Fancy Finery Contest

Test your talents by making a special something to mark a momentous occasion!

4th Whirled Content Contest: Fancy Finery
Deadline July 5th, 2008 On an average day, Whirled is a place to meet up with friends to kick back, relax, and have fun chatting and playing with friends new and old. Every now and again, though, life passes us extraordinary days. Balls, weddings, feasts and festivals all give us chance to put on a new pair of shoes, add some extra shine to our ensemble, and make a trip to an extra special place to gather with friends. It is up to you to provide these special touches as you take the Whirled to new heights of finery. We're looking for Avatars, Furniture, Decor and decorated Rooms for special occasions and once-in-a-lifetime events. The top entries should be well-executed and creative. All content should be your own original work.

Check out the information and tips on how to create avatars, how to create furniture, how to create decor and how to edit your room!
