Hello everyone!Welcome to the third official "Create your own Mario Party Board" contest!! If you choose to accept, you will make a board from scratch and complete it from the ground up. Once you are finished, you will send the picture of the board to me (SpiderStaryu) through PM on the forum, and you will explain the board, the Spaces, the story, the special features, etc. Once all the boards are sent in, the judges (Me/Dark Boo/Melvin) will judge the boards privately and announce the winners!
ThemeTheme this time is Halloween! Yes, it's that time of year again! Ghosts are about, Zombies are coming out of their graves, and Vampires are on the loose! To celebrate the spooky nature of this holiday, I want you all to make a board that revolves around Halloween and the events surrounding it! This is such a wide spectrum, so there should be lots of stuff everyone would be able to do with this! Remember now,
The board has to revolve around Halloween.
Why you should participate!What are you participating for?
ACHIEVEMENT POINTS!!! That's right, you'll be getting loads of achievement points if your board's the winner, once all members sign-up, we will get how much the top 3 will get. Just participating in this will get you +10 Achievement points! Not only that, but you will be more experienced on making Mario Party boards, which will help increase the quality of your boards! NOTE: Participating means sending in a board and explaining it! If you don't send in the board, you won't get the Achievement Points.
How to Make a BoardThe easiest way we've found to make a MP board from scratch is
Microsoft PowerPoint, but you can use whatever program you want to make the board. Whether it be drawing, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, Paint; use whatever you want! Just make sure to make it good and have great quality!
How to Upload BoardYou can upload it to a image site like ImageShack, TinyPic, Photobucket, Imgur, or something else. Put image codes around the board's URL link so we can see it:

Board RequirementsWe want you guys to be free and do whatever you want with your board, but there are some rules we want you to follow. These are some basic rules and requirements we want you to do while sending us the board and all the details.
-Board MUST BE Battle Royale (4-Players).
-Board MUST have 8 UNIQUE Spaces.
-Board MUST have a fair size (Like moderate, not too small, but not HUUUUUUGE).
OriginalityDo not use other people's Spaces, Items, Ideas, or anything without permission. If you do, your score will be infracted. There's no reason to use people's stuff without asking them.
What to SendWhen sending the board, we want you to explain EVERYTHING about the board. The further in depth you go, the more we will understand your board, which means a potential higher score for you! We want you to explain the story of the board (if there is one), the Halloween theme you chose, the board, how to play (like what style are you using, Stars/Coins, MiniStars, etc.), the Spaces and what they do, and that's pretty much it! If there's anymore you care to explain, that'll be great too.
What we WILL be judging onSpiderStaryu,
Dark Boo, and
Melvin will be judging your boards. We have lots of experience dealing with MP boards and everything around it, so you guys can trust we will be fair and honest! There's a lot that goes into making a board, it's not just one thing, and bam there it is. You have to put effort and heart into your board, and make sure it looks alive and happening! As long as you put your best possible into the board, that's a good start for success!
