The Twist:

( Be sure to tell the Judges how you used each of the 5 items and how they worked into your dorm room theme and design.)
Putting an item in the corner and saying, oh I dropped that over there, doesn't give the reason why you used that item.

The meaning of Inside the dorm walls. This means You may sink items into wall for a feel but if you have to go outside the wall space to take a screenshot , it's a no.

How to take a Screenshot!
( Advice is to close chat box)
Players can quickly take a screenshot now using the Print Screen button on their keyboard. This will save the file in your C:/Program Files/KingsIsle Entertainment/Wizard101/Bin folder (note this will capture your entire screen, so if you are running Wizard windowed, it will capture everything on your screen) You will see the following text to let you know you took a screenshot. In your email make sure to state which image is A,B or C

Another way to take a screenshot using your Print Screen button. Follow these steps:
while in the game, press Alt+PrtScn buttons
Alt+Tab to desktop and start MSPaint or similar application
create new image file
press Ctrl+V or otherwise paste the clipboard content
save the file in a safe place you'll remember 

(Desktop is what I use) I would name your screenshot A,B or C

You can then either drag your screenshot into your email or add it as attachment to email to my contest email.

    Hi Paige! My wizard name is Daniel Legendhunter, fire wizard. I was just curious if the theme itself is supposed to be like night and day in general, or is it like what a dorm room should look like in the night and day time specifically. My question is can any part of the dorm look like it is outside rather than inside the dorm?

  2. Example: Design your dorm to represent "Night and Day ( It can be literal or philosophical - meaning opposites.

    Everything must be inside the dorm room walls. You may sink items into the walls though you can't show anything of the outside space.

    I hope this answers your question.

  4. Hi Paige, I was wondering if it would be ok to have different wallpapers in a couple of the screenshots? It's part of the story.

  5. Dear PaigeMoonShade,

    Hey, thank you for posting the competition (they are always super fun!)
    I have a question about the palm fronds please: I don't think I can get it, I don't have membership to get it as a drop and cannot get it from the crowns shop as I am out of crowns. Does that mean that I would be able to enter please or?

    Thank you!

    1. Palm fronds are bought in the bazaar. There were 100 the other day. I would suggest asking friends for help or stalking the bazaar, as you will need this item.

  7. Hi Paige! My Wizard's name is Brian (Wow so original). I just submitted my entry! This is my first contest here, so I'm not entirely sure if you do this. Once this contest is over and the winners have been announced, would you be willing to post the screenshots of the Grand Prize, 1st-3rd prize, and possibly the judge's choices as well (if the users are willing of course)? I would love to take a look at the other ideas that people have come up with and maybe take some inspiration! Thanks for this awesome contest!
