The nights grow dark and the wind blows cold. The horror of Pixelween is upon us once again!

This year your task will be to create book covers for horror stories! Each week during Pixelween, the weekly challenge will give you a combination of a horror genre and a time period (voted on by the PJ Discord), and you have to create a book cover that matches the combination.

Rules:

To be eligible for the Pixelween prizes, you must submit to at least 2 of the 4 weeklies. As long as at least two of your submissions are on time, you are allowed (but not required) to submit more up until October 27th, the final deadline. Technically having a complete set is not required to win, but it sure helps!

Prizes:

• 1st place will receive a printed Masters of Pixel art book volume of your choice, and a software key.
• 2nd & 3rd place will receive a 25$ steam gift card, a Master of Pixel art e-book, and a software key.
• 4th and 5th place will receive a Master of Pixel art ebook, and a software key.
• 6th - 9th (and possibly more) place will receive a software key, see info below.

All who participate shall earn the rare Pixelween trophy.

How to enter:

To participate, your works need to be submitted to the four Pixel Joint challenges, the first one which starts on the 30th September.

If you've missed out on one of the challenges you can still submit your entry to Pixel Joint, as long as at least 2 of the scenes are posted as part of a weekly challenge within the deadline. While it probably won't be necessary, poking one of the moderators when you post your entry after its challenge deadline is a good idea.
