It’s almost October, which means thoughts turn to costumes. Project Rooftop announces its second annual “Fights, Flights, & Tights” contest. Their twist, based on their site’s purpose, is to come up with (and wear!) “a cool, original costume that redesigns a classic superhero or villain”.

Send your photos to tights@projectrooftop.com along with your name, age, and website (if any) by October 21. (My birthday!) First prize winner gets their costume version drawn by the very talented Dean Trippe. Here’s some cool pictures from last year. I like the creativity involved — it’s not just mimicking comic art (which sometimes is darn near impossible), but bringing your own twist to a favorite character.
