Hey, all you chefs out there, this is your chance to show off your works and amaze us at how great you are at making your food look awesome. 

Make (or even buy) a dish, decorate it up to look cool, snap a pic and put it on this page. Submission period is April 10, 2012 until July 10, 2012.


Winners Trophies!

As some of you have probably noticed, there's new badges showing up all over Elfpack right now. The Graphic Bosses have been busily working away and have remade almost every badge on Elfpack with a much higher quality, brand new version!




Make sure to check out Badge Credits to see who made which badge. ;)

^{PS: Due to the large amount of changes across member houses and wiki-pages, it'll likely take use a few days to catch everything up. If you spot anyone with an outdated badge, or an official page with an outdated badge, please leave a comment on Council.}

The Best Swearing Story has went into voting, check out the entries and vote for the one you think is the best!




Also, the two Valentine's Day Contests are still accepting entries Blowing Kisses and Valentine Cupid. Both of those are accepting entries until Midnight, February 16 Elfpack time.



All three contests are handing out badges and Togs (redeemable at the Tog Shop) to winners.

Hey Elfpackers! Here's the lowdown on what's happening on EP at the moment.

Contests

Valentine's day is fast approaching, and EP has not one... but TWO Official Valentine's Contests for you to enter this year!

Get loved up and start Blowing Kisses (in the form of photgraphs and art) to share the love with fellow EP members, and win yourselves some prizes. If you're not the lovey-dovey type, we're also looking for some alternative and creative takes on that old Valentine Cupid theme.

What? Love, hearts, kisses, and all that nonsense makes you mad? It make you want to swear your arse off?! Lucky you, you can win prizes for that too! This is your chance to make the most vulgar story you can -- Best Swearing Story. Check out our ongoing Damn Swearing Contest Area for upcoming swearing-themed contests

Check the contest pages to see the prizes you can win.

^{P.S. Don't forget to vote for the winner of the Giffie-Pet Poetry Contest.}

Elfpack Awards

The Elfpack Awards have recently undergone some large renovations -- the Awards have been changed from Monthly (12/year) to Quarterly (4/year). This means that those shiny trophies will be even more coveted by your friends. Make sure to get your nominations in now, and ask your friends to nominate you for an award!

Graphics

As some of you may have noticed, we've got brand new pretty pretty dividers and blobs on our official pages, with matching banners soon to follow. We're slowly updating old pages, and having a little spring cleaning, so bear with us (especially if you have many official pages on watch).

Now, because they're so pretty pretty, you may want to use them yourselves... but... sorry guys and girls, the new official graphics and templates can only be used with the approval of the Council.

However, Elfpack Graphics is packed with free graphics for members to use anywhere on the site, and those images don't even count towards the 10-image limit you normally have.

Don't see the perfect graphic there? Well, why not create some! You can get an Artists badge, and some Togs just for donating your graphics!
