MTS Official 2014 Calendar Contest: TS3
 
Official MTS 2014 Calendar Contest: The Sims 3
Use your creativity to showcase your game in a shot fitting for each month of the year. The picture should be a landscape or build/decor picture without sims as the main focus representing the "feel" of a particular month. Have the living room decorated for Snowflake Day? Take a picture! Have a pumpkin patch to visit for Spooky Day? Take a picture! Please use northern hemisphere seasons. Season expansion pack and use of seasons holidays (Love Day, Spooky Day, etc) not required.

Rules
1. 1 picture per entry. You may only enter a month one time but may enter 2 separate months.
2. Only 15 entrants per month. Please no place holders. Each spot is only filled once the picture has been submitted.
3. CC is allowed. However, please make sure to follow MTS rules for CC; no pay content.
4. Pictures must be 1000 (width) x 750 (height).

5. No photo editing.
6. When posting your picture, please make sure to include the month it belongs to.
7. Sims 3 only. For Sims 2 version, please go here

How to Enter

2. Upload the picture to any image host - Tinypic, Photobucket, Flickr, or ModYourPanties
3. Start a new post on this thread - click Go Advanced, and you can click the little "Insert Image" icon in the toolbar, or just copy-paste the image location into some [img2] tags. Make sure to include which month your picture is for.
4. Submit your post - doing so will submit your entry.

Duration/Time Period
The contest begins November 1st, as soon as this is posted. Contestants will have until November 30th to post pictures. However, if a month fills up before that date, that month will be closed for new entries and judging.

Contestants
15 per month maximum

Judging and Scoring
Judging will be done by a panel MTS Staff and these are the things that the panel will be looking out for when entries are judged.
  • Theme - Does your picture represent the month you chose?
  • Creativity - Originality of idea
  • Style - Use of space, props, is it pretty?
  • Rules - CC adherence, no editing, inclusion of month

Prizes
A sticker for both winners AND participants, like these.
Also, a calendar will be made for download with each winning month.
And, of course, the blue ribbons for each month’s winner.

Chat Thread
If you don’t get a spot in your month, or want to post for more than the allowed amount of months, or just want to chat about the entries, please post in our Chat Thread!

Questions
Q: Can I have sims in my picture?
A: Yes, as long as they are not the main focus of the shot. They should just be background noise.

Q:What if the sim is dressed up for the season?
A: Again, they should be background noise only as a complement to your focus.

Q: I already entered 2 separate months for TS3. Can I compete in the TS2 calendar as well?
A: Yes, you may. If you play both games, you're more than welcome to submit for both contests, giving you 4 chances to win!

The picture you post will be your final shot - make it good. Posting a random picture of a christmas tree, easter bunny, yourself, etc to reserve a spot is not allowed and it will be deleted. If you want to post pictures like that, please see the chat thread linked above.

Once your post has been added to the table, it may not be changed. Do not change the picture, you may not delete it and enter a new month instead, etc. If you choose to delete your entry, you are removing yourself from the contest and no further entries will be permitted from you.

If anyone is notified that they have used pay content, their entries will be disqualified. The spots they had will NOT be held.

Table updated. Lunararc, for some reason your image is broken. Not sure if the link is bad or the tags but something is wonky.

sweetavatar12, that picture is not yours. With a quick google search, I found it on the web in the top 10 images displayed for "sims 3 halloween" and can find it on this site which states that it is a picture from the Sims 3 team. Using other people's pictures and "official" pictures is not only against the spirit of the contest but also just not cool, especially since by entering you're claiming it as your own. You are now disqualified from entering and your entries will be removed.

Aisquared, you've been added to the table. Thank you for the entry!

missyhissy, that's such a lovely boardwalk! The picture is 1024 by 578 though so if you wouldn't mind editing your entry and replacing it with the correct size, that would be great. Then just poke me (or post a new reply) when it's done. I'm glad someone entered for August. It's my birthday month and it was feeling rather lonely.

Diwtay, your second entry is added to the table.

Right, that should be right now

Almost, almost! It's 1000 by 700, instead of 750 so it's too short (like me, according to my husband) but just by a bit.

missyhissy 5th Nov 2013 5:06 PM

Oh, like me as well then
Right, third time lucky, eh? I'm clearly not having a good day


All times are GMT +1. The time now is 2:51 PM.
