Best Farm Contest - 8th July - 31st July, 2016

Hi Farmers!

Welcome to our Official July Competition!!


This month's theme is "Birds and or Butterflies", so post here your fabulous farms and get the chance to win some Farm Cash!!

This month's theme is all about Birds and or Butterflies! We have many different flying birds in the store and some of you may have the seasonal butterflies that were released previously. Picture designers may like to design their own birds/butterfly pictures. What we would like to see is the best use of these items and for the design of the farm to reflect the use of them. The flying birds were all released at low levels and can be found in the “Farm Décor” section of the store, or use the search box in the store and type in “flying”, here is a picture showing those...



We also have Hens. Chickens, Peacocks, Ostrich, Flamingo, Ducks and Geese that you could use, but please if you are going to use those do not be tempted to place too many on your farm as that could cause problems with loading. We recommend using only about 20 of each animal for ease of loading.
We would love to see how you use these items to interpret your designs

IMPORTANT NOTE: For this contest you MUST Freeze your animals. The reason for this is because your animals may wander to a different part of your farm which may spoil your design. ALSO your picture MUST be an exact replica of your farm. Freezing your animals will ensure they do not move. To do this click in your Preferences, the wrench, and put a check mark to Freeze Animals. You must keep this option checked until the contest has been judged and the winners announced. If you do not do this your contest entry will be disqualified.


Prizes are as follows, divided into 2 Categories:

NOVICE

1st Prize - 120 Farm Cash
2nd Prize - 75 Farm Cash
3rd Prize - 50 Farm Cash

ADVANCED

1st Prize - 120 Farm Cash
2nd Prize - 75 Farm Cash
3rd Prize - 50 Farm Cash

Please, do not enter your farm without reading this ENTIRE post. Thanks!

The competition will begin on Friday, July 8th at midnight, and will close on Sunday, July 31st at midnight. The winners will be announced a few days later after the closing, depending on how many entries there are, as every entry has to be checked.

Note: All times are in GMT

Links to help you:

How do I post a picture for the Contest? Please remember, you must use the Small size while taking your photo as the Regular and Large sizes are too big for the forum. If you choose the wrong size, then we will delete your post and will send you a private message asking you to take a new photo using the right size. NOTICE: Your farm photo MUST be set to Public and remain that way till the winners are announced or we will not be able to help you if your entry needs fixing. To set the photo to Public, please open your Farm town album, and click in your photo. You will see the photo and on the right you will see your name and the date, besides the date you can see who are able to see that photo. Click there and set it to Public.
ALSO, remember to remove the check mark if you have set that farm as PRIVATE, so we can visit it.

Linking your farm to the Forum Please remember we need the link to the farm you are entering.
