So I was looking back and I realized that there really hasn't been a lot of these types of contests lately, and that made me sad! For all you crafty and photo-friendly users out there, your event prayers have been heard, and I am here to deliver! There are a couple different categories so find one, or all!, that suits you and get to work! You can enter up to TWO TIMES for each contest! You got that? TWO ENTRIES ALLOWED FOR EACH CONTEST! The entries will be accepted until the end of the event, so don't hesitate!
CONCERNING ALL ENTRIES
-> You will need to prove that you made the craft/took the photo, so you MUST include your user name, handwritten in the photo. It can not be edited in and it will not be accepted if it is. <-
-> Entries should be made specifically by you for this specific holiday season. It is preferable if it's not used in other craft contests for this event AND please do not submit something you submitted in any previous Menewshan Event. That's just tacky <-
-> You can edit your entry until it's updated to the front, and don't worry, I'll take me time.<-
And of course, you will be rewarded for your efforts in each contest.
Prizes:
First: Both contribution items for December + 4,000 gold + full set of FoWN 2017 event rares
Second: 4,000 gold + full set of FoWN 2017 event rares
Third: Full set of FoWN 2017 event rares
Find a Recruit!
OH! And I added a new element to this contest! The number of entrants are usually, and sadly, somewhat low, so if you can recruit fellow users to participate there will be something in it for you! 100 gold a pop! Make sure the person you recruit adds your username to their entry so you can get the credit and the reward!

Sculptures
To sculpt is to ["create or represent (something) by carving, casting, or other shaping techniques".]
The sculpture category is for any craft that can be built or crafted into a... well, you guessed it, a sculpture described by the definition above. Many things fit into this category. Some fun ideas could be snowmen or anything else sculpted with snow, or if you don't have snow sculpt a sand castle. Use a more traditional medium like clay, you could use mud, edibles, paper mache, knit or crochet a plushie, I dunno, there are so many possibilities. If you can sculpt it, I'll probably accept it.
There is a theme though, it has to be either holiday or event related, so keep that in mind!

Snowy Scenes
Firstly and most importantly, I've been watching a lot of Bob Ross lately, and let me tell ya, that man knows how to make a landscape, which is the inspiration for this idea!
Next, you should know that this particular contest is broken into two separate contests. Overall and for both, I want you to depict a snowy scene. I know this can get a bit redundant seeing as snow is "just one color" (but is it really though?!) anyways, be creative, think outside the box here and throw in an element of surprise, whatever it is, I just want to be wowed!
Part 1: For this category, you can accomplish the task by taking a real photo of a snowy scene out your window, a snowy mountain, on a walk or wherever. Don't have snow? Well, as an added bit of fun, you are allowed to do some photo shopping and editing to your image to help enhance your photo. That is how you could make it more interesting too by the way!
Oh yea, I do not want an entire photo digitally created and please include a link to the original image!

Part 2: This category, while having the same Snowy Scene theme, allows for more creativity. Fabricate your own scene by painting a picture, make a snow globe or terrarium, use digital art, draw a picture, use the paint program on windows, pixel art it up, whatever medium you prefer, use your artistic abilities to show me a snowy scene.

A few words on my submission;
Here is my submission, which I have called "a fisherman's christmas", I live on the south west coast of the UK, surrounded by harbours and small fishing villages. I took this photo while beach combing on a near by estuary at low tide. I wanted to capture a winters day through my eyes, as due to the salt air from the sea, we don't have snow. I wanted to capture a beacon in the distance as you can see, as to me it looks like a christmas tree! I also love that a fisherman has decorated his boat with a tree too! As I don't have any photo editing skill or experience, I have used natural techniques to create this image, I made sure to position myself to create silhouttes in the foreground which I feel deepens and lengthens the image. I hope you enjoy my simple entry!
Please take the below image as proof I took the photo.

I made this snowman centre piece completely from scratch and with only recycled items. For example the buttons are pennies I painted, the arms are painted straws, and the hat is a toliet roll and scrap cardboard!

Here's a zoomed out one! I realised I cut off the hat in the last picture!

I had to borrow a phone to take this so the quality isn't so great. (Mine is officially dead. RIP phone.) All that weird green and yellow stuff at the top is just my scrap board so I had something to put my username on without covering up the painting.

Design a Spread
This time of year really promotes decorating, I mean some houses really go overboard... but it just so happens that I really love a good spread. A lot of people decorate fireplaces, tabletops, dining rooms, living rooms, trees, menorahs, or anything else, whatever and wherever. So show me how you decorate for the season! Remember that this is more of an interior design theme, so get decorating!
->Because you have to take a photo of your interior design, this contest also has a photography element and there will be a prize rewarded for particularly eye catching photos taken too, so make it count! <-

ALL THE CRAFTS!
This category is pretty much a catch all for all the other things that you users have crafted this holiday season, as this is the best season for making things! Can you knit a hat? Cross stitch? Make a gingerbread house? An ornament? A winter dress for your cat, I dunno, but for all the other things you made, either as gifts for someone else or yourself, do enter!

I think one of the best things about the holidays or winter is hot chocolate. Therefore, I have immortalised it in a hand sculpted candle, scented with vanilla, chocolate and winter spice. I gave this as a gift to my mum!

Shadami: so you made the snowglobe for this event right now? is it just an outline of a snow globe? if it is, then sure, you can fill it in for one of the categories, that's fine.
