[Housing] 🍄 Druidic Groves: An ESO Housing Contest 🍄 Entry Deadline Mon 20th Jan! 📌

Nordenheim1

🍄 Hi folks, I'm delighted to announce the ‘Druidic Groves’ housing contest! 🍄

We’re looking for all sorts of druidic builds; Think stone circles, overgrown ruins, forest glades, cave dwellings, treetop villages and hidden nomadic abodes! Whether you’re building for a circle of druidic forest guardians, a coven of dark druidic witches, or even a fiery clan of Firesong druids, the build has to focus on druidic elements. 🌿

You can use homes of any size, and previously built homes are accepted provided they have not won any contests previously. Homes that are entered into other housing contests running at the same time are also accepted. (The only limitation we ask is that builds are not overly gory, or too adult in nature.)

The homes/builds will be judged based on the following criteria;

Theme
Creativity
Aesthetics
Technical Skill

📜 To enter, fill out the google form here: https://forms.gle/zbumG3gnZ9SWVmLT7

📅 DEADLINE: Monday 20th January (updated)
📅 JUDGING PERIOD: Tuesday 21st January - Tuesday 4th February (updated)

Entries will be judged by Nordenheim and special guest judges Swankery, LuluZealander & Tirinei!

📌 This contest is open to players on PC NA and PC EU only, as we are only able to provide prizes for PC. That said, if anyone would like to share any builds on console, you can film a short video of this (5 minutes maximum) and I can show this on stream, though there will be no prizes for console players.

📌 EHT may be used for this contest, but we advise using it minimally; the build should stand on its own two feet, for visitors that do not have EHT installed. Trigger animations will not be allowed for this contest.

🏆 For this contest we will have some incredible prizes, huge thank you to Bethesda UK for providing all the Crown prizes for the contest!; 🏆

🥇 First prize - 5500 Crowns, 5 Million Gold & Eerie Violet Bantam Guar Pet!
🥈 Second prize - 3000 Crowns, 3 Million Gold & Pink Torchbug Pet!
🥉 Third prize - 1500 Crowns & 1 Million Gold!
🏅 Honourable Mentions - 500K Gold Each!

I can’t wait to see what everyone puts together, and tour a brilliant bunch of builds!

~ Nordenheim ✨

Oh the competition is scary with that theme, so many plants virtuoso, don't think i'll try my luck for a first try ^^

On the other hand, if I may, it's about sharing a build with the community and not just about winning!

In any case what I love with this theme is that you can go full on all the awesome Home Goods from the Conservatory category and they cost pennies with in-game gold and that's super cool. ^^

100% what Lilarna said here, it's about sharing creativity, ideas and celebrating housing builds! The more druidic builds I get to tour, the happier I am! 💛

You can use homes of any size, and previously built homes are accepted provided they have not won any contests previously.

Does this mean winning like first place or just placing in top three winning spots?

I'd say winning Top 3 if there were prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd 👍

⚠ UPDATE: ENTRY DEADLINE EXTENDED ⚠

After fracturing my elbow 9 days ago, I also threw out my back yesterday, so we will be extending the entry deadline for this housing contest to Monday 20th January!

This should give folks who have already entered more time to finish or fine tune their builds, and allow for a few more entries! 🌿
