Hey everyone!
As we find ourselves in these difficult times, we were thinking of ways to raise the morale and encourage teamwork, but also spark the creativity this community has tons of.
That's why we've decided to hold not one, not two but three contests! These, however, won't all be your traditional contests we're used to having on the server. In order to showcase our accomplishments and the world of ASOIAF, two of these contests will be focused on photography and the third will be a classic building competition with a fresh new theme.
The first two contests will start today, the 15th of April, at GMT 17:00.
Contest #1 – Scene Recreation ends on the 15th of June.
Contest #2 – Westeros Captured ends a month from now, on the 15th of May.
Content #3 – Mid-Year Building Competition will start on the 1st of May and end on the 1st of June.
Multiple submissions are allowed, as well as co-ops. However, you can only receive a prize for one submission.
As always, everyone is allowed to participate. Guests are welcome to submit shader photos, organise scenes, and can be set up with building permissions to take part in the building contest.
The winners will be voted on by a jury of community members.
Submit your entry by sending it in a forum mail to WhereRmyDragons, lemonbear or CashBanks.
Recreate your favorite scenes from GoT or ASOIAF.
Using custom skins and new or existing settings, try to recreate a shot from the show or reimagine it according to the books.
From weddings and funerals, births and deaths, to battles, sieges and coronations, your possibilities are endless.
You can also put together a little comic book if one shot is not enough.
Teamwork is highly encouraged!
Points will be awarded for creativity, effort, detailing and artistic value.
Spoilers are fair game.
The prize will be advised shortly.
This one is pretty simple. All you have to do is capture the perfect shaders photo of a location on our map of your liking.
Anything from castles, towns and ruins to forest and lakes.
The goal here is to showcase the beauty of the things we have accomplished in the last decade, to serve as a reminder to never stop doing what we love - create!
Points will be awarded for creativity, technique and artistic value.
The prize for this a bit different - the winning entry will be used as one of the backgrounds of our launcher!
Theme will be announced closer to the start date, stay tuned for more details!
The use of shader mods is required for Contest #2 and heavily encouraged for Contest #1 to ensure minimal quality for each entry. We know that not everyone can run these, so we will make sure to arrange for someone else to do the screenshotting part for people who have serious ideas for the contests.
Good luck and stay safe!
