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.
