Building Contests 2013: 17 - A Birthday Special

What is a Special Contest?:
A Special Contest is different to regular contests because there is a prize, there has only been one other Special Contest so far, the winner/s will gain SimPoint prizes. This contest is sponsored by Ladybug53 who has generously donated the SimPoints! The Contest Task will be created by the Building Contest Team. The task will not be revealed until the night before the Contest is due to begin. This is being posted early to allow any questions to be asked should there be any. This Contest will be designed to celebrate the forum's fourth birthday!

How will the winner be decided?:
Ladybug53 has decided that the winner will be determined as in the regular contests - with a poll. The community will vote for entry that best matches the specifications and deserves the prize.

The Prize:
Ladybug53 is very generously offering a substantial prize for the winner and also a smaller prize for the runners up - adding to a grand total of 4000 SimPoints. First Prize will be a sum of 2000 SimPoints, then the two runners up will both receive 1000. In the event of a tie the prize will be distributed differently and fairly depending on the results. In the event of a tie for first place the prize will be split between both and there will be no runner up prizes.

The prize will be in the form of Gifted Items or Sets from the recipients wishlist due to a restriction on gifting SimPoints to people in different countries. The winner and runners up will have to discuss with Ladybug53.

What is the task?:
The task will appear in the second post of the main thread on the 24th of August. It will be in the same format as previous Contests.

Where to ask questions?:
Depending on the question you may wish to ask in the main contest thread thread where we will do our best to answer. If you feel you would rather keep it private as you don't want anyone else using your idea then do PM samoht04, Lilygirl and Ausette. It is best we all receive the PM so that a response can be made quickly.
