That's why I specified 'the ones that interest them'. Ones they consider potential winners.0 -
Kazya✭✭✭It's a nice idea, one I would have liked to try my hand at. But reading the official rules seems to once more exclude those of us living in Sweden (as well as many other countries) *sad*Mother Earth and Father Night gives me comfort, protection and shelter every step I take.
Brother Sun gives me the warmth I need, while Sister Moon lit my path so I don't get lost.
Auntie Life follows me on my journey until Uncle Death sing me the last lullaby.

That has less to do with Zos and more to do with the laws of each country governing lotteries, contests, etc.9 -

✭PC players using an add-on like Essential Housing Tools must disable any add-on generated textures and effects prior to submitting the screenshot.
But they can still use the editing tools to create designs and item placement that would be virtually impossible or exponentially more time consuming to do on console?
Will console players have their own separate category and associated prize pool, or are they lumped into one big happy addon-filled competition?Feric51

The Precision Edit tool they added with Greymoor improved the vanilla housing controls significantly, although I can understand that it is still a lot harder to do on consoles than with a mouse and keyboard.

But yeah probably EHT or other AddOns should have no place in contests, imo, for fairness' sake.6 -

I took my Screenshots of the house only (like the house loading screens we have).
Using characters (maybe even guildies, acting out a scene) would distract from the actual housing design imo.
We might have a situation like the 'Daedric Outfit contest' where the winner won by standing in front of a constructed feather wing done with furnishings, which had nothing to do with the outfit system that the contest was supposed to be about.3 -

I know someone who would also like clarification on this - "If only what is in the screenshot is what will be judged, can we only decorate part of a house for the contest? Or does the whole house need to be finished?"

We're not going to visit the houses. It's just based on what you submit. So no need to furnishing anything that can't be seen outside of your shot.7 -
