1.) Is this a strictly solo contest? Can people work with friend(s)?

You can work with friends, but keep in mind, only one person can submit the entry and will be the only one eligible for prizes if they win. In the case of TCF, even for participation, they'll be the only one to get the Headless Horseman Forum title.

2.) Would a playable world be a valid entry?

Yes, we are accepting playable worlds in the Other Category. :)

Now let the spooky festivities begin!
Would a sewn plushie count for the other category?
 
Wait can we view what the community has submitted? Or is it private

Due to running across multiple platforms and using the Google Form submission tool, entries are private. It is different from how we've done previous contests, but the contestant still has the option to share their entry if they choose.

We have discussed this internally as well since it is fun for members to see entries and discuss them. While we don't want to take that away, this option lets it be optional on if a contestant wants to share their entry with the public after submitting it. We might put together a thread at the very least that showcases entries that have been shared for this contest. I do want to do that so we might approach it that way.
 
i have absolutely no talent or skill, but good luck to those who enter.

i'll envy all the winners. :dryadpassionate:

that meowmere would be pretty awesome...
 
Can't wait!

Sorry for offtop,
Is it possible to make paint tolls (roller/brush/scrapper) combinable just like the Grand Design etc?
Switching mode (paint block/walls/cleaning) by right click would be convenient so much!
