Guild Wars Halloween art contest is here

It's almost that time of year again for Guild Wars fans — time for pumpkin crowns, squash serums, and Mad King Thorn. Halloween is approaching, and with it comes the fifth annual Guild Wars Halloween art contest.

Entrants are invited to show off their talent by creating a Guild Wars themed Halloween concept. There are no limits or restrictions on what participants can dream up and create — the contest information suggests everything from creating a costume to decorating your house to baking a cake. As long as there is a Guild Wars theme, anything goes.

Twenty winners will be chosen from all entries. All twenty will receive a Mad King's Guard mini pet (this event marks the introduction of this brand new miniature). The top ten will receive a signed art print from PAX 2008 as well, and the top three will also be awarded the Guild Wars 2 art book, signed by members of the GW2 development team.

The deadline is 12:00 Noon PDT, October 23 — good luck to all!
