Announcing the Advent of MTS Competitions!
Hello Fellow MTSers! Today we are excited to announce a new wave of MTS Competitions!
MTS will by hosting bi-monthly competitions which will include BOTH creating challenges and photo contests! Back by popular request, this month we will be hosting our
third annual Calendar Competition. This year the theme is Lol Sims, but I'll let Heaven and missroxor talk more about that in the entry threads.
This November we are running a Calendar Competition, in January look for a Create Competition, and another Photo Competition in March. This pattern will repeat, so mark your schedules!
We have 2 competition threads up and running, one for
The Sims 2 and the other for
The Sims 3. You may enter one or both of them. You have all of November to get your entries in, but take note of the time zones! For future Create Competitions, you will just need to upload your entry, and get it through moderation. We might also require you to include a #searchtag of some sort.
A panel of MTS Staff will be judging all competition entries. The judging criteria will be made public at the start of each competition. Usual criteria will include high quality images and relevance to the topic. 1 in 10 entries will be chosen as a winner, so your odds are great! (much better than any lottery I've ever heard of!)
For the winners of the competitions we have a special in game item! It's been converted for both TS2 and TS3, and they work mostly identical to each other. Now, it's not just a silly looking light, it does stuff! I'm not going to get into all the details yet, but it helps your sims with skilling, because you had to have put in the dedication, motivation, and concentration to win the competition, so now your sims can have a bit of that drive too. You will also receive a pretty blue ribbon icon above your avatar. (Like mine! See?) Thirdly, everyone entering will earn a snazzy red competition sticker in the Achievements panel of your profile page. The winners will get the purple one.
Everyone (even those *not* competing) will be able to download the new MTS in game calendars. Future Photo Competitions will also have the winners' images made into in game items. Create Competitions will of course have loads of new topic related content to download, so stick around, lots of new goodies are coming your way!
