Sooo.... when will we know the winners??? And when will the next theme be decided and announced?

*EDIT* Sorry, let me clarify my question. Since the poll for the next theme is already up and running, when will that poll close, and the new theme therefore be decided on and announced?

I think they are going to short list some of the submissions and then put up a poll for us to vote for our favorites.

Holy Toledo! That is some amazing work! If only I was talented in Modding, Skinning, etc...

I don't get why so many Simmers hate Marsha Bruenig. She actually grows up to be quite pretty if you allow her to.

Ok, now I'm freaking out again. My lot got posted, and I saw it on the main downloads page. Then I went to edit a spelling mistake (their to there) and I can't find it on the downloads page ANYWHERE! Its still in the contest entry area, and on my page, but they both switched positions with other downloads that had been posted after it. Did I do something wrong and WHAT HAPPENED?!? ACK! Did I kill my advertising by being obsessive about grammar!??!

Edit: I found it on page 26, how did it get there?!?! Is there anyway to put it back infront of Aquae Simlis - Roman Fort and behind Fresh-Prince's 2001 Ford Winstar cars (thats where it was originally)?

Re-Edit (I told you I was panicking):Now it has moved to page 31, I looked for a couple of the other entries and found that they are likewise being relocated based on when they were uploaded, not approved. Meaning, the ones that had to wait in the backup are getting unfairly advertised. No one goes back 30 pages to find something new. Is there a way that this can be fixed?

You probably don't have all the expansion packs. Check the filter on the left of the page.

Exactly what I was wondering. The contest deadline is a week past now... any word on the results, or even an official decision on the theme for the next one, so we can get started creating?

YYes, there is a link to the poll for next month's theme in the first post; and yes, we're working on getting up a shortlist for exceptionals

This should be news, if I wouldn't have checked this thread again I would have never noticed that poll.

I've seen the poll and voted for my choice... I was just wondering when the official announcement will be made, and the new category opened, so we know for definite sure what to create. As it is, it appears Old Hollywood will be the next theme, but when will it be made official?

Either the prizes are sent by email to the winners (usually for the exceptional ones: the prize in this case is "personalized" with the name of the winner and the contest (s)he got it from) , or they'll receive a PM containing a link to download it themselves.

Do all the objects,flooring and anything else u might include have to be custom? Could you use only Maxis stuff thats already on the game and win? Or do u only look for people who have custom content?

sinniti - lots with excessive custom content are actually rather large to download and not necessarily a winner at all. What you -do- in building a creative lot is far more important than packing it with custom content, if you made it or if someone else did.

Now a few well selected bits of custom content, or if there is nothing in game that will really fit - well, then of course, you would probably want to use it. There's no hard and fast rule. What is important - visual appeal, interesting and/or accurate buildings, attention to detail.
