Hi Farmers!

Welcome to our Official September Competition!!

This month's theme is "Bridges", so here's your opportunity to show us your fabulous farms and enter the contest with a chance to win some Farm Cash!!

There are all kinds of bridges in the world! A bridge typically is a structure used to provide a way to cross over physical obstacles without obstructing the way underneath. For example to cross over waters, roads, valleys. From simple foot bridges to Beam bridges, Suspension, Arch, Covered bridges, Drawbridges to mention a few. The choice is yours!
We have many different bridges available for you to use in the store, like bridges over water, wooden bridges, train bridges. To seach for them, use the search box in the store and type in "bridge". You may want to show us the best use of these items or you may want to design your own bridge using any items available to you in the store. Picture designers if you wish you can design a picture of your favourite bridge in the world.

Bridge(s) must be the main focus of your design and not just a small portion of your farm.

Links to help you:

How do I post a picture for the Contest? Please remember, you must use the Small size while taking your photo as the Regular and Large sizes are too big for the forum. If you choose the wrong size, then we will delete your post and will send you a private message asking you to take a new photo using the right size. NOTICE: Your farm photo MUST be set to Public and remain that way till the winners are announced or we will not be able to help you if your entry needs fixing. To set the photo to Public, please open your Farm town album, and click in your photo. You will see the photo and on the right you will see your name and the date, besides the date you can see who are able to see that photo. Click there and set it to Public.
ALSO, remember to remove the check mark if you have set that farm as PRIVATE, so we can visit it.

Linking your farm to the Forum Please remember we need the link to the farm you are entering.

Contest Help Please post here if you have any questions or requests for help.
