DEADLINE: SUNDAY MARCH 7th 11:59 PM EST

After the deadline maahes will post a thread with all of the houses entered into the contest and the judging will begin. Results will be announced when all judges have judged! A special prize will be awarded to the winner.

Judges post your opinions of what should be judged on and how heavily.

from fooka03:
Theme: 20
Originality: 30
Style: 30

My choice is not there.

STAFF ONLY!!

I would be bitterly disappointed if a player was chosen to judge a contest. I believe in impartial staff choices.

Not players who will favor a friend or someone who is more popular than someone else.

[BlackFoot]

maahes is staff,
somtimes it is up to the player base to do things for themselves
i think this is one of them

if we have a panel of 5 judges, with complete transparency in the judging methods i think it iwll stop the TORPEDOING of players homes.

If you have any suggestions on how to make judging as fair as possible please check the house contest thread and join the current discussion regarding voting and leave your input, we need more input to get this as best we can.

Even staff are human and will be partial, even if they arent, they will be accused of it forever

Judges we now turn this contest over to you
Talk amongst yourselves to decide how you will be grading houses and make a post for everyone to see how it will work. After the screenshot thread is made judges will put their scores for each.

Thanks to all those that voted me in office.

[Maahes]

I edited the first post a little bit and stickied the thread, hope you don't mind blackfoot.

Now everyone get to work! looking forward to see what everyone comes up with.

[BlackFoot]

let the fun begin

one house per player right?

[Jaster]

I mainly look at the following when it comes to a nicely decorated house ...

*Usefulness - are you adding stuff just to add it that serves no purpose?
*Organization - clutter free?
*Theme - self-explanatory

I also like to see creativity when building and using certain items.

[Maahes]

one house per player right?

that's correct

Thanks for your suggestion jasper, i would like to hear an opinion from the other judges as well.

Also, if anyone is having trouble sending a PM with attachments you can also send your submissions through email at [email protected] and make sure to include your account name so i know who you are.

Originality

Theme

Effort

This is just a rough outline of a few elements that I'll include in each house judging write-up...but basically considering it's a decoration contest I'm looking at how much thought you put into it. If it's something that truly stands out, it deserves to be awarded. Themes are also something I enjoy, but would not consider penalizing if it didn't exist.

As to loop's stuff, I wouldn't judge on usefulness, as this is a Decor contest and nothing more.
