Hello This thread is for asking questions or asking for assistance concerning anything to do with the monthly farm contests.

1. Before asking for help please ensure that you have read all the first posts in the following threads:

-Best Farm Contest!
-How to Link your Farm to the Forum
-How Do I Post A Picture? Facebook Players
-How Do I Post A Screenshot? Myspace Players
-Contest Help (this post you are reading now)

All of the above can be found in the contest section of the forum.

If you have read all those posts and have followed all the directions included within them but are still having problems, post here.

2. For assistance with either a farm link or a photo we absolutely need to have your Facebook or Myspace ID number or an address to your profile. To find your profile address, go to your Profile and copy the link that appears in your address bar. Do not include your email address in your post.

Your address should resemble one of the following:

3. We are just so very pleased with the amount of players that have participated in the contests. Because of the huge turn outs the forum team needs your full co-operation in keeping everything running smoothly.

-do not post in this thread unless you have a question about the contest or need help with the contest. No off topic posts please.

-while we appreciate all user feedback and suggestions, please do not share your thoughts or ideas here in this thread. Please refer to one of the other sections of the forum that would apply to your post the best.

-any post that is not a question or a request for help will need to be removed by one of the moderators.

Thank you for participating in the Best Farm Contest. We are so looking forward to checking out all the amazing farms you all have created!

Hello The poll hasn't been closed yet so we are not sure what it will be. On the 1st, when the contests opens, it will be announced in the top post of the contest thread.

Would you please define "Most Realistic Working Farm" in the sense is the theme to produce a working farm as seen in rural areas, mostof the facilitys would not be found on a realistic farm, they would be on industrail estate...and what type of working farm ? you can find small homes on small farms and mansions on ranch farms...farms differ in different countries....so would like a clearer definition on the theme and what is required...thanks.

Hello

Realistic like the kind of farm you pass by driving down the road in the country. Nothing is 'required', create what you think is best. We are all just doing this for fun and won't get super picky or technical about the whole thing.

I asked the same thing, because to me, they said this theme is called : " A working real farm", to me? That means a real working farm, barn, animal's, crops, just like a real farm.
They do say dont be so picky, its all in fun, and it is fun, yet, when asked for a theme, I like many others, like to try our best to make it look like you are on a real working farm.
If then they say, it doesnt matter? then why add a theme in the first place?
Because there is many other things I would have liked to submit. confusing.

Many people voted for a theme and liked the idea. Everyone's idea of what a real working farm should look like is different. That is the reason why I said do what you feel is best. Nobody said it doesn't matter, we said we won't get super picky about it, because, again, everyone will have a different idea about what is 'right'. This is all just for fun.

l think there was some kind of requirement for the easter farm that many of us were not aware of (that only easter items be used?)
So, like Chris above, l'd like to know if there are any kind of requirements ie. any items that we shouldn't use? After all people who have lots of land may use some of it for a daughter's wedding, for an outdoor mother's day BBQ, or may rent some land to others, like a small carnival.
So, any requirements or items that would cause exclusion?
