Simtropolis Competitions     Today we are announcing a new feature for all members of the site, Simtropolis Competitions.     These competitions will be based on a variety of different conditions, creating beautiful images, making new custom content, or achieving specific gameplay requirements. Each week will feature a different rotation of competitions, starting this week with a gameplay competition and an ongoing photo competition.   The winner of each competition will be featured on the home page, and will also receive a custom award, amongst other competition specific rewards.     Each competition will have a slightly different set of rules, check each competitions specific rules before posting, however we have some global rules that apply to all competitions: All submissions must be your own creation. You may obviously use others custom content in images or content you create, however final products must be created by you. Be genuine, don’t cheat or solicit votes. If you do, all awards and promotion will be removed and you will be barred from entering any future competitions. Lets keep it fair for all involved. Entries must be made within the specified timeframe. A Countdown will be posted on the pages, and the entry pages will be locked once the time has been reached. Winners will be announced within the next week, or after a voting period has been conducted.     Depending on participation we might make this a seasonal event, with 15-20 weeks a year being seeing competitions run. We will give updates in the coming weeks to wether or not this condition stays.   Also, we would love to hear your feedback on current or future competitions. Its early in the process, and things are likely to change, so mention any additions or alterations and we will see what we can do. And if you have ideas for different competitions let us know, we are open to one off, or reoccurring competition ideas if you have them.   Use this thread to post feedback, or message one of our operators, thats either Hamish, Huston or Toothless Stitch.     We have a number of competitions lined up for all parts of the site, so dive in and have fun!
