BCA11 Open - 5 entries so far!

WELCOME TO THE ELEVENTH BEST COLLECTION AWARDS FOR NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2009

Entries close 11:59 PM Sunday 20th December 2009 (US Eastern Standard Time)

Enter pics of your Halloween costumes in the Best Star Wars Costume award!

SPECIAL NOTE - The World of Star Wars is closing down. However, the eleventh Best Collection Awards will continue as planned. This contest will be open for entries until 11:59 PM on Sunday the 20th December and there is no change to that date. We will obviously be hosting our competition page elsewhere by then but apart from that everything will continue as planned.

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND US AT http://www.BestCollectionAwards.com/

That URL will point to wherever our contest page is being hosted. More details about where we will be moving to, and when, will be published as soon as they become available. In the meantime, please feel free to continue submitting your great entries! Good luck!

More sponsors, more awards, more prizes - it must be the end-of-year Best Collection Awards! We have made a small change to the entry rules for this contest: your entry pictures must now be uploaded to a public hosting service (like Photobucket, Flickr or ImageShack), or your own server. More details below, in the How To Enter section.

If you do not like the preview (thumbnail) image used for your entry, please e-mail us with your concerns and we will make a new one.

Winners are determined by our panel of expert judges and/or a public vote.

	BEST EWOK COLLECTION Anything and everything related to or displaying Ewoks. Figures, books and comics, posters, and so on, are all good places to start. Most varied and impressive Ewok collection wins! Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-1"
	BEST STAR WARS COSTUME It is nearly time for Halloween, and we want you to show us your best Star Wars costume or outfit, whether it was made for Halloween or not! Costumes can be official or unofficial, purchased or home-made. You are not limited to official LFL-licensed items in this category. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-2"
	BEST RECREATION EPISODE V Use your Star Wars figures, props and vehicles, to recreate a scene from Episode V The Empire Strikes Back (including deleted scenes). Only real scenes that were actually filmed are allowed. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-3"
	BEST CUSTOM FIGURE Figure modders - it is your time to shine! Show us your best custom or customised Star Wars figure, of a known character or one you created. You are not limited to official LFL-licensed items in this category. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-4"
	BEST HOLIDAY SCENE A free-form scene creation contest - use your Star Wars figures, playsets, props, vehicles, etc to create a Star Wars scene with a holiday theme. Dexter Jettster as Santa, for example, or Clones on Christmas Day. You are not limited to official LFL-licensed items in this category. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-5"
	WORST DOOKU FIGURE Recently we have seen awful reproductions of Boba Fett and Luke Skywalker. Now we want to see the worst, most unrealistic and un-lifelike Count Dooku figure. Only official attempts at real figures allowed, so no deliberately super-deformed or Clone Wars figures. Maximum 4 pictures - Picture titles MUST begin with "bca11-6"
