I am happy to host two housing contests this January! These are open to all on PC/EU and PC/NA! Tours of these will be streamed at twitch.tv/jhartellis at the given times.
Happy Moo Year! 🐮
Tuesday, January 26, 1pm ET
Make a scene to celebrate the Moo Year! Can be related to ox, cow, minotaur, or anything similar.
Moo
Prizes: Top 6 mootastic builds will each get 300,000g on PC/EU or PC/NA
Sexy Stations 👗
Thursday, January 28, 1pm ET
Dress up any crafting station in a way that accentuates its function, for example, a clothing station with creatively crafted clothes around it. Can be any station, including dye and transmute. Must only be ONE station. BIG RULE: the station must still be usable!
Big thanks to CurseDeReaper for sharing this augmented Alchemy Station
Prizes: Top 6 creative stations will each get 300,000g on PC/EU or PC/NA.
HOW TO ENTER:
Two ways to enter:
1) Send an in-game mail to @JHartEllis. Include which contest you are entering (e.g. "Stations"). You may include a BRIEF description if necessary to explain your build.
2) OR, reply to this thread along with the server you are on (EU or NA) and include the contest type and which home it is in, and you may include a longer description and screenshots.
Make sure JHartEllis has Visitor access for the tours. It is not necessary to set the submission as your primary, and you do not need to be present during the streamed tour. Get your entries submitted at least 2 hours before the tours. Enter early (earlier the better). If you have EHT FX, publish them to the community or mail them in-game to JHartEllis
If this is your first month participating, I recommend checking out contest recaps from prior months at spicyeconomics.com
PRIZES:
There will be big winners for each contest (see above for details on each), and winners can be on PC/EU or PC/NA. Prize winners will be determined based on creativity, beauty, fun factor, and screenshotability. All other entrants will receive small participation prizes.
We'll have several prizes for Twitch chat participants during the streamed tours, including many ESO Stream Team game codes for pets, Crowns, and more. Tune in for the tours, get some decoration inspiration, and enter for prizes!
Good luck and have fun! Also... moo. 🐮

The rules say any station, including dye and transmute.

Araneae6537✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Regarding the crafting station contest, are only those things in immediate proximity to the station to be judged or could it be anything up to the whole property, like if someone wanted to set up a shop?
Thank you!

A few tips for any of my contests to have a better shot at winning:
Clear away unrelated distracting stuff
Think about what else is being captured in the background (or choose a home with a good backdrop as is)
Have enough space in the foreground to be able to see everything
Add a viewing platform if the ground angle isn't the best
Fill in weird voids--if your creation is tall or squarish, keep in mind that the screenshot is rectangular
Maybe in the future I'll do more gif-related entries where the 3-D aspect matters more, but I'm not there yet.Guild leader of Spicy Economics and Spicy Life on PC/NA

Eirinin✭✭✭✭I'd like to enter the stations contest, please. The home is the Gardner House in Wayrest, PC NA, @Eirinin (pronounced eye-RIN-in). It is listed as primary with visitor access.
The house is themed for a Breton sorceress with a fondness for crafts and books. She sells alchemy ingredients to pay the bills.
The main door is into Olivia's little alchemy shop, go through the tapestry behind the counter and turn right towards the stairs that go down. The provisioning station is down in the basement, in the kitchen ( head down the stairs, go straight, you'll run into the kitchen). I build a sort of medieval style cooking area with the "campfire" style cooking station, and managed with a lot of fiddling to get it on a base and topper, and with pots and pans and cooking utensils all around it. It has been as close to a kitchen style open cooking flame as I've managed and the station still works.
The house isn't finished - I'm only recently returned to the game after a year + off for health stuff, so the rooms are a very big WIP but I'm pretty chuffed with the kitchen. Hope you find it cozy and fun!Edited by Eirinin on January 27, 2021 7:41PM2 -

aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Just watched the crafting Twitch stream. Unfortunately I didn't provide good instructions to my Alchemy and Blacksmithing stations, but thanks for coving my Provisioning station!
If you do want to go back and check them out, behind the portal you'll notice a khajiiti arch where you can walk through the fench, then follow the stairs up to the blacksmithing station.
Under the deck (where you saw the bakery) there is a path that goes behind the large painted rock and up over the fence then down the secret skooma lab.0 -
