I did not use pics of the Home Page to post this info, but rather copy and pasted it, due to some big and important changes to this year's competition that needed highlighting.  One is very good, and one can be construed to be either very bad, or very fair.


VFK Fourth Annual Sandcastle Competition

It's the height of summer, and the conditions are just right for shoveling, shaping and smoothing the perfect sandcastle!

Rooms can be entered in the Sandcastle Competition anytime between Saturday, August 3rd and Saturday, August 10th, 2013 at 9:00 A.M. (Pacific Time).

And with so many sandcastle and beach items to choose from (not to mention the approaching 2013 Sandcastle Collection) your imagination will run wild!

Also, based on some of the great input found on the Developer Blog, this year's sandcastle competition will include an additional category for entries that are not focused on sandcastle construction but just fun in the sun rooms, all about the expression of creativity and the development of themes, settings and ambience!

So when you are building or judging make sure to consider the new category!


Please make sure to read and follow all directions before submitting your entry.

1. To register for the contest, you need to go to the room you want to enter. Click on the "I" button for your room, and then click "enter contest." The competition entry form will be displayed. Then, just fill out the entry form to submit your room in the competition. Any furni in the room will be automatically stored.

2. You may enter one room per character. The deadline for entering is 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time (Noon Eastern Time), Saturday, August 10th, 2013.

3. In the Sandcastle Room Contest having others help you with your room is okay. (Only the owner of the room receives the awards.)

4. You may enter any type of room for the Sandcastle Competition. Including rides, as long as they do not exit the entry room. All teleporters must not exit to another room.

5. Rooms in the competition will be locked one hour before judging starts, and you will be unable to make any farther changes to your entry.

6. The final results will be in 2 categories, the first being the best sandcastles and the second being the most original and creative summer entries!

The top 5 places in our Sandcastle Competition will receive:

There is a new post on the Developer Blog today, that is there for suggestions and opinions regarding the issue of clearing the entry room.

It also, clarifies that while the entry dates are the 3rd to the 10th of August, building time is actually two weeks long, as judging will not start until August 17th.



So, if you have any opinions or suggestions, make your voice be heard, go to devblog.epicages.com and speak your mind.

Fourth Annual Sandcastle Competition Update!
By VFK Development Team | Friday August 02, 2013 @ 02:54 pm Central Time

Everybody had some great ideas about the Sandcastle Competition!
The consensus seems to be that having 2 weeks to build and clearing the room at the start is what most people would like.
Good luck to everyone on the Sandcastle Competition!

The popup also lets you know that by entering: "This will REMOVE ALL items from this room, this cannot be undone!"

You can then type title and room description for contest.
