Goldfest 2009 Best Hood Home Challenge Final Judging: Nov 13, 2009 - 00:00 est.
General Contest
Clarification on sign-up dates
( * Jia Li Shen Chi - Nov 12, 2009 - 10:31 )
The deadline to sign up for the tour was November 2. The deadline to sign up for the contest was November 8. Those who did not sign up for the tour do not qualify for the contest.
In other words, your property must be in the Goldfest hood home tour in order to qualify for the contest. Clear as mud? LOL
Clarification on how many entries per persona
( * Jia Li Shen Chi - Nov 12, 2009 - 10:26 )
Apparently, there is some confusion over how many hood homes each persona may enter. Please reread rule #4, which clearly states that:
"Members who intend to have two properties open for display during Goldfest are requested that only one of their properties be entered in the Best 'Hood Home Challenge. Thanks a bunch! *S*
Fantastic work by everyone & entrants!
( * Pohjantähti Karjalainen - Nov 9, 2009 - 12:06 )
Everything looks fantastic! Please use my tavern as entrant page for me since people cannot link to my homepage easily. Velhon Loitsun Tavern. Wonderful pages everyone! :D
The Judges are Getting Organized . . .
( * Heraklia Aelius - Nov 6, 2009 - 16:35 )
Bribes may now be passed out to Anarene, Livia and I - er, what am I saying? Oh, that dream of mine *blush*. Of COURSE you know the integrity of the judges is impeccable and we are solemnly looking forward to judging EVERYONE on the merits.
You can also have a word with me in the back room, just use the password "Jot rocks"!
Thankyou Heralkia,

The banners are by the ever so talented Shibori Muraksaka, using her own design, and incorporating elements supplied by myself and Jia Li. I think it's perfectly splendid and feel Shibori deserves a free AW Life Membership for being so wonderful in helping us out.
I have to admit . . .
( * Heraklia Aelius - Nov 3, 2009 - 21:30 )
the badges are GORGEOUS. If I had the kind of talent to enter, I'd be delighted to win one - but I promise I won't be "green with envy" lol.
Senex, about the badges
( * Xena ApilSin - Nov 3, 2009 - 21:10 )
"Entrant" and "Non-Entrant" badges will be posted on each world's GF planning thread tomorrow, and will include textarea boxes with the coding for your convenience.
You can read more about the badgeshere.
An "un" question
( * Fedelm Cruithni - Nov 3, 2009 - 14:40 )
I was just testing the signup link because I heard it was acting wonky. How does one "unsignup" please?
Information, please...
( * Senex Caecilius - Nov 3, 2009 - 11:22 )
Senex is entering three of his properties in the tour, and none of them in the contest. Is he still supposed to display a competition badge at each one? If so, where are these non-contestant badges to be found?
Congratulations!

To the Orient's new Scribe, the esteemed Monkey King himself, Sun Wukong Tang for being the first to sign up! Please accept a 'banana daiquiri' made with the finest light rum, triple sec, banana, lime juice, sugar and cherry to say thanks for joining in!
CONTEST DESCRIPTION AND RULES:
Time to dust off the old homestead. This is your chance to shine!
Emerald Expeditions Best 'Hood Home Challenge
The theme is green: recycling, reinventing, refurbishing, maybe even a little re-evaluating the history we all love so much. What better way to do this than by hosting a tour of member-owned and designed 'hood properties?
Contest Rules
1. The competition begins November 9, 2009 and ends at midnight of November 13, 2009 AW time.
2. Contestants and non-contestants alike are encouraged to promote their 'hood property via grams, scrolls and posts made on the main Goldfest 2009 thread. 3. 'Hood homes may not contain profanity or other offensive material and must comply with the Code of Conduct. 4. Members who intend to have two properties open for display during Goldfest are requested that only one of their properties be entered in the Best 'Hood Home Challenge. The judges will be relying on the honesty of contestants. They request that, if a person has properties open for display using different personas, only one persona enter the competition. For example: Tom Appius is also known as his Egyptian persona Dick Khufu and has a secret persona of Harry Tupac — if this person wishes to enter the competition, he may enter only one of his properties in the competition. 5. Credit must be given for any use of 'linkware' or graphics/artwork and sources must be cited. 6. Every contestant must display a competition badge as a visual aid for the judges. These badges will be distributed to world scribes and posted on every worlds' GF planning thread prior to Goldfest for you to display on your property. 7. The contest is open to everyone, including scribes, who are also eligible to win the site currency and designer plaque on offer. The demis and our three esteemed judges — Heraklia Aelius, Ananrane Burgundian and Livia Servillius — are not eligible to enter. The judges' decision is final. Their deliberations will be hard and their job made a lot easier if everyone acts in a mature and responsible manner when the winners are announced. The chainsaw has a sharp new blade and adolesent tantrums will not be acceptable. Deadline, criteria and awards
