Let other EU residents take part in contests!

[Leloa]

I don't find it fair that only people resident in England, French or Spain etc. are allowed to enter in contests? What if you live in northen EU huh? Why are we not allowed to enter in anything fun?

Is it okay to let a friend in the above countries send the entry for me? Would it be illegal?

I really want to enter the hairstyle design contest, I don't care if I live in the country I do now, I will enter because it's only fair.

First time there is actually an interesting contest, yet a lot of players from europe can't join,
because of how limited this is. I find it rather disappointing.

Blame the local government not SE.

Can't have a contest if the locals say "NO!"

Europe has 50 countries. People of four (4) countries can participate.

Is there any sort of official explanation for this?

Don't Forget Australia.

Britain is northern EU

Britain is northern EU

It isn't. It's... western EU. Check your maps.

Northern EU refers to Scandinavia and Finland. Maybe Baltia.

Would be nice to have Australia and New Zealand join in too! I'm sure I speak for a few of us in feeling a bit left out when it comes to contests (and servers and fan-fests ;_. Square needs to build up the community across all countries! It's not about the prizes like the Chocobo mount, it's about letting us express our ideas we wanna see in game too!

Why don't we make our own forum thread with EVERYONE'S hairstyle ideas? rules the same, but everyone can participate. if that thread grows big, then SE should acknowledge that they have made a big mistake with those limitations

[shaijis]

Where would that thread go? Hairstyle contest doesn't have their own subforum in Events, and this forum lacks fanart/fiction section. Community > General Discussion?
