Sergeant Knox look-alike contest with rewards

This is a contest to create a Sergeant Knox look-alike. It will begin November 5th 11 AM EST, and end November 10th 11 AM EST. I may cancel the event before the start time if I can find out whether or not foundry allows people to access the character's facial profile or armor, but if I do not cancel by the start time it will not be canceled.
Rewards:
1st place: Ioun Stone of Allure
2nd place: 10 Coffers of Wondrous Augmentation
3rd place: 25x Major Flasks of Potency, 25x Major Flasks of Protection
Contest guidelines:
1. Sergeant Knox look-alikes will be judged solely on facial profile similarity, bodily proportion similarity, and armor similarity, judged at the sole discretion of the contest judge (me). Weapon is not judged and should be removed.
2. Only one picture showing your Sergeant Knox look-alike's facial features, and one picture showing his whole body in armor, is required. Pictures should be taken inside of Protector's Enclave with other players in the background as proof that the Sergeant Knox look-alike was not created in the foundry. Finally the pictures should be posted in this thread between the start and end times of this contest. Additional pictures may be given but please keep them in a link to a gallery uploading site such as www.postimage.org .
3. Any class and race may be chosen, but only male genders, and submissions will only be disqualified if the judge finds a submission to be a very poor look-alike or a fake/prank submission, at his own discretion but with explanation provided, and offender being allowed to create new submissions.
4. Anyone in my guild or friends list is disqualified from entering the contest. Cryptic employees and community moderators are also banned from this event, but because I don't like them.
5. One forum user may only have one submission at any one time. If he wishes to submit a new Sergeant Knox look-alike, he should edit his prior post to remove the image and state that it has been removed. If a forum user submits multiple Sergeant Knox look-alikes, the newest one will be judged and older ones ignored.
6. A maximum of thirty LEGITIMATE submissions will be allowed in the contest, illegitimate submission being those that do not follow the contest guidelines. Once this thirty legitimate submissions limit has been reached, the contest will be ended and the judge will pick the three winners at his own discretion and contact them for @handle information to mail the rewards to.
7. The three winners will be declared on the thread, and the winners will be private messaged for in-game @handle information, which when provided will have rewards sent to them within 24 hours of providing the information because I am actually responsive unlike Cryptic. Winners will have one week after the event ends to provide the @handle information so that rewards can be sent to them. Failure to provide the necessary information within that time-frame will result in the reward being forfeited and given to a new fourth-place winner, to be determined by the judge and announced on the thread.
8. To ensure confidence that the rewards will be given, I am willing to give the three rewards to a famous person in the game whom a large number of people on the forum trust for this purpose. Any guild leaders of a major guild willing to hold the items and distribute after the contest is over, please contact me via this thread or in private message.
9. If this thread is canceled before thirty submissions are received, and I am not allowed to post such threads, it is at the judge's discretion whether or not winners will be chosen from the existing submissions. If thirty legitimate submissions are received and then the thread is canceled, three winners will be chosen by the judge and given their rewards.

Contest guideline #10: Sergeant Knox Eyepatch from event is not allowed in the contest.
Reward items have been given to the guild leader of TSB to hold onto and distribute.
November 5th Update:
Contest begins today.
Additional rewards have been added. The following is the new rewards replacing old:
1st place: Ioun Stone of Allure, 25 Major Flasks of Potency, 25 Major Flasks of Protection
2nd place: 10 Coffers of Wondrous Augmentation and Coalescent Ward
3rd place: 25 Major Flasks of Potency, 25 Major Flasks of Protection, and Coalescent Ward
November 8th Update:
Due to the apparent lack of interest from people, I decided that if by the deadline less than 7 entries are submitted, the contest will be changed and the current rewards will be used for the new contest instead. If this happens, all of the less than 7 legitimate submissions will be compensated with 1 enchanted key OR 2 Wondrous Coffers of Augmentation OR 10 Major Flasks of Protection+10 Major Flasks of Potency, whichever the person prefers.
