I looked it up, and I know I should know it, but how do you enter an outfit challenge??

The contest themselves come with great directions --

pick you fit, save the images and convert them ( i use imgur typically - no need to sign up and you copy and paste from the three 3dot drop down menu - share and the bb board -- I think that last step is a barrier for some of us)

Oh boy, this one may be beyond my knowledge. lol Thanks for that info though.

style your outfit and use the download button in the editor to save to your computer. Save the front AND the back.
Go to IMGUR (you don't have to create an account), click new post, it's a green button in the upper left hand corner.
Click choose photo or video, go to your downloads files in your computer, choose the ones you just downloaded and upload them one at a time.
After they are uploaded hover your cursor over the upper right hand corner of the photo you just uploaded and there are 3 buttons.
Click them, a menu opens up and you choose get share links.
Choose "get bb code forums" and paste the link up here in the contest thread in a reply. You have to do the front and the back so you will be uploading and getting links for two separate photos.

Then you are done! Good luck.

But isn't she asking how to enter an outfit challenge in the gem event?

not how to enter an avatar contest on the forums? (aka how to post an image on forums after downloading avatar image)

Outfit challenges: You can only do this when the outfit challenge is open for submission, which closes in about 1 hour from now.

1) Click the red gem stone icon
2) Click the icon with the blue shirt and purple chair
3) Today's challenge is called "Cafe Couture", you can read the blurb about what they suggest you do with your look, for instance this challenge has us dressing sophisticated yet effortless for going to a Parisian cafe. Click the long bar to the right (i'm going off memory since I've already submitted mine, and once submitted, you see different things)
4) That should open up a choice of male or female, choose which gender you want to be.
5) Dress your avatar, use the "SWAP" button to choose new wearables to replace the "starter" wearables the avatar comes with. Make sure to add enough items from the theme code required, and if you want a higher score, try to wear enough yc items to fill the "boost" which is that bar that goes up to 0.8 at the bottom. You don't need to fill that boost though, it is just helpful if you can. Wearing 4 layered hairs works to fill that boost.
6) Then there should be buttons that you click to submit, I cannot remember the exact buttons but it should be self explanatory.
7) There will be a window that shows you what your avatar looks like and you can preview it,then click to submit.

Then come back after the deadline and vote for 5 (or more, there is no limit to voting) of your favorite looks.

I hope this is what you're asking for. Good luck!
