Jericho Halloween Contest! Win the game, soundtrack,  and more (9 winners) photo

I'm proud to announce this week's sponsor is the fruit of Codemasters and Clive Barker's labor, the new horror game Jericho arriving next week on the 23rd.  Since Halloween is around the corner, we thought we thought we'd put something in your goodie bag a little early: We're giving away three copies of the game on each platform as well as the soundtrack and other swag to the top three winners -- a total of nine winners! Here's how to steal your free copy:

Contest rules: 

(1) Post a photo of you in your costume holding up a sign that says "Citizen of Jericho" (preferably something scary, but any silly costume is fine).  If you can pull off a Jericho cosplay, your odds of winning obviously go up.  Some screen shots of the various characters are attached in the gallery below. Who needs working eyeballs, anyway? Go all out! 

(2) Please specify your platform of choice and a backup choice (Choose from: PS3, Xbox 360, or Games for Windows) .  The contest ends on October 31, so be sure to post your entry before you go out trick or treating.

Prizes:

My favorite three entries will win a copy of the game and the soundtrack. Six winners will be selected at random.

Other ways to win: 

Not planning on dressing up this year?  You can also participate as a "standby entry" by posting a found photo of a carved video-game related pumpkin.  If we can't contact the winners of the costume contest, one of the pumpkin comments will be selected at random instead.  You can post as many costume entries and pumpkins as you'd like but you can only win once. 

Good luck!

Here's my attempt at a Jericho cosplay. If you choose me I'd really like the 360 version as my first choice, and PS3 as my second. =)

Thanks Destructoid for holding this rockin' contest!

I figure that the King is the scariest sh*t out there, so this is my best shot. my choice would be Games for Windows, backup is Xbox360.

Well, ok, I was too last minute making my mask to remember to make the sign, but I think this makes up for it!

An Xbox copy would be...groovy. But if it can't be done, a Games for Windows copy should do. <br>Now, lets go down into that cellar and carve ourselves a witch.

Ok, this is the last time I'm gonna attempt this. Photobucket has removed my contest entry twice already. So this is my final attempt. Also I'm cruising on a new account here on Dtoid, I changed my nick because when you google tehArtist some emo fag comes up in the top results from North Carolina on Myspace on the front page, and everybody thinks it's me. None the less...here is my entry hopefully for the last time. As I have said before, I want the 360 Version, I guess backup would be PS3.




It's frightening and disturbing I know.

Can lazy people who never even held up a sign win even if they only photoshopped "citizen of Jericho" in the picture?

Here is my shot at this...

yo!




His apron says "Home Wrecker! Ask me why you got a sandwich"




My costume last year, I attempted to MIMIC Jack Krausser but the beard made people ask me if I was Solid Snake soooo....

See! Curly hair guy is mah friend! Now on to the others!






The following images were taken from my friend's short film zombie movie This past August. I was there but behind the scenes...
















*All photos are owned by my friend and Photoshopped by myself. I'd like the game for 360 please! kthxbai!

directions? hold up a sign that says 'citizen of jericho' ? not photoshop it into the pictures?

ftl.
sirjester's Avatar - Comment posted on 10/30/2007 20:01

I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure the whole point of holding up a PHYSICAL sign in your photo, is so D-Toid knows you're not a dirty little cheater. I'm not saying anyone did, but if you saw someone dressed as Willem Dafoe in drag from Boondock Saints and yelling "THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!!!" with Citizen of jericho PSed over the image, would you believe it? I wouldn't....cause thats a damn good costume.

Wow, I didn't expect these so soon.

I see your point but when this was FIRST posted, look at the comments and what I asked:

BlindsideDork
(# 1) on 10/15/2007 12:45
Can we PhotoShop a sign into the picture?

Also, I have a horror make- up friend, can I have him hold up the sign but also have a separate picture of us together to prove we are friends and use him to win?



And Niero's response:

(# 7) on 10/15/2007 12:54
Photoshopped signs are fine, however it makes it hard to tell original work from found cosplay on the web. We can leave one day after the winners for internet matlockery appeals.



Anything else Matlocks?

i just dont see the point of a photoshopped image, it gives any joe-schmo with photo editing software and google images a chance at winning

not fair, imo.
BlindsideDork's Avatar - Comment posted on 10/30/2007 20:54
BlindsideDork
Haha, wow, suddenly that costume has become so fitting.

Calm down. There are NINE winners and pumpkins are only BACK-UP winners. So even if I was to win one, there is a pretty darn good chance so will you in this contest.

if the costume fit me, i would be a douchebag.

So, I promised a good picture for submission into the contest. After two hours of sitting still while my friend does her makeup and wax thing, here it is. I'm going for a Jericho cosplay, but I'm not sure how well I actually pulled it off.



So, my first choice for platform is 360. Second choice is PC.

Here is my entry, it's a pumpkin that I just finished carving. I don't know if it is video game related, but is definitely nerdy!

I present to you Domo-kin!
