St. Patrick's Day Dress Up Contest - with a twist

[A New Dawn]

[c]St. Patrick's Day dress up contest with a twist!

I'm sure you are all wondering what that means - well, beings as there are two major groups of Christians in Ireland, generally that means that each wears something different. Traditionally, the Catholics wore green and the Protestants wore orange. So, that is what I'd like to do. Have a contest where you can dress your character as a Catholic or a Protestant. You can enter twice, once in each category. Each category will be judged independently. (That means two sets of winners!) Here are some examples of how each entry might look.

Protestant ............................................ Catholic

Entry prize of 1,000,000 blessings to each contestant (only one entry prize).

Prizes:
First Place: 500,000,000 blessings
Second Place: 250,000,000 blessings
Third Place: 100,000,000 blessings
Fourth place: 75,000,000 blessings

Entry deadline will be March 15, 2012 at Midnight EDT.

I have another concept to dressing up on old St. Patty's Day ..... if your in a whimsical daydreaming mood, dress up like a leprechuan or fairy. If in a cranky, mad at the world mood, dress up like an IRA militant, with submachine gun shaped like a shamrock. Either way, you'll get a lot of attention.

 

[Philothei]

I will change to the Protestant look now...but did you take the shot for this one? And thanks Apache 1 for the interesting idea got to see what I can come up with
