2) How to take part in the OhMyLoft contest?

To access the OhMyLoft contest, click on the “Shows” menu at the top of the page, then choose “OhMyLoft”.
To register, you need:
- a valid email address,
- to possess AT LEAST 30 items in “My Things”,
- to use between 15 and 150 items to decorate your “loft” room.
- validate the visible part of your “loft” during the registration phase.

The “OhMyLoft” contest takes place every two weeks.
The theme is announced on Monday afternoon and there are two different contest phases:

- First phase: Registration
The registration phase starts on Tuesday at 10:00 AM and lasts until the next Monday at 10:00 AM (French time).

- Second phase: The Votes

The voting phase starts on the second Tuesday at 10:00 AM and lasts until Monday at 10:00 AM. (French time).
The podium is announced on Monday at 10:00 AM (French time) and a new theme is launched in the afternoon.

There is a different and compulsory theme every week, you will be asked to decorate your “loft” room with prerequisites, that is furniture or accessories that come from such and such store. The theme is announced the day before the registrations are opened on the board and in the news. You must play the game and respect the theme!

Caution, only the decoration of your “loft” room is taken into account for the show. Therefore, when you register, check that decoration you want for the contest is the one in your “loft” room.

Important! The part of your loft that you save for the contest mustn’t contain more than 150 items.

3) Once I have registered, can I modify the decoration in my loft?

When you register for the contest, your decoration is saved.
No matter what modifications you make in your “loft” room after that, your registration remains the same for the OhMyLoft contest .

4) Why did I get banned or disqualified from the OhMyLoft contest?

The team can disqualify a player anytime if:
- the prerequisite items are hidden;
- the loft decoration doesn't correspond to the contest theme.

If you are disqualified that way, you get a second chance to enroll with a different loft decoration during the “registration phase”.
Forum moderators can also explain to you why you got disqualified and advise you via the “OhMyLoft & Fashion Show” topic.

The team can ban a player anytime if:
- the decoration doesn't clearly respect the theme;
- the player offers gifts or other rewards to players in exchange for votes;
- the player uses any means to put pressure on other players to get votes.

If you are banned that way, you cannot take part in the current OhMyLoft contest. If you are banned three times, you cannot participate in shows anymore.

Each player participates anonymously, you can see your position in the show ranking on the “OhMyLoft” page.

5) What about the theme?

The theme is announced every Monday on the “News” part of the game and in the "Fashion Show and OhMyLoft" section of the board.
You also have a “Details about the Contest” link at the top of the “OhMyLoft” page.
And Sarah lists the “forbidden” items and “prerequisites” on the board.

6) Why are the forbidden items often the same?

To make sure the players don't always use the same items, some items are forbidden. This list of items is set up by the team OhMyDollz and can be modified weekly.

7) Can I use furniture or accessories won during quests?

Yes, furniture or accessories won during quests can be used for the OhMyLoft contest, yet they are not considered as prerequisites.

8) What about the votes?

You can take part in the contest and vote. For that, you just need to connect to your account and give a mark that is symbolized by stars and goes from 1 to 5 to the “loft” displayed on the contest page. Once you have chosen a mark, click to validate and the loft of another participant will appear on screen.
If you cannot see the stars, that means that the voting phase hasn't started.

The time left for each contest phase is given by the count-down on the “OhMyLoft” page.

9) The random doesn't work, I always see the same lofts, what's happening?

You can use the “pass” button if you don't want to vote for the “loft” that is displayed. But the “lofts” are displayed randomly. To understand the computer system that we call 'random' better, imagine a huge bucket filled up with thousands of balls, you pick three balls at random. Then you put them back in, and you pick three others and so and so for 10 hours. If you check the numbers on the balls each time, you will get different results, some balls will have been picked several times, and other only once or never at all. And the results will also vary from one player to another. That means that if we both do the bucket and ball test, I will not get the same results as you do.

10) I can't see my own loft in the OhMyLoft contest, why?

That's normal, that stops players from voting for themselves.

11) If I win the OhMyLoft contest can I register again?

Once you have won the OhMyLoft contest you cannot participate in the OhMyLoft contest for 6 months.

Good luck to you, budding designers!!!
