The poll voting for the winner is open to the general public and will be ICly available at the White Mask and Song of the Morning.
Entrants will need to purchase a ticket [5000gp] from the Song of the Morning temple , or any of it's faithful upon location. Upon doing so, you will be asked if you wish to enter the costume competition for an additional fee [2500gp]. Should this be accepted, the following template will need to be filled out and PM'd to Peccator. The purpose of this competition is creativity. It is not a popularity contest.

The winner will be announced by name and receive a prize courtesy of sponsors "Mossy's Mercantile".
Ticket sales begin on Sunday the 4th of October. Tickets will NOT be available at the door. Purchases will be cut off 12hrs before the event is to take place. This is to better ensure smooth running and preparation for your enjoyment.
= Entry Template =
Using an example of last year's costume, the template should be filled out as follows:
Character Name: Cecilia Lafayette.
Forum/Game Username: Hidennka/Hidennka.
Costume Portrayal: Angel of Light.
IC Costume Description: A tea-length gown made of rich golden silks that gather upon a single shoulder and clings against the body to waistline. Upon the waist, the fabric bunches once more to flow freely downward to the cut-off length at the knee. Threads are woven in a crosshatch pattern in two colors - dawn yellow and morning gold, accentuated by jewelry of similar make that is worn around the wrist; each one detailed with interweaving vines circling a radiant sun. Attached upon the back at shoulder blade level are two resplendent wings of white hue. Each feather appears to have been painstakingly fixed in place upon wire framing, the latter enchanted to move ever so slightly in realistic motion. Golden sandals are worn upon the feet, the straps of which crisscross their way up one's ankle and along the calf muscle. Finally, the mask worn upon the face is quite plain in comparison; a simple design made of white lace that covers the section from brow to cheek.
