I built one with a friend of mine, but I don't think it's up anymore and I haven't been around her house recently enough to know if it's still up. We so would have won, though.

sounds pretty cool. I'd join in the fun but i have no place to build a fort. Plus my mom wont let me use the new throw pillows with the cheetahs on em.

Question, how much pillow to sheet ratio we talking about? How much of other objects are we allowed to use? Like tables or boxes?

Mockery

Use as many other objects as you want, just cover it all with pillows or sheets when you're done with it.

Do you have to take pictures of the inside?

Mockery

You don't have to, but the inside is where some of the cool features are (at least in some forts) but it's totally up to you. You can take up to 5 pictures total.

Can we photoshop in monsters and naked ladies? Just so we don't look like total dorks.

Just take a look at the fort piece we did:

You can do pretty much anything that you see in there, but come up with your own fort ideas, cuz we're not looking to see who can copy our forts. Get creative as ya want with these things...

I was going through the rules again. Noticed that you said fort(s).
Now for the pictures, is it 5 pictures per fort/entry? or 5 pictures total.

Per fort entry. So if you make 2 different forts, you could have 10 pictures (5 per fort).

Can it be a group submission. I have a few friends that wanted to help out.. is that acceptable or is it a 1-man contest? :/

Have as many people help as you want, there's nothing wrong with that. Just understand that if you were to win, there would still be only the one prize and not prizes for everyone who helped you.

Awesome. By the way... that is the coolest minimock ever!

Hehe, it's definitely one of my favorites. Any time a bunch of us get-together to do a photo piece, no matter what we're doing, it's always a lot more fun for me to work on than the other pieces I normally do for the site.

I wish I could of sent more pictures... I had so many more of me as unicycilist ninja. Inside the fort and out.

But I do have a follow-up question... what about all the fort makers up in Canada? are we worthy?

Just remember the contest ends March 15th, so there's a little over a week left to enter. If I don't get enough entries, I'll just cancel the contest and send free stickers to the few people who did take the time to enter.

Well i'll do a quick one if needed, aren't people participating? :(

I'll do one.

Nine days, huh?

Total of 3 entries so far. Considering some of the recent contests we've held had 40+ entries, that's pretty sad. So either people have been constructing massive forts that they'll send in photos for during the last couple o' days, or people are just being lazy because this contest requires them to step away from their computer for a little while.

Yep... probably the later.

Wooo! 3 Entrys! I am bound to place!

I took my pictures a couple of days ago. It's not my camera though, so I need to get the camera back to it's owner before I can send it to you, RoG. But it's pretty badass :eek

Damn, I guess I'm the only one in touch with my inner, fort building child.

Can you still post the images of those who did submit? I want to see what the other 2-3 where like.

Mockery

Sure, when I get the chance I'll be happy to post them here. Just kinda busy at the moment. But I'll be sure to get around to posting those few entries sooner or later...
