This is the official discussion thread for the blog article "Announcing the Winners of the ESO Greymoor Housing Contest"
We recently challenged you to decorate your home in Tamriel based on two themed categories, and you didn’t disappoint! We received a ton of astonishingly creative entries (and some impressively disturbing ones, too), making judging especially challenging for all involved.

Sorries✭✭✭Congrats to the winners!
I have a couple of points of feedback I would like to add about the contest.
-The country restrictions should be made a bit more obvious. I had to be the bearer of bad news multiple times and very often people had already invested in their entries and I even saw some only find out after finishing one.
-I have heard about some inconsistencies regarding some translations of the rules. I heard that the french version for example implied that only interior entries of the vampire homes were allowed.
-It was completely possible to enter without out adding a file, which means if someone's file didn't completely upload for whatever reason they would still get a ''entry submitted'' screen.
-Many questions on the official forum post regarding the contest remained unanswered. For example whether re-submitting was allowed or not. Personally I am proponent of re-submitting before the deadline with a last one counts rule, especially in combination the point above this one.
-I currently see some debate about reshaders, I recommend to be more specific on whether that is allowed or not.

"Fennorian's Lab"
I'm not into traditional vampire, but I loved Tzinghalis' lab in Blackreach. This is my version of a vampire's alchemy lab, complete with plans for adventure. Basement of Proudspire, but I'm still working on the rest of the home.5 -

This is my Vampire House, done in Coldharbour Surreal Estate. I wanted something elegant with hints of evil, because I thought elegant and evil/menacing would fit the Vampire Lords well.
The story me and my guildmates were acting is, there is a vampire feast going on, and during that feast, a werewolf leader decided to challenge the vampires, as an act of defiance.
I'm thinking of continuing the house to add two more rooms and complete it.4 -

This was my take on the vampire home theme. I used the Grand Psijic Villa main hall and had trouble getting a wide enough angle on it, but thankfully a great guildmate of mine offered to take the screenshot on his ultra wide monitor that he plays ESO on. (Really makes me want to invest in an ultra wide screen myself )
Also this contest helped me find the energy to finish the Midyear Mayhem achievements I had been putting off since every red light I used was between 100k (Replica Cursed Orb of Meridia) and 50k (Hemo Helot, Benign, Orb of Stone) and the red light from the MM achieve vendor was only 30k (Probably-Not-Punch Bowl of Mayhem).
Congratulations to all the winners and it is so nice to see other people posting screenshots of their entries too. We need a giant gallery of all the entries this contest was so fun!4 -

After a quick google search I saw this;
"Where are my Xbox screenshots?
If you are signed in to your Microsoft Account on a PC or via OneDrive.com, you will be able to find the screenshot under OneDrive\Pictures\Xbox Screenshots."
Then as you are typing out your reply in this forum look for the photo icon, 2 on the right after the little smiley face icon and select your screenshot and wait for it to upload before posting your reply.1 -
