Galactic Home Show - Spring 2023

#1

Post by Cozdragon » Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:12 am

Welcome to the Spring Galactic home decorating competition.

This Spring the theme will be “Species Showcase”. You may choose any building type, but will then need to choose a species to showcase, and decorate to your heart’s content. You could choose to enter a house that’s already decorated, adapt a current house or start a new one from scratch. You may select any species within Star Wars lore, and create the perfect relaxation space, recreate a key event in their history, create a museum to educate others. You may also wish to consider the profession attributes of your species. As long as it showcases the species you have chosen and is family friendly you are welcome to be as creative as you can be.

If you wish to enter a building, please contact Coz with the waypoint, planet, building name, your chosen theme and player/discord name. You could do this via: the forum post, or by direct messaging in discord. Entries will need to be submitted by Monday April 3rd at 11.59pm PDT. (Tuesday 4th April 7.59am BST, or 2.59am EDT)

As always, the SR staff will judge, however, if a member of staff chooses to participate, they will be excluded from the judging panel.


Judging criteria:
Each player’s decorating skills are judged out of 10 against each of the following criteria. These scores will be added together to create the final score.

Creativity

Judges will look at how items are used. This is about using items in unusual ways to create an effect, or another item. This is also about how space is used – this may include making the decision to create additional spaces within the room, or blocking off areas.

Questions staff will consider:
Have items been used for their intended purpose or repurposed? E.g using a jewelry setting to create a button.
Repurposing items in a creative way will gain more points. E.g. using wood staffs to create a large cage.
Have smaller items been used in coordination with others to make a new item entirely?
Has space in the building been used in a creative way to explore the theme?

Theme

Points are awarded for reflecting the theme and how it is maintained through the house. The theme this time is to create a species showcase. You may wish to include items that give a backstory to the theme, use vendors, etc to help clarify what judges are seeing.

Questions staff will consider:
Does the decoration fit the theme?
Is the chosen species clearly identified by the content, or storyline depicted?
How strongly is the theme reflected in the house?
Are the items in the house named in a way to echo/support the theme?
Do vendors help tell a story, or contribute to the theme?

Overall Feel

Judges will consider the impression and impact of the building and how they contribute to the atmosphere created. Be sure to consider renaming items, including the building itself to help with this. You may also wish to use vendors etc.

Questions staff will consider:
Have items been renamed to contribute to the environment?
Has the space been decorated to reflect the theme?
Is the space clearly organized so that you are able to view elements?
Has the space been used effectively to add to the atmosphere?

waypoint, planet, building name, your chosen theme and player/discord name

I would like to enter The Mall at Bantha Vista. It is on Dantooine in Bantha Vista. The theme is bursting through the embers of creation into a watery Mon Cal. The mall is watered with a fountain feature and some technology around just at Mon Cals enjoy.

Dantooine 1000, 2050 (Bantha Vista), The Mall BV, Mon Calamari, Danhausen

The Galactic Home Show is now open for viewings. You can take the free taxi tour starting from Coronet.

I've also included the waypoints for those of you who might have homes at one of those locations so you can start the circle at the location of your choice. The order of houses for the tour were selected randomly using a random generator.

I will arrange runners up prizes over the next few days and place them in the buildings. Please note this may take longer than usual..I’d planned this before my folks were coming.

The next deco content will be to celebrate our birthday in August, so look out for details in June.
