June Challenge Winner

The votes closed last night, and with a clear majority of the many votes, the winner for the month of July is Killia Verenelle for this amazing Peter Pan and Captain Hook shot! It’s been a while, but this scene looks like it could have come straight out of Hook which was definitely a summer blockbuster from my childhood.

Congratulations, and please watch this space for the July challenge in a few days!

Also: In less than a week, we will be announcing our next long for screenshot cycle!

June 2021 Challenge

The challenge for June this year is going to be a perfect start to kick off the hottest months of the year – Summer Blockbuster!

“When I think of a long, hot summer, I imagine going to see the latest blockbuster in a cool, air-conditioned theater with warm, buttered popcorn and a cold beverage. Bring your favorite blockbuster to life in your screenshot but also include a quote to go with it.”

For this challenge, include the screenshot as well as a movie quote that inspired the screenshot, alongside your character name. Send this in a DM to Host Katarh via the ENTM Discord channel. The voting form will include the movie caption.

Entries for this challenge will be accepted until 11:59 PM EDT on Friday June 25th.

Elessia elected to pay the last two prizes forward, so the prize this month is going to be any outfit from the Mogstation you want.
