	2019 Spring Decorating Contest Contest Winners Announced! Winners have been announced! We'll have a gallery up here and on social media in the days ahead, but for now, watch March's KI Live near the conclusion of the show for the winner list. Congrats to all participants, you have some truly amazing decorating talents! The Contest It’s Spring cleaning time! That can mean only one thing... a decorating contest, of course! Today kicks off our first Spring Decorating Contest. It’s time to sweep the dust under the rugs and repaint the walls whatever color suits your fancy. Put your decorating skills to the ultimate test and share your creations with the rest of the community throughout the contest period! You’ll get a chance to win some great prizes, plus tons of decorating tips and design sneak peeks from other participants! We’ll be awarding prizes and even featuring the winners on March’s KI Live. There is also a version of this contest for Wizard101 players, so you can enter both! Visit the contest's official forum post to talk about the contest and share your decorating tips! HOW TO ENTER Choose a Ship Cabin or House to decorate. Ask other players for resources and advice! Pick a category to enter, then decorate until you can’t decorate no more. The fun of this contest is in planning where that aquarium will go or where the pets will roam around. Once you’re happy with the results, capture the best screenshot or video of your home and send it to us. Take your time - you have the entire contest entry period to consider the design! Submit screenshots (MAX of 4 w/one that includes the UI!) or video (MAX of 1, 60 seconds or less) to community@pirate101.com.

CAPTURE TIPS Set your computer’s graphics settings as high as they can go, and ensure the resolution is maxed (preferably 1920x1080 if you have the option). For screenshot captures, even if the game runs slow at this point, all that matters for the contest is a nice still screenshot. For video captures, videos must be no longer than 60 seconds. Frame the shot for max emotional and “wow factor” impact. Consider lighting conditions. Feel free to include some friends in the shot for added social flair.
