Background:
As a child we were surrounded by fantasy and fiction; the books your father read to you before tucking you in at night or the nursery rhymes your mother would happily recite to you in her sing-song voice.
Objective:
Go back to your childhood and remember your favorite nursery rhyme or children's story; think Mother Goose, Little Golden Books, the songs you sang at the playground with your friends. Once you have something in mind, create a scene in your game depicting the main theme of your story or rhyme, capture the perfect screen shot, and submit it (along with the rhyme or brief summary of your story) to enter this contest. It's that easy!
Rules:
*Absolutely no CC will be allowed. You're welcome to use custom patterns though.
*Pose player is allowed though not necessary.
*All entries must contain at least one (no more than three) pictures.
*All entries must include the words to the nursery rhyme or a summary of the story you chose.
*All sims and lots used must be uploaded to scan for CC usage
- - if CC is found you will be allowed to resubmit your entry after the CC has been removed from your picture.

*DO NOT quote pictures. If you want to quote a post that contains a picture, simply delete the picture before submitting.

*Can we use EA store content?
-Yes. Store content is perfectly fine, as are recolors, and custom patterns. Only 3rd party custom content is not allowed.
*Is it alright if we only build a set as opposed to an entire lot (I think from what you posted the answer would be yes...)?
-Yes. I don't expect a full build (that's a lot of work) just enough props etc. to depict the theme of the story or nursery rhyme you chose.
*Can I use "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue..." that one?
-No. I wouldn't consider that a children's story or nursery rhyme - it's more of a love poem. If you're unsure of what a nursery rhyme is or are looking for some ideas, google will pull up lots of titles for you.
* Can the nursery rhyme/story be of a foreign origin?
- Yes. Any culture's rhymes and stories are accepted and welcome to enter - just be sure to include a translation so that it can be judged appropriately.
* Are we able submit more than one entry?
- Yes. You may enter more than once HOWEVER you are only eligible to win one time.
*What if we do the same story as another entrant?
- It's fine if there are more than one entry for the same story/rhyme. The pictures will be different and that's what counts.

Yep! Though by being a judge that means you can't submit an official entry. If that's ok with you, I'll put your name down. Thank you for wanting to judge and sponsor!
That's fine. I cannot play my game anyway. You're welcome.
aspecially as I need build, creat sims and picture takeing.. not to mention translate a ryme...
Thanks for your input, Anette.
For people who are also hesitant due to this: The picture I made is only a box that has decorations on the inside, you can download the lot if you'd like to see it. Also, there are some stories/rhymes that require minimal decoration/props.
I use Swagbucks to earn gift cards to pay for my Sims games!

I hope to see some great work...
Mary, Mary, Quite Contary comes to mind rather quickly.
I will lurk. This will be a great group of photographs to look through.
Good idea, Klb, bookmarked!
Good luck, All.
Mary, Mary had come to mind, as had a few others but I think I'll go with the Queen of Hearts and her tarts!
