20 WINNERS & 16 MENTIONS
· 3 Houses for the Grand Winners of each category
· 105 MILLION GOLD
· 18,000 Crowns

We're looking for partners who'd like to relay mutual announcements. We also need official or anonymous donations, to make Houseborn a really special event! Please contact us in DMs! 😊

📂 C A T E G O R I E S 📂
· Contest Newcomer mode: 5 winners
· Regular mode : 10 winners
· Challenge mode: 5 winners

"Contest Newcomer mode" is for players who have participated in no more than 2 housing contests before entering this one (screenshot contests do not count). Players who have previously won or placed in the top #5 of a housing contest are not eligible for Newcomer mode.

"Challenge mode" can still be self-attributed if asked for but it's now automatic for participants who have placed in the top 5 in housing contests 3 times. For more flexibility, under certain conditions, we'll offer to return to Regular.

If you’re not in any of the above, then you will be in Regular mode.
