📸 CALL FOR ENTRIES! From flirty and fun to dark, eerie, and gory or just downright campy, Richmond's ZOMBIE PIN-UP CONTEST celebrates zombie-inspired pin-up looks in all their forms.

Grab your favorite photographer and makeup artist (or do it all yourself), get delightfully dolled-up in decay, and submit your best undead pin-up shots for a chance to be crowned among Richmond’s top Zombie Pin-Ups — and potentially be featured in a future Zombie Pin-Up Calendar!

The undead come in all forms — every size, shape, gender, identity, and background is welcome to participate — as long as they are 18 years of age or older at the time the photos are taken!

Whether you’re stepping in front of the camera for the very first time, a seasoned model, or a photographer looking for a unique project, consider this your invitation to embrace the undead with style, attitude, and playful energy – with Richmond's ZOMBIE PIN-UP CONTEST!
