This year's 2D theme is: Ever Watching Eyes

Do you remember in school when you had to do those cutesy 2D artworks for Halloween? One of your friends would draw a jack-o-lantern, another friend would draw a witch's hat, and you would draw a ghost, hoping it would be the best Halloween artwork out of the entire class. You later realize that your artwork wasn't the most popular and you wonder what if I did this or that to it, would my classmates or teacher have liked it more. Later one of your friend's artworks ends up torn on the classroom floor, you're shocked, but happy it's not in competition anymore, but you're scared that someone was feeling the same way you were about their artwork, someone with ever-watching eyes is out there. Make your former classmates and teachers jealous by creating the scariest 2D artwork for this year's Halloween 2D contest. Enter now and become the Halloween artwork rock star you've always wanted to be!
