I'm looking to pad out our Herbarium so this month's contest will be a DAP (Design a Plant).

Your entries don't have to be about plants with special properties or man-eating legends or anything fantastical at all, but I want plants that are native to EF. These can include anything from night bloomers or trees that only blossom when Selene and Neme are closest together; giant plants, rare plants, poisonous plants, dangerous plants, beautiful plants, exotic plants, garden-variety plants; bushes, shrubs, trees, flowers, weeds, grasses, mosses, reeds, vines... You name it: if it's a plant, you can enter it!


To submit::

• Read the Submissions page. All entries should be posted on the wiki in the herbarium as a draft, then a link posted here.
  
  
• You may submit any plant of your own design (you may take inspiration from other sources, but the result should be uniquely yours).
  
  
• No copying, plagiarism, etc!
  
  
• You can submit artwork as well as a written description but the art must be yours.

Disclaimers::

• Even if you win, we may not be able to use your design. Some just don't fit into the mythology of Elysia so while we will do our best to introduce them, we may simply decide it's not possible. We apologise if that's the case, but don't worry! You'll still keep your prize. ^^
  
  
• We may use entries that haven't actually won the contest if we feel they fit well enough but only the winning entry will win a prize (others can, however, claim the Submissions rewards from the Prize Shop.
  
  
• Please note that in entering this contest you are agreeing to let Elysian Fields use your creation, in whole or in part, whether or not you remain an active member. You are also granting us and other members permission to edit your submission in the future.

Awards::

Everyone who enters will receive ζ100 as well as the Submission reward(s) if your entry is approved and published.

The winner will receive the DAP trophy for their cabinet as well as ζ500 (on top of the above prizes).


Deadlines::

To enter: 24th 27th
To vote: 30th 5th of October

Memememememe!

Rakeri mushrooms!

*hipbumps Kiel* Move over, 'vari! Make way for the sexier man coming in.

But you know I kid.

I can has one, too! Introducing the Shadow Blossom! Which really isn't as magnificent as it looks but hey, what the hell, right?

[Xanth]

Since I won't be online over the weekend (birthday noms, yay! ) I've decided to extend the deadline for this contest to next Monday instead (the 27th) to give people more time to enter while I'm away.

So, have fun creating!

Hi ho!

[Xanth]

The poll is now up for voting, which ends on the 5th of October. Please remember to only vote once (and not for yourself ).

Thank you to both Liv and Amber for their entries!

[Xanth]

Well, we only got one vote so far, so I'm extending the voting until the weekend (it doesn't seem right ending it now ¬_¬). Please vote by the 9th!

[Xanth]

First of all, huge thanks to both Liv and Amber for entering, and to everyone who voted. Now, on to the winner!

We actually have a tie between the shadow blossom and the fire lily, so congratulations to Liv! (and myself) You get a nifty trophy and the promised ζ500, as well as the ζ100 and ζ50 submission awards.

Thank you both again for entering! I hope you'll consider participating in October's Exploring Elysia, too!
