[h3]Halloween Contests[/h3]

Attention Terrarians, skeletons, ghosts, and other creatures that lurk within this server! Halloween is quickly approaching and we are hosting some special spooky contests this month that could potentially give you a massive boost in Prize Points.

What are Prize Points / Special Prize Points?
Prize Points are used to purchase game codes, signed Terraria merchandise, and server roles from our Prize Merchant Bot! You can view the Prize Points shop in the bot-commands channel by using the shp!viewshop command. Special Prize Points only apply towards the @Zenith and @Ultra Instinct roles.

Terraria Prize Shop
The exclusive Terraria Prize Shop features many incredible prizes including signed t-shirts, hoodies, pins, Steam games, and much more. You can redeem prizes with the prize points earned from events. In addition to these Halloween events there are daily activities in our communities ranging from Trivia to art creation and you can earn prize points from all these activities. Come by the Discord server located at https://discord.gg/terraria to check out this incredible feature.

TERRARIA HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST[/h2]
The first contest will be an in-real life pumpkin carving contest! This is a tradition in the community that has taken place many times over the years, since the first iteration in 2013. Think you got what it takes to enter that hall of fame? Check out the images below for examples of past winners!








How do you enter?
Create a spooky piece of Terraria-related art on a pumpkin, put a candle in it, and photograph it in the dark for the best look!

Please DM your photo submissions to @Submission Bot on our Discord to enter the contest. The first photo should be of the entry by itself, and then send a second photo which has your Discord username on a piece of paper in front of your entry, so we can verify that it is original. Entries without this second image for verification will not be accepted.

The rewards for this contest are as follows:
1st Place: 25,000 Prize Points or 250,000 Special Prize Points
2nd Place: 15,000 Prize Points or 150,000 Special Prize Points
