Phaenoh, the exceptional award winners will be emailed the participants trophy and the personalised trophy at the same time.
And yes, the prizes will stay the same; however each one will be a unique object marked with the theme of the relevant challenge, so you can build up a collection .

Congratulations to all participants of the first contest, and congrats to the 3 winners, you really did an amazing job!
Actually, all entries were pretty cool!

I already got my little idea for the next theme, and I'll participate this time!

I understand the situation - I was poking fun, it wasn't a serious comment. Head over to the SimPE site and see if you can get it fixed, there's plenty of time left.

Wonderful work by everyone - thank you for having the courage, creativity and committment to share!

I need to ask for more details on the Old Hollywood theme:

What year does Old Hollywood end?

Is it limited to Hollywood productions only - i.e. produced by, or featuring cast and crew from, a Hollywood studio, although the location could presumeably be wherever the movie was made - or can we take a more general approach that would include the rest of the world's film industry?

cjh3787 - these challenges are for for fun of it, for one thing - people create *all the time with NO rewards at all*

The creator challenge was NOT designed to only allow the very best creators on site to participate. Everyone is welcome, and _encouraged_ to take a try at creating. That is what it's about. As a matter of fact, if someone tries something new that they've never done before - they more than succeeded in meeting the challenge. We did reject some entries as not meeting minimal site requirements, so it's not that everything was accepted.

In addition, as our first time doing a creator challenge, it was expected there would be a ramp up, in terms of number of entries, members being aware of the theme, etc - and there is a time limit, which might mean for some they simply cannot enter. You might not realize that most of the most fantastic things you see on site have taken the creator more than 1 month to finish. Also consider that while mts2 has thousands of downloaders, the number of active creators is a very small fraction of them.

I encourage you to try creating, instead of criticizing. I stand by the fact that I'm pleased with everyone who entered, and there were some impressive entries.

PS - I checked the site for a post from you asking for help with uploading, but there was none. There were some other equally rude posts though, which have now been cleaned up.

Wow cjh3787 - such unwarranted vitriol - if you read Upload Wizard FAQ and still had trouble you could have asked for help in the Site Issues forum. Of course you have to want the help....

GRATS GRATS GRATS!!!!

To the winners and the not winners for making this a fantastic competition that was thoroughly enjoyable and gives everyone a chance to showcase their work =)

If anyone needs ideas,
PLEASE make a Lucille Ball sim. n___n
That would make my day; and she ALSO was a major part of Old Hollywood.
#43 Old 18th Sep 2007 at 4:32 AM
I have a question, I uploaded a sim and I was wondering, there were no views yet, so what I am asking is... when or is there any "Uploadmanagers" in the Old Hollywood contest section?

UploadManager is just the "facade" account that accept/reject PMs are sent from - yes, the mods are going to be doing the Contests queue, or the whole affair would be rather pointless.

I was merely voicing my concerns, Loverat (tiggerypum exempted from critisisim for she offered constructive critisisim). I actually have tried creating but found uploading rather perplexing, even with the FAQs. In addition to this, I fail to see that my critisism was severe enough to call "vitriol." I did, in fact, read the Upload Wizard FAQ but found nothing that helped me get my project uploaded. Loverat, you need to watch YOUR vitriol instead of making a big fuss of other people's opinions. Though I do it alot as well, I usually don't mean it and can't get around to deleting my posts.

This thread is not for arguing what the challenges should or shouldn't be, nor any other aspect of the site; the uploading system works just fine for hundreds of people every day, and if you're still having issues, we have Creator Issues, and Site Issues for you to post in.
If you have comments about he running of the challenges they are welcomed, but they must be constructive - you want the prizes to be more than permanent instant recognition on the site and two objects that were painstakingly meshed, textured, and hacked by some of the best creators we have - well, please tell us what prizes you think would be better, short of wads of cash which we leave to such charming personages as TSR

In addition, a plea to all entrants : We've already got sims of several big old hollywood stars - and as wonderful as your Marylin sim will be, bear in mind that there will be several already. Be as creative as you can, seriously, variety is the spice of life!

*whew* My entry was accepted and posted. I had a lot of fun with this one!!
Quick question: I've noticed several (very nice) entries from the same creator. Are we allowed to submit more than one entry? My understanding of the rules was one entry per person, but I've got an idea for another submission, if we're allowed more than one.

Thanks for this great contest!
