For the Christmas events this year, Street Obsessions decided to offer some fun to players that don't necessary have the time to join online events or events that have a set date (Like me). We then decided on a trio of competitions that you, the player, can do in your own spare time! All the events will run all the way till December 31st 2016. Let's have fun!


The first event will be held in Minecraft. We choose this game because pretty much everybody has it and it's universal fun for everyone. Here's the rules for this first competition:

- Player has to create a house, any material allowed
- The house can be divided in multiple buildings if need be
- The house HAS to be in a snow biome
- The theme around the construction has to be Winter/Christmas/Festivities
- Player can use Creative mode to create said house

- Player can submit his entry directly here. Some screenshots and a savefile of the house has to be submitted.
- Entries have to be sent before December 23rd 23:59 EST

- The winner will be determined by the community.

The winner of this competition will be awarded 20$CAD in Steam credits.
A minimum of 10 participants is required for the prize to be given away.

So it'll be awesome if people would participate, right? I mean, don't you want that extra 20$ in your Steam account for boxing day sales? It's all up to you.

OKAY I'll sign up!

Because A: I need something to build, and B: I'm bored.
Am I allowed to build a big sitting room with christmas fireplace instead?

Stage 4.

Interior roof style: Dark oak around the edges with spruce in the centre. Beams are continued from the outer supporting posts. Just need to clear out the snow and some unwanted guests.

Stage 5.

Ground floor mosaic tiled flooring done. Will most likely cover it with carpet in some places and replace with something else for the kitchen area. Fine for now.

The main ground floor entrance is to the left of the front garden enclosure area.

Snap. Minecraft W10 Beta decided it doesn't want to load my world anymore and when it does it doesn't render the world and runs at 2fps. Going to restart in regular Minecraft Smile

I don't see how you'll be able to pull this off, but i'd be interested to see that. You can do that if you want.

Mine's ready to go. I'll upload screenshots later. I had fun regardless of whether the minimum number of people entered Smile

Good job to everybody that participated. Unfortunately there were not enough participants for the grand prize to be given away.

Remember that we still have a LFS autocross competition and a small Speedrun of Super Mario World Until Dec. 31st!
