How to Enter

Step 1

We want to see what your costumes will look like on a Yoville avatar so the first thing you will need to do is find an avatar to create the outfit for, this can be your own avatar or another avatar found on Yoville.com or in game. Then take a screenshot of that avatar. To take a Screenshot on a PC (Hold down CTRL, ALT, PRTSC) and on a MAC (Hold Down Command and SHIFT 3)

Step 2

Then go to Paint or PhotoShop or any type of image editing program you have installed on your computer and Paste your Screen shot. From here please use the tools provided to edit your image and design your outfit. You may have to crop to remove any unnecessary parts of your screen shot so you only have the avatar to work with. Have fun with it!! Don’t be afraid to use color or get creative! Make sure to save along the way!!

Step 3

Next you are going to have to upload your image to an Image hosting site like Tinypic or Photobucket. If you do not already have an account you will need to create one. Once that you have uploaded your picture to your account your image will be given links and codes for the image. Make sure to Copy the IMG Code provided for your image.

Step 4

Paste your IMG code into the Halloween Costume Design Contest Entry Thread. Any discussions about the contest belongs HERE . Keeping these two threads separate will help us be able to sort through entries when choosing the top entries.

Well folks that’s about all!! Make sure to stick to the rules :) We’ll be announcing the top winners after the contest is completed and will be allowing you to vote as soon as our team chooses our favorites. Then expect to see these costumes in game shortly after! Good luck everyone!
