Zombie Valentine Photo Contest

It’s been a long time since ZombiePinups.com did an online photo contest. Years, in fact. BUT! The stars have aligned just right, and it’s time once again for YOU to send us your best Zombie Pinups photos for the Zombie Valentine Photo Contest.

Why “Zombie Valentine”? Not only are we launching it (very) late on Valentine’s Day 2012, but none other than Syfy Face Off‘s Matt Valentine will be judging it!

So here’s the deal: Send your best Zombie Pinups photo(s) to savage@zombiepinups.com with the subject header “BE MY ZOMBIE VALENTINE”; be sure to include the following information:

• The name of the model in the photo
• Your name, if you’re not the model (and if you’re not the model, please include your relationship to the model/photo(s))
• Photographer’s name, if not you
• Make up artist’s name, if not you
• Any other pertinent credits

As ever, we’re looking for that perfect mix of classic pinup style with gruesome zombie makeup. Splashing a little blood on your face and posing in lingerie won’t cut it (and god bless all of you who’ll do that anyway) – the photo that will win will (A) display a classic, Vargas-style pinup aesthetic and (B) top-notch zombie make up effects. Look through the galleries and pay particular attention to the original Zombie Pinups, and those who’ve won the contests we’ve had in the past.

So get to submittin’ – this contest runs from NOW through March 14th, 2012; the winner will be posted on March 19th. Naturally, photos submitted will potentially be posted in the galleries of ZombiePinups.com.

AND WHAT WILL THE WINNER WIN?

Flashback Weekend Zombie Pinups Beauty Pageant 5

The 2011 Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant Winners with host John LaFlamboy

Flashback Weekend, Chad Savage and ZombiePinups.com are pleased to announce the Fifth Annual Flashback Weekend Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant!

On Saturday August 11 (Time TBD) put on your sexiest classic pinup outfit and your most gruesome zombie make up, and compete to win the coveted title of Miss Zombie Queen 2012! The Pageant will be hosted by John LaFlamboy and will be judged by several of our Celebrity Guests (to be named) and awarded fabulous prizes for First, Second & Third Place.

Judging will be based on quality of make up / effects, costume and adherance to the spirit of the classic pinup image. All contestants will be photographed for a special gallery at ZombiePinups.com; winners will, of course, get optimal placement. To get an idea of what we’re looking for, visit the gallery at ZombiePinups.com, and start planning your character NOW!

This event is sponsored by Sinister Visions inc.
