Rules and Prizes
I'm doing things a little different than usual this time, so please read carefully! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and someone will get back to you as soon as they can. :) There is an on-going group contest and a new contest every two days to keep your wardrobe hinges creaking throughout the event! Good luck! General Rules
Specific Rules: Group Contest
Specific Rules: Island Challenges Contests
After the event is over, I will judge each Island Challenge entry according to the following criteria:
Prizes: Group Contest Each member of the winning groups will win the following: ✪ First Prize - 5,000 gold + their choice of any 2014 cash item (Contribution Item or Mennies Item) or another 3,000 gold. ✪ Second Prize - 3,000 gold ✪ Third Prize - 1,000 gold Prizes: Island Challenge ✪ First Prize The three users with the top number of points earned may each choose 1 CI and 1 Mennies item, each with an average price 15k or under on the Marketplace. ✪ Second Prize The three users with the second-most number of earned points may each choose 1 CI or Mennies item with an average price 15k or under on the Marketplace. ✪ Third Prize The three users with the third-most number of earned points may each choose 1 CI or Mennies item from 2014. Don't worry - if there are five people tied for the same number of points, they'll all earn the same level of prize. (For example, if the top earners of points were 12, 11, 10, 10, and 10, then all of them will earn the first prize.) Notes

Recreate the characters from the Nutcracker Suite? A family celebrating Christmas morning? What about a family celebrating Kwanza? Illustrating a popular holiday song?

Island Contest Finale:
Tapio and [Wildcard] I was originally just going to have this a pure "Wildcard" round, but thought you guys might appreciate having another island to play with. Choose one island from the following: Tapio This tropical island is thick with dense, steamy jungles and secret gods that don't like their names spoken. The Tapi people are proud to be wild and in touch with nature. They unabashedly bare skin and rely on plant life as their main form of bodily adornment so they can blend in with the jungle. There are, however, trading ports where cloth clothing is more frequently used. Though supposedly dealings with pirates is against the law, everyone knows pirates will dock there and exchange goods. At the trading ports, their real-world equivalent fashion inspirations would be Polynesian, South-East Asian, and Indian (as in, India) - a lot of colorful sari and sarong type clothing. Requirements: For this entry, you need at least one flower. You will also need something pirates would trade for. (Let me know what your Tapi is selling!) [Wildcard] If you choose to "wildcard" this round, choose one of the previous islands and make an avatar! If you tried a Merkhet avatar, maybe you want to try a Vile avatar for this round. You can even make a second entry for an island you chose the first time around, if you really wanted. (It won't dock you any points, but I will say it'd be more fun to see you take on an island you hadn't done yet!) Please don't forget to say what island you're representing. "Wildcard" won't tell me anything. I'd have to guess. D: And what if I guessed wrong? Requirements: Read the requirements on the round you're going with.

Bonus Round!
This is basically a way for me to get feedback on how I ran the avatar contest this time around. To get the (2) bonus points, you must answer each question. Just to add a note - this will not necessarily be the "new official" way of hosting avatar contests, but future hosts might take notes from how I ran things this time around. Feel free to be honest, even if you didn't like things. (Especially then?) Question One: How many rounds did you participate in this event? Question Two: Did you participate in the Group contest? If not, why? Question Three: Which round(s) were your favorite? Question Four: Did the format of a new contest every few days work for you? What would make it better? Question Five: Anything else you'd like to say about the Avatar Contest? Please fill out this form and post it to the thread to enter the Bonus Round: Code:
