Submissions to Terrain from Junk's second terrain building contest... Closed (well pretty much)

Don't want to be too tight but take this as your final warning.  Email your submissions now!

Comments working again!!!

Wow, well it must've been going on for nearly a month - but nobody mentioned that comments weren't working until this past weekend.  I assume it happened during the template change.
What this means is;

• You can now enter the $40 GC giveaway contest.
• You can also post comments/questions in the second terrain building contest.

A big thank you to ajkempf for pointing it out!

there is an excellent prize available of a complete imperial bastion!  don't forget your entry needs to be suitable to count as a bastion, and your photo needs a piece of paper with "terrain from junk" written on it.

rewarding participation... update!

april introduced the rewards concept, and by the end of the month a follower will receive a reward! whoever has the most participation for one of the three submission categories (randomly selected from; example photos of terrain built with junk, tutorials on building terrain from junk to link, ideas on uses for various pieces of junk) will earn themselves a little bit of loot.

the only requirements are to be a follower and that what you've submitted must be used on the site. here are the standings (photos/tutorials/ideas - name)

0/0/6 - Bitzjunkie

1/1/1 - Cawshis

0/1/0 - Col Corbane

1/0/0 - Dragontigre

5/0/3 - Flamekebab

0/0/1 - Herald of Discord

2/1/0 - Mik

2/1/0 - Screamingabdab

as you can see, Bitzjunkie is well in the lead for idea submission, Flamekebab is holding down the photo submission category and so far the tutorial submission category is up for grabs. but there's still the majority of the month left - so get crackin'!

as always the email address for submitting content is terrainfromjunk@yahoo.com. ideas can be submitted through comments right in the post.

perfect use for any spare plumbing junk you may have, and an interesting new piece of junk - the toothpaste lid.
