First Section: Information
So to start as I explained in the start this a is bi-weekly contest, it will run for 2 weeks starting Monday when it is posted and end the second Monday following. That very morning when the winners are announced the next one goes up and the cycle continues. Now 2 weeks is plenty of time to get some builds out, we don't ever expect a player to do a jaw dropping, stunning builds. Its expected to put some effort into your work, and to not use another players build (Even if given permissions we need to know from the other player). Originality and creativity is very welcomed. If the theme isnt something you have done before and is out of your comfort zone its really welcomed to try the theme out. A contest will challenge you to do something new and always remember to have fun with it!
The Theme
Each contest will have a unique theme to it, sometimes it may repeat some old ones such as holiday themes. They will challenge you at times, some being easy some being hard and entries will be judged if they fit and you will be notified quickly in case.
The Entry Form
This is perhaps the most important part to entering the contest. If you are sharing the build and not wanting to enter the contest itself just state your "sharing" it. If you are wanting to enter the contest you want to copy the form this is required. Entering the contest number seen at the top of the contest as example #57 - Gothic Inspirations. The in game name is optional if you leave it blank I will use your steam name if you win.

Now fun part, the build name if your build has a certain name such as Gothic cathedral. A name can define what you made if you want us to be 100% sure what you did. The Entry Details are where you would define what you built, example for Gothic Cathedral could be; its an amazing Gothic inspired cathedral with vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows and a touch of spookiness hiding in the corners.

The links and workshop section is where you would share your adventure link or a blueprint. How to do so is simple. When you capture your build in the game do the usual of name, description and publish. Go to your workshop from your profile in steam > right click > copy page url. Then go to that section of the entry form and paste it into the section and boom you have a link to the blueprint. Adventures are easier, once published you will have an option in site to copy a link to it, then just paste it into the area and put a name of the adventure in the build name if its different so players can run it themselves.

What to submit is easy, 1-3 screenshots which you can do via steam f12 and go into steam itself, top left into view, screenshots and upload the ones you want then go to your profile and copy each to the form. Or add them to the blueprint itself but I wont be going into details for that on this one. Links of the adventure or blueprint are a must. Entering on multiple accounts is not welcomed at all.

The discord is also free to join and submit ideas for future contests, to submit via the discord which all you have to do is ask how, asking questions about the contest and anything else.

Now the B&S if you enter does have a prize which is 500 coins given by playful, they are not in charge of this contest since its fan run. The winners are chosen by the wheel which is random, an entry is basically a ticket or raffle.
