Entry DEAD-line: Feb. 21, 2026
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!
From flirty and fun to dark, eerie, and gory or just downright campy, this 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!
No experience necessary — just creativity, confidence, and a love for all things creepy!

Now calling Richmond, Virginia home, Markster Con – along with DC Creators and AfterDarkRVA.com – is excited to offer this creepy contest to the RVA community in conjunction with the upcoming RVA ZOMBIE BASH on Feb. 27, 2026 – presented by the annual Richmond ZOMBIE WALK (returning Oct. 24, 2026 to Carytown)
