The Competition[edit | edit source]

What exactly IS The Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball? To put it simply it is a festival of frivolity and bad taste, highlighting all those fine, fine contributions we never want to see featured.

Who can enter?[edit | edit source]

Anyone and everyone. Participants may judge and/or participate in different categories but never judge and participate in the same category. Collaborations are allowed in each category but only one entry will be allowed (one single combined entry for all users in the collaboration).

How does it work?[edit | edit source]

Write an article or make an image and cross your fingers that the judges find it grotesquely delightful.

Do pieces entered in the competition have to be NEW and ORIGINAL?[edit | edit source]

YES!

Works must be original and created after the contest's official start date. This is pretty obvious but in case you've had a bout of temporary mental redartation...we thought we'd spell it out loud and clear. No pee reviews. Image request allowed only for articles...not for your image entries (for temporary retards).

When is the competition held?[edit | edit source]

Writing starts NOVEMBER 26 00:01 GMT (6pm november 25 New York Time) and lasts for two weeks ending on NOVEMBER 26th. All entries will be locked for judgery on Thanks Giving Day in the US DECEMBER 10th at 23:59 GMT (6pm december 10).

Judgery will last for a week thereafter. All winners will be announced a week later.

Judging will be here.

The Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball[edit | edit source]

The Aristocrats is often lauded as the world's dirtiest joke. But to seasoned purveyors of this joke, it is an opportunity to make the bizarre, grotesque and immoral become a platform for insane hilarity. As we enter this season of blessings-counts and humble pie, this platform seems all-too-perfect for the sick and twisted minds of Uncyclopedia. A beautiful expression of the first amendment in all her Norman Rockwellian glory.

Bad taste article[edit | edit source]

see complete rules

For articles of inappropriate or offensive subject matter, those deemed to be of "bad taste". Drawing upon many timeless classics, from the gentle subtleties of Holocaust Tycoon, the sensitivity of The Diary of Anne Frank or the information packed knowledge-base that is Anal Glands, this is your chance to join a select genre of quality humour.

The Master Goa Tse Award for Digital Imagery[edit | edit source]

QUALITY images only please!

CONCEPT:

This category is designed to highlight images that, although are painfully funny, inspire the viewer with the desire to spork out their eyes due to guilt and self loathing at finding them amusing. As with the other categories this is NOT about shock or gore images, it is primarily about well crafted imagery that may just happen to press the wrong buttons.
