1 // SKYRIM HOUSING CONTEST
It’s time to make a house with a proper Skyrim feel! We are hosting a housing competition where anyone can submit a furnished abode suitable for the inhabitants of Skyrim for a chance to win our prizes! This contest is even divided into two categories for double inspiration!

BEST NORD HOUSE
The theme for this challenge is: home for a nord! Bring out the rusticness, the wood and runes, the snow and ice, the harsh environments and hospitality of the nords, any interpretation of the theme is welcome! Bonus points for using the new player inn room, that is a challenge in itself. Did you know that the new general furnishing merchant of Solitude sells brand new nord furnishings?

BEST VAMPIRE HOUSE
The theme for this challenge is: a lair fit for a vampire of Skyrim! Bring out the lightless abyss, the blood stains, the sinister elegance and eternity of the vampires, and why not sprinkle a bit of Blackreach darkness and glowy plants on your creation, any interpretation of the theme is welcome!

Bethesda and Tamriel Women Unite welcome you all to a big vampire and nord results reveal party Friday night the 12th of June! Dress up in your best nord and vampire costumes and join our nord party with lots of mead, bathing in ice-cold water, and bragging about taking a arrow to the knee. (Who can come up with the most impressive/scary/unbelievable story about it?) Let’s go on a tavern route all around Western Skyrim, drink and brawl with our bare fists in our nord bathing towels!

During this stream we will have a housing tour of all the sumbitted houses, show the artwork created of Lyris and Fennorian, reveal the juicy fanfic and also listen to the musical wonders that has been created by you all. We will give away crown codes for ESO in-game extras and, and hand out prizes for the different contests to worthy winners.
