Ok I am not too creative on this front. But here is what I would do--were I to hold a contest anyway, in the format of yours, I would do something similar to this.

Contest: Favorite Animal In Existence contest!

Description: This is not just a "post a picture of your favorite animal and say why" contest. This is gonna be heartwarming, heartbreaking, and fun loving. Have people enter with a story: one of the animal that has most impacted their life; a hilarious story about their pet; that dog that saved them from the well; etc. A picture helps but is not necessary and shouldn't affect the contestant's winning or not.

Prizes:Choice of cuddle buddies from the Carnival Shop (if you choose my contest I can help you purchase some of them! I have a lot of tickets), or perhaps some animals from Esther's shop (though since it's Vesnali now maybe that wouldn't work so well). There are also a lot of animal items, and some are under 1 million, if you choose mine I will scour the wardrobe and look for all I can find, haha.

Am I missing anything? :o Good luck to all who have entered!

I am really looking forward to what you choose, there are so many good ideas! <3

How are you doing today? Love your HA I need to get one of those new items! XD

I had different contest ideas this week, mostly they had to do something either with dressing the ha like something you like or dislike or the Troll or drawing something like your favourite pet or something else.

I liked this idea very much:

It is a ha contest^^

Try to dress your ha like yourself!

We think we often dress the ha like something else something new and i think it would be interesting how you would dress it if you would dress it like yourself. How do you see yourself? Every items can be used.

The Winners should be picked via random generator and you could your personal favourite. The Prizes can be wishlist items or sp vouchers since this is a personal contest. you can decide how much you want to spend and if you want i can help you to buy some of the prizes but i´m very poor at the moment^^

Another ha idea could be to dress it like you would describe your personality.

- Yay! I'm so excited ^.^!

I will be posting the new contest soon! I am doing dailies to get the sP to buy all of the prizes then I will send out the prizes and post the contest early since I won't be on tonight when it hits midnight. I am excited as well!

[edit] I also changed about some of the prizes. Just to have more variety and easier on my pocketbook lol. I hope that you like them.

- I figured that the prizes might need to be changed! I wasn't sure about the budget for it, but I thought making suggestions might help with finding other things that would work instead. Can't wait ^.^.

[edit]Oh, before I forget, I have an extra if you want to use it as a prize.

if you want to donate it to the contest I will gladly take it. As I chose that and the butterflies for the contest thread.

- I sent it your way! And I definitely have to get to work on a HA and description.

I still don't have my fairy ready, but I would like to pick the category: Most Unique Fairy since you said we should pick soon. I will work on my fairy and post it soon! =D

What do you think about the prizes? To your standards love?

- I think they are fantastic! I'm sorry if I suggested ones that would cost too much!

you got it babe. I will have you as first in that entry!

O honey its fine lol. I went with 90% of your ideas other than the books and what not because they were going for 5 mil a piece. I am glad you like them though I was worried.

Oooh I like this first contest idea! I would like to enter =) Is there a limit to how long the description is? Are you also looking for a description that just describes the HA's theme or a character development type story? I was looking over your example and it felt more like a story about the character.

There is no limit to how long your description is no. I will ask that you put it in a spoiler box though as to not stretch out your posts and make it wonkey for others. If you don't know how I will post how to under this post. I am looking for a complete description of your fairy. My story was about how she became who she was. If you would rather it be just a vague description on where she comes from or even just where it comes from that is fine. I would love to just have you guys use your imagination on this. As long as I can read through it and know who the fairy in your HA is it is correct. That make sense?

I will, of course, be doing the scary fairy.

Makes sense to me, thanks!

ooh can i enter a *pretty** fairy? i love me some flowers and sparkles :3

- Aww, don't worry! I'm just glad you liked my idea!
