Greetings!

The Delosian Tailors Union is sponsoring a costume design contest for
this upcoming Mayaween, open to all tailors and non-tailors alike.

Prizes
------
Tier 1 prize: A permanent and resetting costume of the winning entry,
and the costume stocked for sale at the Festivities Annex in New
Thera. Multiple people may win the Tier 1 prize.
Tier 2 prize: ONE of the winning entries from Tier 1 will win the Tier
2 prize. If the winner is NOT already a Tailor, he or she will win
a free tailoring license. If the winner is already a Tailor, he or
she will win a crafter's portfolio.

How To Enter
------------
Design a full costume with APPEARANCE, DROPPED, and EXAMINED
descriptions. (See HELP TAILORING for an explanation of these terms, and
see the sample entry below.) You may also include your concept for the
special effects when the costume is donned or removed, but this is not
required and will not be judged. BE SURE TO SIGN THE LETTER WITH YOUR
NAME.

Once you have your letter, put it in the black box at the Delosian
Crafters Union in Delos. You may submit multiple entries, in one letter
or in separate letters.

Sample Entry
------------
Appearance: a Pixie Queen costume
Dropped: Light plays charmingly over a pair of iridescent wings
peeping out from this discarded Pixie Queen costume.
Examined: Light shimmers over the fabric of this gorgeous ensemble. A
periwinkle-blue dress enhanced with dozens of glittering beads make
this costume of the Pixie Queen shimmer and glow. Attached to the
back of the bodice, a pair of iridescent wings flutters charmingly
from an enchantment that has been cast upon it. A gilded crown of
woven leaves sits atop the thicket of curly scarlet silk threads
that has been used to mimic the Queen's lustrous hair. A small wand
that appears to be as fragile as spun sugar grants a touch of regal
authenticity to the costume.

What Not To Submit
------------------
No costumes of the Divine. Do not re-do a costume that already exists.
Check the Festivities Annex in New Thera for costumes currently on sale.

Deadline
--------
Your deadline is 1 Sarapin 580, or until the submissions box is removed
from the Delosian Crafters Union.

Good luck!
