The Build-n-Share Challenge on Creative Corner (originally started by Adddict1220) has been around for over 3 years of continuous challenges. Are you looking for a place to hone your building skills and maybe win that next big building contest? Build-n-Share is your place to start. Challenges are bi-weekly, and our judges give detailed feedback (including best features and tips for improvement) on each and every entry.
And, as a little extra incentive for joining our challenge, we are now offering a small prize pool for each level of competition:
1st Place: 500 SP item(s) from your wishlist & 5 recs in your studio
2nd Place (if there are 5 or more entries in the category): 50 SP item(s) from your wishlist and 3 recs in your studio
3rd Place (if there are 7 or more entries in the category): 25 SP item from your wishlist and 1 rec in your studio
We currently have 3 Entry Levels: Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced
That's a potential Prize Pool of 1500+ SP for this challenge weeks!
Check out this week's challenge here: Bicentennial Blitz
