CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE CONTEST!

There are three ways to enter the contest. You can make yourself up to look like zombie, snap a pic and submit that, or if you're a little camera shy you can submit an illustration of what you'd look like as a zombie. Finally, if your both camera shy and aren't quite the Picasso some members are, you can always submit an essay describing to us what you'd look like if you were a zombie (in 200 words or less).
