. (Can you tell we like Halloween around here?)

The rules are as follows.

•Focus of the picture must be a person, which may be either male, or female. Group images allowed, but there should be a main focus to your image.
•Both CG and Non-CG works are accepted.
•Fan-art will not be allowed.
•The awards will be announced at the end of the contest.
•All art must be original and done by the member who uploads it. Stealing will NOT be tolerated.

Any questions? Ask away!

The gallery will be up soon.

Fanart would include characters that are licensed by someone else. Such as, if you drew Rei Ayanami in a dinosaur costume, or something of that nature.

Your own original characters are fine. Just no art of characters that don't belong to you.

We don't need to see a "permission slip", but you do need to make sure that you have your parents' permission to participate.

i'll have to wait a few days for my imagination to create a good costume.
