Sacred Spaces Winners

  Congratulations to everyone who participated in the Sacred Spaces contest. It was a very close contest in terms of judging. Our winners all had nearly perfect scores, and were within a few points of each other. That trend continued throughout all of the scores. Everyone did an amazing job!

  The full list of videos can be viewed at the Sacred Spaces playlist on YouTube. Any new videos will be added to this list, and announced in the Sacred Spaces video tour thread on the Norrathian Homeshow forums.

  All contestants, please be on the lookout for a special prize from Daybreak over the next few days.

  Participation prizes are still being granted, so do not worry if you haven't received yours yet; you're still on the list to receive your prize.

  Mail any questions or concerns to homesandtomes@gmail.com

  Thank you very much for participating in the Sacred Spaces 2015 competition. We hope you had as much fun participating as we did running it!

Sacred Spaces Video Tours Update!

  The Sacred Spaces Video Tours thread has been updated with the three most recent videos.

  I highly recommend stopping by the various homes in person. The videos don't do them justice at all, and stopping by means that you'll be able to show your appreciation via the leaderboards.

  As I am on vacation, I will be unable to do video tours of the remainder of the contestant entries until I am back home. Don't worry, they'll be done, it'll just take a bit longer.

  I wish the best of luck to all the contestants,

~ Jazabelle

Sacred Spaces: Reminder

  Ladies and gentlemen, there are only a little under 30 hours left to publish your Sacred Space!

August 9, 11:59 PM PST: Homes must be completed with all requirements met, and posted on the Leaderboards with "SS2015" somewhere in the name.

August 10, 12:00 AM PST: Judging begins.

August 16, 11:59 PM PST: Judging ends.

August 17, sometime during the morning or afternoon PST: Winners announced

August 24, 11:59 PM PST: All prizes to winners should be sent out. If prizes have not been sent out for some reason, winners will be emailed with an explanation and update.

  Please keep in mind that participation prizes are granted after confirmation that your home is published, so it may take a bit longer for them to go out, especially if you haven't yet published your home.

  We look forward to seeing everyone's work over the next eight days as we work hard to judge your entries.

  Remember that the winners are not the "best" homes, just the ones that our judges liked the best--and there's no guarantee that all of the judges agreed, either.

  We wish everyone the best of luck with the judging.

Important Sacred Spaces Update

  Due to the recent days when Everquest II was unplayable, and to the schedules of several judges, the Sacred Spaces competition dates have been changed. We are extending the competition by several weeks. If you have already posted your Sacred Space on the leaderboards, you are welcome to remove it and make any changes you deem appropriate. Do not forget to republish! All homes must be published in order to be considered for judging.

• New end date for decorating: August 9th, 11:59 PM PST
• New start date for judging: August 10th, 12:00 AM PST
• New end date for judging: August 16th, 11:59 PM PST

All prizes should (barring real life conflicts) be sent out by August 24th. We will update the contestants if something happens to prevent their items from being presented by that date.

Happy decorating!
