Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!



These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two!

The basic rules are as follows:
Spoiler:
» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!

» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a spoiler when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask!

» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety!

» All members are welcome to join, including moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too!


This month's theme is Skyrim In Real Life! We all wish we could wield the awesome power of the Dragonborn, shouting our foes to death and vanquishing dragons to an eternity of servitude as our Thu'um fuel. Unfortunately Skyrim is a video game. None of it is real....yet!

Your job is to create a part of Skyrim in the real world! You can create anything you want in any format you would like. Sand castle depicting High Hrothgar? Go for it. Cosplay of you as someone from the game? Heck yes. An edible version of a tasty treat found in Skyrim? Sounds delicious!

Be creative! Show us what you've got, UESP! Bring a little bit of the world Bethesda crafted into our world and make it all the better.


Our schedule for the January event is as follows:
January 4 – January 25: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
January 26 – January 30: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
January 31: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, Musicman247, and therefore will run according to GMT -6/Central Standard Time. (Click here if you’re unsure when, exactly, that is!)

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

As an aside, if anyone would like to join the street team to help plan and set up the CotM, please send me a PM or visit my wiki talkpage. Until then, have fun and good luck!

(This fun event is hosted by your Mod team. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them within this thread or by sending me a PM by selecting the appropriate button below my signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? Head over to the ideas thread and join in on the discussion!)

Buahaha! Thamoir's entry will be at least one of the best, if not the best. Unless someone else does a funnier one, which I doubt.

I did this some time before Christmas. Try adding syrup to the cake mix and I highly recommend cream cheese for the icing.

I'll decline sampling the "Horker" Stew, thank you.

I'm going to leave the entry period open until Monday just in case someone was waiting until the weekend to submit.
