☆ As soon as your contest round ends, create a post that says "ROUND 1 CLOSED" to avoid confusion and late entries. Also, edit your first post to include what round your contest is on.
☆ You may only open one contest at a time; either single or multi-round. You may not have a contest open in each section at the same time. Additional contests will be closed.
☆ There should be only one contest of any theme at any one time. Before you start a contest, search the section to be sure there aren't any similar contests already open.
☆ You may not offer a prize of Fashionista dollars, attitude, or pop.
☆ You must post the winners of your contest within 24 hours after your contest closes. Your thread will be closed 24hours after your contest ends. Post your results in your contest thread. Do not make a new topic just to announce your winners.
☆ As soon as your contest closes, create a post that says "CLOSED" to avoid confusion and late entries. Contact The Moderator to add CLOSED to your title. Include a link to your contest in the message.
☆ After you post your contest results, please notify The Moderator. Include a link to your contest in the message.
☆ Contest threads are for entries only. No chat allowed unless it is a part of the host's format.
☆ Upon request, contest threads may be left open 24 hours after results have been posted to allow participants to give the hosts feedback. This is the only time chatting is allowed in the contest threads. Please stay on topic.
☆ Do not advertise your contest in other threads, on players' profiles, or private messages.
☆ If you've sent a request to The Moderator notifying her that you've posted results for your current contest, that completes your responsibility for that contest. You may open a new contest as soon as you've sent this request. You don't have to wait for your old contest thread to be closed.
For Participants:
☆ It is your responsibility to be aware of the time limits of multi-round contests. If you fail to post your image on time, the host may disqualify you instantly.
☆ Use your own images that were created on this site ONLY. You may not use images from the web or other game sites. Violating this rule will disqualify you from the contest and you will receive an official warning and/or ban.
☆ You are not allowed to enter a contest round if you missed a previous round or were disqualified.
☆ Contest threads are for entries only. No chat allowed unless it is a part of the host's format.
☆ Upon the host's request, contest threads may be left open 24 hours after results have been posted to allow participants to give the hosts feedback. This is the only time chatting is allowed in the contest threads. Please stay on topic.
☆ Do not enter contests that have Closed in their titles and/or a post by the host that says Closed.
How To:
You can download an image of your Fashionista using the option on of the Goodies Page or the camera in the bottom right corner of your closet. Then upload your image to an image hosting site. Finally, insert the link to your uploaded image in your post with the following BBcode:
Code:

Please Note:
☆ If a player violates the contest rules three times, that player will be prevented from hosting and/or participating in contests for 30 days.
Additional Information:
☆ If you're hosting a multi-round contest that is no longer in round one, you may close early if all of your participants have posted.
☆ Hosts have the option of allowing players to create posts to interacting with each other. This needs to be listed in the first post of the contest.
☆ Listing winners isn't important to most of the SWC part of the LaF community. If the host adds a final story or epilogue and then says something like, "thank you all for participating" that's still results.
