Thread: [Landroval] A Parade of Homes - Month of May Contest!

Home is where the heart is, or so the saying goes! We here at the Landroval Times would love to see where it is you adventurers hang your hats up at the end of a long day of battles (even if it's just a day of battling the barkeep to keep your tab open!)


Each week in May, we'll be giving away prizes to the top Standard, Deluxe, and Kin homes (as voted on via a poll that will be posted on the Landroval Times). This will culminate in a best of the best vote at the end of the month, where the previous winners will compete for the grand prize in their category, and overall.




Submission Regulations

• Please make sure there are no names visible in the screencaps.
• Do not edit the screencaps (so no photoshop, or other editing software please).
• You do not have to feature your character in any of the images, though you can if you'd like.
• Include a minimum of 4 screencaps (though you may, of course, include more).
• Remember to include images of your yard.
• The screencaps must be of your own house and reflect the way it is currently decorated.
  • If entering the kin house competition, you must be the kin leader/owner of the house.

How to Submit

• Email your images to admin@landrovaltimes.info OR send ' redpoisonapple ' a PM on the lotro forums.
• The images can be sent as links, or if emailing, as attachments.
• Put down which category you are entering (Standard House, Deluxe House, Kinship House).
• Include your home's full address and the homeowner's name.
• Please, also write down a few words (can be as long, or as short as you'd like) describing your home, what your home means to your character (if it means anything at all that is), and the decoration style you chose. This will be posted up with your screenshots for others to read.

Good Luck to everyone!

The prizes have been updated! There have been a few fantastically kind folk that have sent in donations to fatten up the rewards. Weekly winners will now receive 1 Gold each!

Grand Prize winners (at the end of the month) will receive 10G (standard house), 15G (deluxe house), and 25G (kin house)!

AND to the most popular personal home (standard or deluxe), there is the additional reward of 1550 TP!

Remember, the deadline to submit screenshots for Week One is WEDNESDAY MAY 02ND!

Even if you think your home is 'cruddy and boring', submit away! Entrants are kept anonymous and you may even find yourself winning during a thin week, putting you in the running for the 1550 TP Grand Prize.

This sounds fun. I shall have to dust off my little home.

Friendly reminder there are 3 days left to enter the contest this week. Weekly winners receive 1G plus furniture and are entered for the grand prize of 1550 TP. You can't win if you don't enter!

TWO days left to submit for the week. At the moment, looks like one person is going to end up running away with all three prizes as others have yet to enter.

All you need to do is send in a minimum of four unedited screencaps to admin@landrovaltimes.info OR PM me here with the image links (you can upload to imgur/photoshop/tinypic/etc.) as well as the address and character who owns the home.

A little /bump to this fine contest!
