Hi, it says i can't use the group pose for the screenshots, does that also mean using /gpose just for zoom out function?

[Kashyanna]

And btw can we screenshot the garden too? (im sorry i cant find the button to "edit" my previous post)

I'm playing from Australia, so I have an EU-based account, but I play on North American servers. Can I enter this contest?

I have an Australian (PAL) service account but I am physically located/a resident of the USA and play on a NA server -should I enter the EU contest or the NA contest?

Also - are entries disqualified which use common glitches such as "floating" items?

Thank you!

That is correct. You may not use the group pose feature even if it's just for camera functions, such as the zoom out feature.

And btw can we screenshot the garden too? (im sorry i cant find the button to "edit" my previous post)

As much as we'd love to see your garden, and I'm sure it's beautiful, full of Moai statues and Namazu effigy, unfortunately, this contest is for interior designs only.

If you meet the contest rules, you may enter in the contest based on your account's region. Rules are available here.

Sorry this answer was a bit unclear. I'm in a similar situation. I am a UK/EU resident but my account is locked into NA region and SE will not allow me to change it to my correct region. For contests I don't know if I'm allowed to participate in EU contests or NA contests or am I officially barred from both? The rules always seem to ping pong saying its home addressed based to being account based but NA account holders cannot use their correct home addresses as the format is different than the system allows. I never know if this is disqualifying me or not.

If you have an US Account then you can join the US Contest. And if you have an EU Account then go with the EU Contest.
For this Contest it won't be a problem to enter if your Country is alongside the List. Only Part which will be tricky is if it goes about physical Items such as Merchandise. THEN you may not be allowed to. But since this one here got Ingame Items only you'll be fine with it.

So I take it that residents of Southeast Asian countries like Singapore and Malaysia are not able to participate? It's a little disheartening to see the region continually excluded from these contests as we don't fit neatly into the NA/EU bucket, even though we're a sizable portion of the oceanic community alongside Australia and New Zealand. Would you be at liberty to expand on the reasons why (I'm guessing there are laws and red tape to manage), and whether this could potentially change in the future?

So, as /gpose is ruled out can we use /idlingcamera for angled shots instead?
