    Like many of you, all I wanted to be when I grew up was a hatter. The careful crafting of the brim. The fine finishing on the interior.Alas! Like many childhood fantasies, very few of us got to be the hatters we always dreamed of becoming. But someone at ArenaNet is giving you a second chance this Wintersday.Wintersday in Guild Wars is a twisted cross between Christmas, PvP, lots & lots of snow, hats, and a PvP arena in which you slay your opponents with snowballs. No, really.The GW art team are going to use a fan-created concept for their design of the Grenth Wintersday helm, and they want your designs. There's assorted hardware & in-game prizes for the winners, in addition to whoever gets to be immortalized as a GW hatter of legend.The deadline for entry is Monday 19th of November, and the GW team have a history of doing this kind of thing so your hat will be in good hands. Now then, how to tie a Clockwork Orange bowler hat into a Grenth & Wintersday theme?
