Christmas / Winter Theme Competition Is (closed)

MMCForums Theme Contest: November / December

Winter is well and truly here. We've even had snow in parts of England, though not where I live... yet. I know it may seem a little premature to start a Christmas theme competition now but if we were to start on the 1st December, some entries wouldn't arrive until it was too late for members to take advantage of their wonderful work. So I figured we'd spread this competition over 2 months.

Now I'm aware not all of our member celebrate Christmas so I'm opening this topic up a little to include festive Holidays that occur around the world at this time of year and for those who none of the above apply to, then you're more than welcome to enter with a winter based theme. I hope I've covered all angles and anybody can join in the fun.

As it's a festive competition and spans 2 months I'm raising the value of the prizes. Ho-ho-ho

Please read the rules entirely, as any submissions failing to follow these will not be considered for the contest.

my best regards,

Hey Dhanusaud, I can't wait to see what you're going to produce!

Just wondering Paul,have you thought about whether or not the mod team can enter or not?
Honestly I think it should be closed for us,we dont want anyone to cry "rigged" should one of the team win a prize do we?

it should be open for all
i think the fun of making the theme is seeing it get downloaded but there is always someone who will shout no fair its a hard call the staff are very good themers

For resdient themer members yeah,but for mods and gallery mods should be closed in my opinion only cause like I and you already mentioned,there's always people who wont think it fair should a team member win.

thats the trouble fonzi you cant please all the people all the time its up to you guys me thinks

Well,I know the 'Halloween theme comp' was open to all members but as fas as I know at the moment the new comp for Christmas themes wont be.

Just need confirmation from Paul on this.Then we'll know for sure.
