It’s almost that time again when we all get our men front and center here in the forums. Next month we will be having our third annual It’s Raining Men contest.
What’s that you say? Are you new to the forums and have no idea what the It’s Raining Men contest is? Well, it is a contest that sprung up in the forums in November 2015. There had been a lot of activity in the forums about the lack of things to buy for those digital men in our lives. The forums were a hot bed of posts and cries for more of everything men. In response to that, the forum mods created a contest to see just how hot those men were and held the contest in the Commons.
They were literally slammed with images celebrating our digital males from November until December when the contest ended. There were a whopping 140 image submissions to the It’s Raining Men contest. The following year, forum members wanted to see the contest happen again and as the mods’ schedules were slammed, I organized last year's It’s Raining Men Again contest and it was held in the Art Studio. We had 98 submissions that year. Yes, it was a drop from the first year but still a wildly popular success we were in a different forum. This year I’m hoping to break a hundred submissions. This year's contest will start November 1, 2017 and end on December 31, 2017.
Why am I bringing this up now? Well, as the thread title indicates, I am looking for prize donations. We could not have pulled off such great contests without the donations that were provided by the mods, the forum members and the vendors for the two previous contests. We had a huge prize package last year and I hope we manage to have an even bigger prize package this year. Let’s continue the trend.
If you’d like to see how much fun we had the last two years you can read these threads:
It’s Not Raining Men (the thread that started it all)
It’s Raining Men Forum Team Challenge (2015 - the first one)
Mod Challenge It’s Raining Men voting thread (2015 - in case you just want to see pictures of all the men)
It’s Raining Men Again (2016 - Contest chatter and submissions in one large thread)
This thread will be closed once the contest starts so we make sure all pictures are submitted to the correct thread. However, I will continue to take donations until the contest ends on December 31, 2017.
Please donate by responding here or PMing me (Knittingmommy) and let me know that you’d like to support the contest so we can make this year’s contest even better. Thank you for your time.

CAUTION: So called "Comedy"
Hm,
it's raining men ?
Wouldn't this contest be a problem related to the rules of these forums?
You know: There're a lot of accessoirs for female, but almost non for men. So what should they wear? And naked is not allowed over here.
Comedy end.
Ah, that's where our Repurposed category comes in handy! Bypass that no nudity clause and dress them in Vicky's clothes.
Thank you for taking the lead again, KM. Put me down for $20 GC in the general prize pool. I have an idea for a side prize, but it need not sidetrack the main event.
@Diomede Thanks. I'll put your prize donation in the list. :)
I'll commit to donate $30 in gift cards this year. (I may be able to add to that. I'll have a better idea when we get closer to the end of the year.)
I'll donate two male character sets to the first place holder and 1 for second and third-any of the male characters except for the Daz Original (Scion) is open for grabs.
Thanks, L'Adair. I'll add it to the list. Just let me know if what the final amount will be if you decide you can add to it later.
@DarwinsMishap Ah, I kind of figured you would be in again but I didn't want to presume. Thanks a lot, sweetie, I appreciate it. I'll add it to my list. {{Hugs}}
I'll offer $30 for the re-purposed category, as long as it is made obvious that it should be a true re-purpose, not just Mike wearing Vickies dress. I still have a chuckle when I think back the the member who repurposed a pair of female panties into a sail for a dinghy.
That's part of the adventure.
That was rather early on in the first annual contest, too. I remember thinking it would be hard to top that. (I didn't even try!)
@Chohole I'll add it to the list and I'll make sure I'm explicit about how that is won. Some people do get really creative with that category. However, I don't think I've seen anything to top that 'panties as a sail' render. I loved that image. :)
As we now have dynamics you are much more likely to see that sort of thing.
Y'all made my day!
I agree with Scorpio that the panty/sail image would have been much better if VWD was available at the time. Similarly, the skirt-to-war-kilt element would also have been much better.
From the first raining men challenge...
Yes, you could have a special prize for the most original "re-purpose" of a female clothing item for use by a male. Note I say use by, doesn't then constrain them to having the male actually wearing it.
Okay everyone, the 3rd Annual It's Raining Men contest is live. You can follow the contest on the following threads:

Thank you, everyone! :)
