Welcome to the World Adventures Building Contest.
Are you ready to travel, see some new sights? Then join the building tour. It should be lots of fun and lots of great stuff to see.
In this contest we are going to be building in these three worlds. Egypt, France and China. This will be a tour with a stop in each world and the chance to submit a build for each. You don’t have to submit a build in each of the worlds if you don’t want to. I will leave that completely up to you. But, it could hurt your chances at the grand prizes if you don’t.
On the first stop in our tour we will be stopping in China. You will have a month and a half to submit a build for this world. It must be built in the world. No EA remodels please. It must be a new build from you. Please use one of the lots in the world.
On the second stop in the tour we will be stopping in Egypt. You will have a month and a half to submit a build for this world. It must be built in the world. No EA remodels please. It must be a new build from you. Please use one of the lots in the world.
On the third and final stop in the tour we will be stopping in France. You will have a month and a half to submit a build for this world. It must be built in the world. No EA remodels please. It must be a new build from you. Please use one of the lots in the world.
At the end of each tour stop there will be judging for all the builds submitted for that stop. The top 4 in in each stop will receive a prize of 500 simpoints worth of items from their wish list.
At the end of our tour and the judging has been completed for the final stop. All scores will be kept throughout the contest and combined for a chance to win a grand prize.
Building in each of the stops will play a huge part in weather or not you have a chance at the grand prizes. There will also be a few runner up positions as well.
There will be some great chances to win some prizes throughout the contest. So get your bags packed and lets take a trip.

Okay, questions!
First off: When you say already placed lot, does this include bulldozing other lots? You said blank ones, but I wanted to check if we could bulldoze one for that oh so perfect spot.
Secondly:
Can we upload more pictures to a showcase or image hosting site?
Third:
Any size limit? I would think that to keep the budget small though we should stick with smaller lots. xD
*Taps chin* Also, should we include sims in the pictures?
I think that's it. xD

The Q & A section has been updated.
The China section has been updated with your names.
Thank you rosemow for stopping in. It is so good to see you here. I am so looking forward to seeing all the entries.
All of your questions have been answered in the Q & A section.
Ooh, I actually meant excitement more as a lurker! :oops:
I am very keen to build something for at least one of the worlds; I just don't want to commit then let you down. Been doing that too much recently :oops:
Either way, good luck with the fabulous contest!
Ok GreenCats. Thank so much for letting me know. I will take you off the list. I like to lurk in contests too. LOL It's all good.
(Besides, less competition ;P)
NiniBeMe69, I think some people don't express interest until their build is basically ready to go, because they're not sure if they'll be able to finish in time or they decide to scrap it.
I'm sure your contest will be a great success. This thread looks really pretty and it's a great theme.
I started to build something for Shang Simla today. I haven't ever built for this world before, but the scenery is so beautiful that it's really inspiring me :-)
Thank you YellowJane. I appreciate that very much.
Alrighty then Kate. Woo hoo!
Thank you Ashley for signing up. I will put you on the list.
