Hi there! :) Nope, but contestants must have a permanent residence in a PAL territory country. You can check the rules here. It doesn't matter in which data centre you play in, only your account region matters.

I hope this helped!

FC without housing can have members participating as guests in other's fc house?

Hey there! :)

The screenshot must be taken inside a Free Company House, Private House or Apartment. You can take the party picture in another FC's or friend's house, as long as the other FC or your friend is OK with it. So, no worries about owning your own house!

To add the extra from my Saints Wake party, when we took it outside for ghost stories!

My boyfriend's forum acc is banned throughout the time frame of this event but he wants to enter (out of the two of us, he's the only one with the EU acc, I'm NA). How will that work?

Given you cannot post in behalf of others, it seems your boyfriend cannot participate.

Then rules says

Contestants must possess an active Service Account

and your friend's service account is right now partially disabled by forum suspension. Without Moderator's mercy I guess it cannot be helped.

Oh no ;;

Is there some way this can be helped mod? It'd mean a lot for him to be able to enter unless the screenshot is of multiple people? ;;

Hi there! Unfortunately, you can't participate with a banned account and one can't participate on behalf of another person.

Hey there, I have a question reagrding the rule that the entrant's character has to be visible in the submitted screenshot. Now I already posted my entry and my Au'Ra is visible in it, but I would like to fantasia into a Lalafell. I was wondering if this will be an issue and I should rather wait with the change until the contest is over?

I should have definitely used this thread for practice before bungling up my entry.

Hello! Apologies for the late reply. You can use Fantasia to change your character into Lalafell. The rule to have your character visible on the screenshot is just to ensure that people will submit pictures that they've taken themselves.
