Good evening,

Shadow’s Eve approaches. As the nights grow longer, the barrier between shadow and light all but vanishes. To celebrate this annual festival of darkness, we invite you to build the stuff of nightmares!

Now to answer the big questions:
  • Who: Everyone with building permission in a Club World is eligible to take part. Each club is only eligible for one prize.
  • What: Create a custom representation of the horror movie genre. Want to build a perfect replica of a gruesome set? How about a recreation of a scream-inducing scene? Let your imagination run wild and your blood run cold.
  • When: Builds must be submitted by 4PM PDT, October 31st. The winner and runners up will be announced on Friday, November 4th with a featured spot on our livestream!
  • How: Post a screenshot in our official contest forum thread with the following info: the name of your Club World (not just the world ID number) and instructions for finding your build. If we can’t find it easily, we can’t consider it.

What do you get for undertaking this big ol’ build?
  • Grand Prize – A Mega Piñata (800 piñatas) and a Cubic Creations blog promoting your Club World’s history and showing off your build in greater detail.
  • Runners Up (5) – Ultimate Piñata Party with 100 piñatas and a Club Phone to bring players to your Club World. We’ll also publish a Cubic Creations blog to highlight all five builds.
We’re opening this contest up now with the deadline (no pun intended) almost 4 weeks later. You can create something that covers a lot of ground or build something smaller that really focuses on the details.

Each Cubic Creation will be judged based on creativity, which is very subjective. Some great builds may not be selected for prizes, but we will pick additional builds to promote via social media so players all around the world can enjoy your masterpieces.

Our community of creators are so talented it’s scary. Knock ‘em dead, Trovians!

I was feeling pretty good about Defiant Few's entry until I saw some of these builds. You guys really pulled out the stops, there's some mind-blowing work in this contest! Well, I still feel...

The only way to post images is if you upload it to a third party site. Imgur seems to work well. You can upload the screenshot to Imgur, copy the URL for the pic and paste it in the forums between [img] and [/img]. The system works the same for everyone, so that should work normally. The screenshot will help me identify the location of the build. If you can't include one, give as much detail as possible, and we'll do our best.

If a single person can make multiple entries in multiple club worlds worth considering that would be impressive. No one gets more than one prize though.

Update!
The time has come. The winners of the Shadow's Eve Houses of Horrors contest have been selected.

This was not an easy contest to judge. There are so many amazing creations that it was nearly impossible to reach a final decision. In the end we were able to do it, but even if you don't win one of the prizes for this contest, your creations were still incredibly impressive.

The Grand Prize build can be found in right here! This build gets top honors for being a massive undertaking as well as being so creative in displaying the various elements of the build.

It's a mag rider track that winds through a sprawling collection of builds based on a series of horror films (and a ghost-based comedy). I was genuinely blown away by this amazing work.

The Ring
Trick 'R Treat

I am listing the runners up below without images because I want to save the heavy lifting for the blogs that will go out next week. Codes for prizes have been sent to the person who posted the entry. Be sure to check your forum messages.

Runners Up

/joinworld Bloody Knights
/joinworld Ancient Reverie
/joinworld Express Force
/joinworld Loose Gear
/joinworld CEBEP

Thanks again to everyone who submitted an entry to this contest. We can't thank you enough for the amazing builds you've created!

Enter as many different builds as you can make, but one big build will be more likely to win than a large group of really small builds. If your small build is really epic, you'll have a real shot....

Hi! 1. I'll look at every entry, so be sure to give good directions to the build. Once I zone in, if I don't see the build and don't know where to go, I'll split. 2. I'll post a blog announcing...

Unfortunately Cornerstone builds aren't eligible. If you build outside of that area you'll lose all of it when the world resets. Plus, we wouldn't be able to easily visit and explore. We have to...

Make sure to provide directions so we can check it out.

Wow, you're blowing my mind with these creations! I don't even know what to say. This is going to be a very hard decision to come to. Keep the amazing creations coming!

Still several hours left to submit entries! Thanks so much for everyone who took part. Amazing work all around. :)

Thanks again, everyone! Closing the thread and we'll go through all the builds again to settle on the winners. Thanks for everyone who took part! The winners will be announced on Friday, featured...

Another update: Still working on picking winners. You folks really killed it (pun intended). The issue is just shaving the list down enough to be able to pick winners. I'll keep working on it until I...

Hey all, I am very sorry about the delay on picking a winner. It has been amazing to check out these creations and I have a short list. Unfortunately, I had to undergo some dental surgery...
