EDIT; The Deadline has been bumped up to the 7th, 'cause I want to make sure that no one else plans on entering. Since it will be extending past PJ now, please pop over to the regular Menewshan Simmers thread once the event ends. :heart:
Thanks

No fancy banner for this one. :P

Menewshan Simmer is having a contest- Build-a-Phoenix Jubilee! It's quite simple, really. Your goal is to build the Pheonix Jubilee event in Sims 1, 2 or 3, as either a Community or Residential lot. Of course, we do have a few ground rules.

1) One entry per person. You can make multiple lots, but you can only enter one for the contest.
2) Try to keep it original. Original as in, no ripping off other entries.

That looks like about it for rules. Once you have made your entry, please take a screen shot of it- or several, depending on how big it is- and PM the screenshot(s) to me along with the form below.

FINALLY have something worked out for prizes. Sorry for the wait! ;D Once your prize is in your inventory, it's yours to do with as you please.

First Place; May CIs Robes of Healing and Return to Nature
Second Place; Still trawling through my Inventory and my Mules for a suitable prize. ;w; If anyone has a suggestion or offer, though, I'm more than willing to listen.
Third Place; 1 set of Phoenix Jubilee '10 EIs

Best of luck to everyone who enters, and may the best Phoenix Jubilee win!

It's a lot of images, but it's one big lot.
It's a festival, right?
Lots of Menewshans have lots of different tastes...
We can't forget the shops! And places to sit and talk in the art shop forum, too.
A quiet place to think...
A beautiful garden~
And don't forget...
...there's an airship moored above us!
And a close-up of the amenities, karaoke stage, and all those pots of orchids!

All custom items are made by someone that is NOT me. I have so much stuff downloaded...I honestly couldn't make a full list of places to credit. A small sampling would include Juniper Sun and Parsimonious as heavy contributors, but there are no doubt more.

Here's all of it.
Is that an airship? o:
Here's a nice little pond-for the gardeners!
A plaza for everyone to gather in.
Here's the deck. I know-not much there.
Although there's not much on the deck, there is a little radio for some music to dance to!
Here's directly below the deck. This is where the party is!
Here's a closeup of the fountain.
There are tables, chairs, and buffets. It's not a party without lots of food!
There's also a juice bar off to the side.
The lowest level of the ship is just for storage. But it looks a little spooky...

I'm going the way of Sensi and Kaema with my text-links. :lol:
So many photos, I warn thee.
..And I added a few personal touches to the Montour Airship. >>

Before we get started, let's visit Horatio Montour in his office, where he controls the ship.
Welcome to the Viewing Gallery!
A comfy couch by the Gallery stairways.
Daria's roasting...grapes? Out on the Observation Deck.
The Observation Deck and Viewing Gallery at night.
Down below, we have the Dining Room!
Relaxing by the fire~
Iro, chatting with Hamlet and Sizzla.
Across the hall, we have the Lounge!
Checkmate!
Aoi and Sizzla, gettin' their groove on.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the ship, Daria decided to explore. Let's follow her! First stop : The Wine Cellar.
Don't fall in, Daria! D:
Agh, wine stains are IMPOSSIBLE to get out of clothing.
After drying off, she checked the cargo hold...but why does that wall look so strange?
Aha!
..Is the Montour family hiding something? ...Or someone?
Sufficiently creeped out, Daria found Cherry, who was trying to get into the engine room.
Reflective metal, chrome, and glowing radioactive engine fuel? Are the Montours as 'steam-powered' as they claim?
Maybe it's just a random storage area for hazardous materials?
Anyways, onward to the fun contests and such! Let's begin with Cherry and Belly's Hangman and Trivia!
I wouldn't wanna be caught on that noose...
Maybe for all that swag, though~
Shiny buttons and podiums for that authentic Jeopardy feeling.
Cherry and Belly survey the contestant's area from their stage.
We can't forget about Hamlet's art contest!
The entries!
More entries inside the building~
At night!
Onward to Sizzla and Daria's fashionable runway!
Sizzla and Daria, the fashionista duo!
Demonstrating how to do a model-walk, Morgendorfer style.
Work it, girl!
Last but not least, Aoi and Iro's beautiful garden~
Aoi watering her plants.
Iro, picking some delicious, if not fiery, Flame Fruit.
An aerial view of the airship and events below.
And to end the day? Some fireworks over the Menewshan Plaza, of course!

And that's my Phoenix Jubilee~
With a storytelling twist. xD

*scoots in and plops down*
I'm first! 8D;;

Yay? o3o *cuddles*

Aaaah! It burns! :gonk:

D:!

... Oh right. I am flaming. o_o;

Graaah! *rolls in aloe vera*

;w; I'm sorreeeee, Suo! *grabs of aloe gel for you*

*pats out leaves* Its okay T^T

;w; Leaves shouldn't be so flammable. I can't hug you now. D8

At least they weren't dry ones

This looks fun.
Excellent procrastination opportunity.

I'll have to read what this event is all about first XD;

Build a Jubilee Pheoni- WHAT? I apparently zoned out of coherency when I wrote that. o_o *edits*

Suo; That would have been really, really bad. D:

Pearl; Yay for procrastination? XD

lol Yes, but they weren't, so thats a plus

What do you mean by build a Phoenix Jubbily? Like, what we think Mene would look like during PJ?

I dont understand that either

Awesome. I love the sims (:

Lol! I only just now realized this was a thread about the game Sims. ><;;
I was wondering why so much talk of it was going on. *feels stupid now* :x

Exactly like that, Anna. :drool:

Aww~ :< *hugs Suo carefully*

Aaaaah, this is amazing. Sims is one of my ultimate weaknesses. D;

But yeah, I don't understand if it's supposed to be a festival LOT, or we're supposed to have a party on a Jubilee lot?

EDIT - Never mind, I understand now. xD;
/Runs off to build
