It's time once again to decide what our theme should be for this upcoming contest.

Before you vote be sure to read the short description of each of the categories posted below, and vote for the one that appeals to you the most, not just the one that you think will win.

Ancient Egyptian
Rich in history and legends, Create a skin based on the day to day life and culture of ancient Egypt.

Elizabethan
Ruffs, frills, wigs, feathers, leggings, stockings..
The Elizabethan Era spanned the length of Queen Elizabeth I's of England's reign from 1558 to 1603. The period marked the start of England becoming a world power, as well as a leading nation in European art, literature, theological study, and philosophy. This period's dress combined a multitude of different countries' styles from the time period, and featured a wide range of color schemes and color symbolism. Time for you to skin this period of English history.

Circus Characters
The circus is filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things from clowns to lion-tamers. Make your skin based on what sort of circus show you'd like to see and explain to us what it was.

The Wild West & Frontier Life
This category includes characters seen during the expansion from civilized areas into the wild and untamed. A time filled with explorers, adventurers, pilgrims, and desperadoes!

Arabic & Middle Eastern
From the ancient Assyrians, to the armies of Persia, to the oil Barons of today, the Middle East has been a powerful cultural force in the world. Show off some colorful characters from the region!

Feudal Japan & East Asian
The rich history of east asian culture extending from the 10th century to the late 18th century, characterized by regional military rule by powerful families.

Norse Mythology
Norse Mythology encompases the legends and myths of the medieval germanic cultures, around the 13th century. We expect entries to depict actual elements from this culture - not Marvel characters!

Golden years of Greece
Also known as the classical period was around 500 to 300 BC
most of our modern day politics, artistic thought, such as architecture, scientific thought, literature, and philosophy derives from this period

Prehistoric
Make a skin based off the period of time before written records existed.

World Leaders & Historical Figures
The scientists, inventors, political figures, or other greatly influential people who have made a significant impact on shaping the world we live in. Depict a real historical figure from anywhere in the world, at any time. Be sure to keep it historically accurate!



This poll with run for a week and will end the 13th of this month.
We encourage you to vote even if you're not planning on participating in the contest this month and to choose the theme you think will encourage the best and most creative skins

If there's a theme that we don't have listed above that you think would be great for one of our contests feel free to submit it here suggest-themes-for-the-pmc-skinning-contests-t302543.html

While the world leaders and historical leaders theme would have been a nice change of pace for PMC skin contests, I think we're going to have some fun with a circus theme.

Wild West!

There's lots of ideas you could go with: cowboy, any farm animal, cyborg meets wild west (like in Doctor Who), bar maid, highwayman, bandit, sheriff, farmer, miner, Indian...

Why is Circus so popular? bleh >_< I hate clowns.

I just remember being little, like maybe 5 years old, and having to spend the night at my aunts house and she had my cousins rooms decorated with clowns. Scariest night of my life.

I voted for the circus characters, because I don't hink the historical world leaders and so are as interesting, if you could however, make your own original world leader it would be quite interesting as a theme!

The themes are a bit narrow. At least 30 people will make the same thing if "Circus Characters", "Ancient Egyptian", "Feudal Japan and East Asian" or "Norse Mythology" wins. My vote goes for "World Leaders & Historical Figures", the least narrow theme of them all.

Elizabethan, because it seems the easiest to be creative with.
How are you meant to decide if a skin fits the 'World Leaders' theme? How famous they were?

Not a fan of these but I'm going for Circus characters, because Historical Figures/ World Leaders just seems like it would be hard to come up with anything creative, since they already existed. Unless you like, made up a fictional world and made up a leader for that? I dunno just my opinion.
