After a nearly two year hiatus, Character Building Contests are back! Unlike the Events, contests have winners. Furthermore, whereas Events have fairly broad themes to build around, contest themes will be more restrictive for increased challenge, as you’ll soon find out.
First of all, credit goes to Ben C for this idea; he posted it over a year ago and I thought it was pretty neat. Anyway, for this Contest, participants will be making builds that reflect in some manner the culture of a hold of their choosing. The nature of the relationship between the build and the chosen hold is entirely up to the participant. They can be a champion of that hold, have a grudge against that hold's jarl, pretty much anything you can come up with. While participants aren't limited to doing things only in their chosen hold, their character should focus on it. Furthermore, for purposes of this contest, Solstheim will count as a hold, with Raven Rock being the hold capital.
You may work by yourself or in a team with other members; I strongly recommend teaming up with people from groups like Art, Lore, or Roleplaying if you want to create something truly great!
First Place - Gold
Second Place - Silver
Third Place - Bronze

Worst time to tempt me back into Character Building, especially when the deadline is during the time I go on vacation.
I don't know if I will participate in this, but the best possible scenario for me would be to team up with somebody that will do the game-play testing. I can make good presentations and/or artsy-fartsy pictures.

Soliciting me for my "services" eh?
Like I said, best possible scenario is teaming up with another person. My time is going to be a little too occupied to do any real build-testing. #EndorsementDeals #OxyClean #JUSTDOIT

Unless one of the other hosts disagree with me on this, I'm going to go ahead and say no limit. If you want to win the contest, I'd imagine that you'd be better off posting one really good build rather than trying to split your time and effort between a bunch of them. And yeah, there's no level limit.

If you can crank out two builds from scratch in a month the quality will definintely suffer. We shortened the event/contest duration to discourage multiple entries.

Minor update to the contest: we'll see how many likes each build has and declare a winner one week after the deadline for posting contest builds, as opposed to the previously stated 24 to 48 hours.

skally plz do dis
Dude, you're more than welcome to join Tae and I. We've got some pretty decent ideas brewing already and I'm sure you could help polish them up a bit. I'd love to see you getting involved in building again in any capacity ... So what better way to make it happen than to have you join us?!
