In an effort to encourage and reward those of us that put an effort into creating nice and unique strongholds, I thought I would start a SHotM contest. I will be the sole judge for this first one, but hopefully we can add more judges later.

 

PRIZE UPDATE:

• First Place: 20 Million Credits and 1,050 CC!
  
• 5 Runners Up (Places 2-6): 450 CC
  

(Only one of your strongholds can place in the top 6)

 

In order to move forward, I would like to have at least 10 quality nominations. If it is less than that I will cancel the contest.

 

SHotM June 2017:

• Nominate your SH here through June 23rd (Include Planet, and SH Name)
  
• Harbinger Only
  
• Judging will take place June 26-30 between 8:00-10:00 PM Central
  
• I will PM two time slots when you will need to be logged in for judging
  
• Winner announced on or before July 4th
  

 

Criteria for June SHotM

For this first one I will be looking at overall feel and flow of the stronghold. I will look for unique, but quality decoration combinations and placement. It will need to look like something I might find in-game somewhere. Hopefully this will get some traction and we can do another contest for museums and other types of strongholds.

 

Thank you and good luck.

Finalists (Top 12 - in no particular order)

Judging has been very close, so I have expanded the finalist list to 12. For participants with multiple entries, we used the highest scoring stronghold of the ones you entered. Congrats to those that made it to the finals.

I would like to participate, but I will be out of town when you are judging. Would it be possible to send you a key to the stronghold? I would need to duplicate one of my Shadowlands strongholds, but there should be time.

Put this on the Harbinger server forum.

I thought about that, but the server forum is full of guilds and LFG, don't think it would get traction there. Also the hope is to expand to other servers if it works on Harbinger.

You should post over on Reddit too.

This is a wicked idea! and you could also post on Dulfy, err, at least I think you can make posts on Dulfy?

Last chance to enter. If we do not have at least 20 quality entries by Friday, the contest will be cancelled. Edited June 13, 2017 by Quintain

lolz:D i bet you haven't seen as many steel chairs in the whole universe by playin' 1-70 like in my shs. just filled the places for 125% bonus, nothing else matters. imo:rolleyes:

Did you end up posting this anywhere else, like that has been suggested?

Yes. Just posted to Reddit.

Why not, I'll bite.

 

I got a Stronghold on Nar Shaddaa - Rev's Stronghold (I'll get the exact name for you later - at work right now).

 

Actually pretty proud of it, and could use the credits.

 

 

Edit: Actually figured out the title: Rëv's Vacation Retreat.

Next edition for me! I need to farm a certain thing on my server and then export to Harb and then decorate.

 

I already have SH's on Harb, but empty at the moment.

 

Kudos for the initiative!

Aaand I just spent 30 million in decorations

 

(but most of it for something else than what I had in mind for this)

This is an awesome idea! I'll have to check out some of the strongholds people are nominating. To throw my hat in the ring -- Cethon's Imperial Sanctuary on Dromund Kaas. I'll try to be around during the judging, but you can also whisper Asphemous in-game and I'll be happy to give you a key.

This is a fun idea! You could also try posting on the Galactic Strongholds forum. Not sure what your rules are on multiple strongholds, but if allowed I'd nominate two of mine:

Taiari's Vacation Retreat, Tatooine

Taiari's Jedi Academy, Yavin 4

You could also try posting on the Galactic Strongholds forum.

 

Wow, I never saw that little forum hiding down there at the bottom without an icon. Thanks, I posted there as well.

Sounds like fun! I look forward seeing what people come up with.

 

Planet: Tatooine

SH Name: Lekti's Marketplace Cantina

Why not?

 

Leixia's Chamber of Deception

Dromund Kaas

Nar Shaddaa

 

Zetlyn's Marketplace Cantina

 

My Rishi Bar is my pride and joy!
