This is an individual room competition. You must submit your registration following our guidelines below:

1. The room MUST BE NAMED in the following way:
"Gingerbread House (your player name)"

2. When you register ONLY PROVIDE your player name and the name of the room you are entering in the competition.

3. Gingerbread Houses/Rooms will be judged by the following categories:

When registration opens, you will find the VMK Gingerbread Competition Registration option in the 'Contact Us' menu. 'Contact Us' is located at the bottom of any vmk.com webpage.

When you register please make sure that you enter a valid email address that can receive messages from us. Registration will close when we have received 2000 player entries, the registration option will be removed from the 'Contact Us' menu. We will reply to the players that qualified during open registration.

Again, only the first 2000 players that follow the registration guidelines and enter the contest when registration is open will be judged.

I entered my room a little while ago and and have already got a confromation from them.

Since there is a limit of 2000 I would go and enter my room as soon as possible. They wont start the judging until the day after Christmas so you still have more then a week to build your room.

[JPL]

I enter last night as well and got an e-mail confirnation

[Chescat]

After harrassment by JP, I entered the contest also. At least I got something done last night thanks to Dino and Nachocat to get in entered.

I just want that purple flag to match my other two.

Actually I dont think we have to sit in our rooms and wait. Especially since the judging lasts over 2 weeks that would be a bit crazy to do. Even if they expected this you probably wouldn't have to do it. I know during the Space Ride Competition I was in WDW riding the real space mtn while my room was judged.

Looks like they got their 2000 people already vmk has updated the message from yesterday.

Personally I think this is terrible the registration was open for maybe 24 hours at the most. I don't understand why they are only allowing 2000 people to enter. What happened if for some reason yesterday you where unable to enter then today you where going to only to find out that it has closed already. In my opinion if they are taking more then two weeks to judge then they should really have allowed more. I'm just happy I was able to register yesterday. Sorry for all those who missed out

Oh Can i help you lose things when you build it and rebuild it and rebuild it again and again. I need some entertainment.

I guess this what Nachocat meant when she said sarcastic

And just think right now I am being good for

[Patricia]

Hmm.. I registered incorrectly the first time. Using the wrong name for my room, so I registered again.

I hope that worked.

[chrisb26]

As long as you got an email saying

"Thank you for regestering" or something to that affect I believe your fine.

[Chescat]

I heard a lot of people double registered. I'm wondering if that's why the 2000 went so fast. I hope its not.

I made sure you weren't around that night that I built it. And no I won't lose ice pieces behind it since I didn't use ice this time.

You have been behaving considering genie calls you the grinch!

[WDWfanatic742]

I have no doubt that at least a quarter of the people who registered, registered different accounts of their own. Just the nature of most players who play VMK, people believe that your not cool unless you win something. Unfortunately, there really is no way in seeing if the person has another account registered or not.

[Marla]

Congratulations to all of you that entered and good luck. I was on vacation (at DLR) and was unable to register before the registration closed.

Aww

AWWW SNAPS!!! I forgot to register Monkey since he has the flag for the slide competition. Lol! So much for a complete set haha!

[Thumper03]

We missed it too...and even had some rooms ready.

Though this is the first time in a long time that I had the urge to make a new room...I love the gingerbread stuff, and I'm off work until Jan 2nd...that's what I call inspiration.

Oh well, Fan and I will just have to room hop to our Icot family for support.

[OhGee]

I received a second email two days ago that said thank you for registering and listed the rules again. I hope that means I registered correctly. lol I must have read those instructions at least three times to make sure I registered correctly. If we had questions about how to register, I can imagine the amount of kids who didn't do it right. There might be a lot of disappointed kids who's room won't be judged because of a technicality.

Good luck to everyone who entered!

[Chescat]

You would think that they would get it right after all these events. This happens everytime. What I meant by the double registering is not the mules, but the number of people that resubmitted because the rules were clarified after people submitted. You would hope they have in place a system that throws out double entries. That sure could be an evil way for people to make sure less people join up.

I did get two emails also.

Thanks JP, Dino and Genie for the help last night. And no, I'm not starting the room over.

[trackbarroness]

Good luck to all who managed to enter the competition. I was unaware of the competition or I would have entered some how.
At least I don't have to go scary trying to set up a room to be judged this time around.
Lololol

[LittleDragonErin]

So "Gingerbread House LittleDragonErin" doesn't fit. But "Gingerbread House Little Dragon" does. Should I use that or just "Gingerbread House"?
