Welcome to the Forza Motorsport 7 “Halloween Bash”!
You may enter both the Halloween Bash and the Weekly Livery contests with the same livery which will be running at the same time as the Bash. (HINT: The concurrent Weekly Livery Contest will have a Halloween theme that week. Here is your chance to get prepared.)
The Halloween Bash is open to all skill levels. The key is that you participate.
*Please read the rules.
Please make sure your post follows the Rules of the Contest.
Prizes
Special Halloween Bash car painted by “Little Vixen” to celebrate the Halloween Bash – Qualified participants will receive the car which means you need to be sure you follow the rules and have your entry up by the correct date.
If you don’t provide your correct GT and the requested information, and share your entry in game, you may be disqualified. If you change your GT after you have posted your entry, and you have not clearly informed me via the Halloween Bash thread, you may very well not receive your gift car or other prize.
Additional prize to be determined, but you will get something in addition to the liveried car.
You may participate with a spooky photo, Halloween themed layer group, or Halloween themed livery. Tunes are appreciated, and you may post them here for others to look up, but only the above listed items will be eligible for featuring on the Halloween weekend. We will try to feature as many liveries, photos, and layer groups as possible for the weekend, but this rather depends on how many qualifying entries we have. If you have been reluctant to enter an official weekly contest, here is another chance to possibly get featured in the game.
Rules of the Bash
o The theme is Halloween and the livery, photo, or layer group should be of some Halloween nature. This might be a spooky photo, an orange and black themed livery, or something more elaborate. Please try to fit entries into the spirit of the event, or you may be disqualified.
o Entrants can enter both the Halloween Bash and the regular Weekly livery contest or Photo Contest with the same entry. Entering one doesn’t exclude the other.
o The design or photo must belong to you and be your creation. Posting someone else’s work is not allowed!
o The Halloween Bash is a place to encourage participation and fun. Be respectful of this please. If you want your paint to compete in the painting or photo contest then you can still enter your livery into the weekly livery contest.
o When posting here include your Gamer Tag, the car you painted your design on (if applicable), the type of entry it is such as a Livery, Photo or Layer Group, and the filename of your item. This is not just for me to make sure you are properly entered for the event, but also so that other players can find you and hopefully download your content.
o Entry Post Example:
Forza Player GT
2009 Ford Focus (if applicable)
Livery (or Photo, or Layer Group)
Add Bash2017 to the description of your item when shared.
o You must “Share” your paint/layer group/photo IN GAME. You must put Bash2017 in the description of your livery when you share your design. (All one word for the description). If you do not add the description to your entry, it is likely we will not see it when we search for it. When you press “share” on your design, the description goes in the section marked “description”. You will need to type it in.
o Please share your photos of your liveries, photos, or layer groups in this thread. It will give other people an idea of what you will have shared and they might want to pick it up for their car. This is also why it is important that you include your Gamer Tag, your file name, and the make and model of the car so people have enough information about how to find your shared creation.
o We will feature as many qualifying entries as we can. This will depend on the number of entries.
o Any entries which contain inappropriate content may be disqualified. Please follow the Xbox Live rules for posting content.
Unlike the other contests, in order to be part of the Bash, you must post with the correct information in this thread and in-game. We have to be able to find your entry to be able to feature your creation for the weekend and other forum members also need to be able to find your creation with the information you provide. You must also share your livery/photo/or layer group in game to be considered as a Halloween Bash participant.
All entries must be shared by October 27th, 2017 if you want to have the chance to be featured (edited due to extended deadline) . Selected entries will be featured until October 31st.
Deadline to Qualify for the Gifts - October 31st, 2017. (Deadline Extended)
We want to be able to feature your designs, so all entries must be in by the above date. All entries will not be featured, but we will try to feature as many as we can. Even if your entry is not featured, you can still receive the prizes for participating if you have not been otherwise disqualified.
Thank you and welcome to the party!
ADDITIONAL BASH NOTES:
o If you have a tune to share, you may also post it in this thread. I am sure people would welcome being able to add a tune to their liveried cars, however, only a livery, photo, or layer group will be considered for the prize car or in-game featuring.
o You may discuss the Bash in this thread. It is supposed to be a good time on the forums, so let’s have some fun!
Important Bash Update!
I am extending the Bash deadline to October 31st to let more people join in the fun since I have finally added the actual prize package. I want to let more of you have an opportunity to participate. I will, however, start getting items featured on the promised Friday date so that you can get in some downloads. People who get entries in after the 27th are less likely to get featured but can still qualify for the gifts.
Gift Package for Joining the Halloween Bash (You do need to follow the rules or you may not qualify.)
FOUR Liveried Cars in FM7:
- 2013 Ford-Shelby-GT500- Snake Charmer Livery – New Livery for the Halloween Bash
- 2009 Ford-Focus-RS – Forza Cat Livery – Exclusive Event Car (You can get it here first!)
- 2016 Lamborghini-Aventador-LP750-4-SV – Ravenous Livery
- 2016 Dodge-Viper-ACR- Sugar Cat Livery
FM7 Legendary Driver’s Suit: Clown
Yes, you can get your hands on the creepy Clown suit to go with the Snake Charmer Vintage themed circus poster livery.
Why do you get such a nice package this year? Three Reasons:
- You are great folks and it makes me so proud to see so many of you return year after year to help me make this project a success. It also thrills me to see people who may have never touched the paint editor give it a try.
- I have not been public about this, but I lost my darling Hubby to cancer. He was always my biggest support with my painting and putting on these types of events for all of you. I wanted to celebrate the incredible life that was Abner Ray Jay and do something special this year to honor him.
- I have lost track a bit, but this has got to be around 9 or 10 years of the Halloween Bash. At any rate, it has been a LONG time Forza Event. Celebrate! In the spirit of this, you may notice that several of the liveries are a trip down memory lane from Halloween Bashes past. I do have a new livery, though, as is the tradition! Enjoy!
Thank you again all of you who have been such good sports about keeping this event fun, treating each other with kindness in this event, and coming back year after year to make this event worth doing.
Thank you,
LV
