• Do not post replies and/or contest applications before the contest host has checked in on this thread, or your post will be deleted.
  
• DO NOT WRITE USELESS POSTS like "Hey cool contest, I think I might join." Reserve type posts and useless posts about coming back with an application will be deleted.

Ok, I've checked in. Start sending in those apps!

I need Judges please ,and, no photo and Ciao Alora, You can't judge, I need you to enter!!! lol!

Edit: It would help if I posted the app wouldn't it ?? lol! It's already been a long day!

Hansel und Gretyl:



"...and they followed it until they reached a little house, on the roof of which it alighted; and when they approached the little house they saw that it was built of bread and covered with cakes, but that the windows were of clear sugar."

Build and decorate a sweet and tasty home and lot for The Witch, Hansel, and Gretel; that exemplifies the story. This should only be a one story home, but you may have decorative non-living floors, such as a tower or a "widow's walk". This should be built on a lot no larger than 3x3.

Picture requirements for round:
1)1 Overview of Exterior (entire lot from side to side, not an aerial)
2)1 Aerial, interior
3)Up to 3 Photos, which can be collages; featuring interior, exterior and any outbuildings or lot features.

May I EJ, or judge?
I dunno, don't have much experience.

im not great at building houses, but im going to join anyways. will we be judged on building itself or the interior as well?

Ooh!
Pick me!
EJ please!
:P

Yes and Yes.

Pux and Gray-eyed, I put you both as EJ's

I'd love to be a judge for ya, katt.

*pouts* I was hoping you'd enter! *sigh*... oh well... judge it is.

Oh darn!!! So now I have to enter another contest huh? Fine.... I'll work on an app then :p

Katt EEK! Judging spots are filled so....give me a shout if you need me!

Brilliant concept for this contest, and I cannot wait to see entries!!

Desty! put your glasses on! It says TBA! lol! Added you as 3rd judge

w00ts! *I do need glasses*

*ugh* i have to have 4 more posts to put pictures up, eh that will give me enough time to look for more fancy downloads i cant wait to start this

I did a small Gingerbread cottage for this one.

Edit: I added a room for Hansel and Gretel.

Nice app, CiaoAlora! It looks good enough to eat!

C'mon people, let's see some more apps!

wow CiaoAlora, that house looks great! we are using the same wallpaper

Thanks you two!
CiNDERELLA- great minds think alike!

lol i guess so

Very nice CiaoAlora. As it happens, I was using the same wallpapers as well, though I expect that most who enter this will be using a lot of the same things.

Katt, what time on Sunday is the deadline for entries? I'm planning on entering this, and had a lot mostly finished last night after working on it for a few hours....then when I went to save it, the game crashed and I lost it all But I guess this will give me a chance to redo a few of the things I wasn't quite happy with. Almost makes me wonder if there's something about entering contests that makes your game blow up...since there seems to be a lot of it going around lately among people who are in contests.

The deadline will always be 11:59:59pm GMT-5 on the last night of each round.

wow. looking great!

OK, I have added onto my application, so everything should be finished now.

I hope to see some more apps come in, come on people!

CiaoAlora...gorgeous entry! A glass of milk and I'm all set, lol Really beautiful details! And the cauldron in the kitchen is great lol...perfect

And yeah, I can't wait to see more entries! Come on guys the next rounds are gonna rock too, this is all so unique... *w00ts*

Ok, I'm pretty nervous since this is the first contest I'm attempting, but here is my application for this. I'm sure the pictures aren't the greatest, but I did my best to show what needed to be shown while staying within the contest and forum guidelines for picture size and number of pictures. Images were sharpened a bit, and corners cropped off on a few to eliminate irrelevant outdoor background I couldn't avoid...if this is a problem, please let me know and I'll redo them as needed.

Overview from the front of the house

Aerial of the house and outbuilding (the small interior balcony seen in the collages below is not shown in an aerial as I didn't feel it really constituted a 2nd level)

Collage 1 - Dining/Living Room, balcony

Collage 2 - Kitchen and Bathroom (outhouse)

Collage 3 - Night shot, front door detail, bedrooms


The idea here was to try to combine a modern concept of a gingerbread house with its whimsy and bright cheerful decorations, with the feel of a medieval cottage in the form of the medium/dark wood furnishings (modern toilet aside). I'll leave it to the judges to decide if I've been successful
