We would surely hate to be the judges at <a href="http://www.arena.net">ArenaNet</a> during a recent <a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/halloween2008/rules.php">Halloween contest</a>. Why? Because the entries are all so amazing! In this fourth annual Halloween contest that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/06/guild-wars-halloween-art-contest-announced/">we first mentioned last month</a>, <a href="http://www.guildwars.com"><em>Guild Wars</em></a> players and fans submitted their most creative concepts and designs that somehow related the <em>Guild Wars</em> universe with Halloween.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/halloween2008/">Ten winners were ultimately chosen</a>, with one grand prize (shown above). There were also ten honorable mentions and twenty finalists in total. It's contests like this that truly bring out the amazing creativity in gamers, not just for <em>Guild Wars</em>, but across all games and genres. It's good to see when game studios promote and reward such creativity.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/05/the-creative-ingenuity-of-guild-wars-fans/">The creative ingenuity of Guild Wars fans</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:00:00 EST.
