Tempmas 2015 Announcement

Good morning/evening/afternoon Tempers!
Today is the start of Tempmas 2015! Woohoooo!

For those of you not in the know, every year GBAtemp runs a Tempmas themed competition where you, our lovely members, get the chance to have some fun and win some top prizes!


This year we would like you to design a Tempmas inspired/themed Christmas Decoration. For a few ideas, any of the following options would make viable entries:

At the bare minimum, a piece of decoration that is GBAtemp themed and have it on display.
It can literally be anything from some small GBAtemp style Christmas tree decoration, or a whole tree decorated in a GBAtemp style, to a GBAtemp poster or sign hung up in your home.
These are just a few ideas for context.


This year's prizes are:

*DRUM ROLL*

1st place: A brand new New Nintendo 3DS
2nd place: A video game of your choice for any current platform
3rd place: An amiibo of your choice (hmn we need an amiibo smiley )

Rules

• The decoration must contain the words "Tempmas 2015" with your username somewhere.
• Take pictures of the creative process so you can prove you made your entry.
• Please upload your submissions to GBAtemp, filetrip or imgur and link to them in a post in this thread. I will disregard any entries sent to me by PM.
• Submit your entry between now and the 24th of December, 23:59 GMT.
• One entry per member. One entry per IP address.
• All content must be your own. Copyrighted content is allowed as long as it falls under fair use.
• GBAtemp Staff judgements are final.

We hope you decide to get into the spirit of things and enter Tempmas 2015! Good luck and

People need to stop worrying so much about the prizes, and start worrying more about participating, contributing, and making a great entry.

We are not going to chop and change what the prizes are to suit people sorry. The prize is a game as we stated, for any platform and as long as its a reasonable price for a retail game. (no £200 special edition box sets etc)

Would hanging my 3DS on my Christmas tree with a custom homebrew app (with an animation or something) running count as an ornament?
edit: oc I'd take a photo and upload it

A few people have asked this, surprisingly, and the answer is no. Although a very thoughtful, creative and interesting idea, entries must be 100% your own creation.

Even if I made my own homebrew to display?

I would assume that if you coded the homebrew yourself then it would count, but that may not be the case...

 

[Buck_7]

So GBAtemp themed means simply having the GBAtemp logo on the decor? In what ways can a Christmas ornament by GBAtemp styled?

 

[Akira]

I'm interested in joining this competition. I mean, I can right? Hopefully I can manage to come up with something before the deadline.

So for the game that the second placer gets, does he pay for the shipping and does the prize include the shipping as well?
Would it also be possible to gift that game to another user if the second placer wants to?

 

[VashTS]

mine is coming along fine so far, just gotta grab a few more pieces tomorrow, then fully assemble and take pics exciting Tempmas!

if this comes out as good as I'm imagining, I feel confident in a win!

Merry Tempmas to all!
