![[CONTESTS] MEAT WEEK CHALLENGE NO.2](http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/meatweek-post-art2-2011.jpg "[CONTESTS] MEAT WEEK CHALLENGE NO.2")
Yep I know, Meat Week has been quite a bit longer than a week! Mainly this is due to me being distracted by several other side things going on… but hey, I planned three meaty challenges and by gosh we’re gonna do them!
So now for challenge #2, you the Halolz community, are tasked with making your best Super Meat Boy themed submission!
Really for this one anything goes creatively, but for those of you who just need something basic to caption, I’ve provided two premade advice templates that you can caption yourself! And if you need help adding captions you can use sites like roflbot (although be sure to switch watermarking off!) or you can just type up your caption and send it in, and if it’s good enough we’ll put it together for you! Otherwise anything goes, and the best three chosen by myself will receive a pack of Meat Boy prizes!
Also for this contest, your meat boy themed submissions should be sent to contests[at]halolz.com! You have until Friday to get your submissions in, and we’ll choose winners on Monday! Good luck!

Okay, first up in our Meat Week challenges… we’ve got eight copies of Super Meat Boy to give away! (Four for Xbox 360 and four for PC through Steam). If you haven’t picked up Super Meat Boy yet, now is the perfect time to win yourself a free copy!
So how do you win? Well this challenge is actually quite easy… we’ll be giving them away randomly to members who “like” the Halolz Fan Page and the Level Up Studios Fan Page on Facebook! (Four on Halolz and four on Level Up). However the catch is, you also have to share this post on Facebook by clicking the blue share button in the bottom right corner of this post!
The sharing part may seem tedious, but it will actually mean that your odds of winning are way higher since you won’t have to compete with all 9,400+ Halolz fans on Facebook! (Speaking of which, isn’t it crazy the site has almost 10,000 fans on Facebook?)
Anyway, that’s all you have to do! You have 48 hours starting now to enter! Good luck! And be sure to MEAT the requirements!
—-
Our winners have been chosen! Congratulations to Stephanie T, Robby G, Michael M, George E, Mike T, Jimmy B, Jonathan L and Becca K!

Are you a fan of Super Meat Boy? I imagine you are if you like games enough to read this site everyday! However on the off chance that you’ve been living under a rock, Super Meat Boy was one of 2010’s hottest indie games to invade the 360 and PC last summer!
And now, with their release of over 80 new FREE DLC levels on Xbox (soon on PC) we’re celebrating MEAT WEEK here on Halolz, so the few that missed out on this awesomely difficult platformer will have a chance to win some MEATY PRIZES!
Of course that doesn’t mean you have to wait to pick up a copy of the game on Xbox Live or Steam! In fact you should do so right now!
Either way, stay tuned this week for some meat-tacular stuff!

Just wanted to thank everyone again for the great pumpkins sent in this year! We’re really impressed with the stuff you guys send in, and the fact that each year we get more submissions really tells me this is a fun event and it’s worth doing! Also it makes me look forward to seeing what you guys come up with next year!
With that in mind, we’ve decided to give out a participation prize to everyone who entered this year! It’s a new piece of merch we’ve been working on, and it’s not finished yet, but we’ll send one out to you as soon as we have them!
So whether you were a winner or just a participant, be sure to send some shipping information to the halolzween[at]halolz.com email and we’ll be sending some Ninja-Bot prizes your way!
Also thanks again to our guest judges this year Alyssa, Scott and Hawk for helping me pick winners this year! It’s certainly not getting any easier!
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

And finally our grand prize for most creative pumpkin goes to Nick Everson for his Halo: Reach Haunted Helmet! Not only is it a great design, but it looks awesome when it’s on fire! I guess that particular haunted helmet belongs to someone at Bungie?
Our runners-up prizes for most creative go to Nick and Molly for their uniquely lit Pacman and Ghosts, and Daniel Potvin for The Original Ghost Pump-kemon that features everyone’s three favorite original ghost Pokémon (and a creatively painted Pokeball!) Well done, and congrats again to everyone for making this a fantastic 3rd Halloween carving contest!

Our grand prize for most humorous pumpkin goes to ChimpoDelFuego for “The Orange Spy” (possibly one of the simplest winning designs we’ve ever seen!) and I was told we would be carving pumpkin!, a pumpkinized version of Gentleman Heavy (complete with top hat and monocle!)
Our humorous runners-up include GengarKing’s PumpKoffin’ (a Koffing with an awesome face is good, but adding a “poison gas attack” makes it great!), and suicid3clutch’s Old Snake takes out an Enemy Soldier for it’s stealthy kill pose! Congrats guys!

Our grand prize for most detailed pumpkin goes to ceemdee with a four-way tie between four of his many amazing pumpkins! The four pumpkins that received the top votes were Creeper, Day of the Tentacle, Homeworld and DeathSpank. The judges were unanimous in that all their top picks for most detailed were pumpkins by ceemdee!
Picking up runner-up prizes are GLaDOS Cake Core and Curiosity Core by LadyFiede (talk about detailed… they’re right up there with that Portal Sentry Pumpkin!) and No King Rules Forever by Artais! Great job guys!
