Christmas Market on the Beach by @Annie_konik !
This was just gorgeous Annie and such a fun idea! I'd love to spend Christmas here :) 5 people scored you 10/10 for creativity!

Feedback:
Love the theme, wish we got see more of the wombat habitat as from the images we got it looked a little under-decorated. Anyway wonderful stuff
What a charming idear, love the decoration and the christmas market as a theme, especally the picture booth and surfing reindeers are super fun and creative!
I love the surfing reindeer!
Very unexpected location but this makes it even more creative. It looks really nice and I especially love the photo station.

Runner Up AND Best Zookeeper goes to...
Arctic Village with Reindeer Habitat by @Hugo98 !
You really created a winter wonderland and achieved the highest scores for 'met the brief' and 'guest and animal needs' - congratulations!

Feedback:
This is so lovely and the reindeer look so happy in there! I love the log cabins, so cozy :) Also, kudos for amazing looking natural surrounding, rocks and plants look very realistic!
Love the chimney
What an amazing piece of work! Everything looks great, the habitat looks beautiful with many nice touches like the deviating elevation and the fenced of trees, the theming of the little plaza is simple yet effective in a very elegant way and it fits the prompt perfectly while still looking like something youd find in a zoo. Amazing build!

Fan Favourite goes to...
Frostland Wild Park by @Mr-Hyrax 2 !
This one goes to Mr Hyrax because he created a very cosy and inviting, large and highly decorated complete park, which some people thought was his best work yet (and I agree!) You also took some great animal shots, I especially love the one of the crows!

Feedback:
So many fluffy animals! It's such a nice zoo :) I like the way you used the decorations and lights to create the cozy atmosphere. The reindeer enclosure looks especially good.
The education signs look great!
I think it's your best work so far. I like this zoo very much, the habitats look nice. Also impressive to build a whole zoo in such a short period of time!

Speediest Build cannot be determined / you decide!
Annie = approx 20 hours
Hugo = approx 20 hours
Frogstrich = 25.5 hours (thank you for calculating this so accurately @Frogstrich , you should win this prize just for that!)
Mr Hyrax = 3 days
Xrystal = "Who knows rofl" ...rofl ;)

There were two other great entries this round. Everybody did an excellent job and scores were tight!
Santa's Sanctuary by @Frogstrich
You came third in the round and built a very pretty animal sanctuary, which is such a great idea for Christmas :)

Feedback:
Wow I love the Dall Sheep habitat with all those christmas trees! And the Amur leopard habitat looks great too. Your seals and sea lions have excellent deep diving pools, I'm sure they appreciate it :) Lovely work!
Wish the seal pool had a bit more detail, but everything else is good
I like how spacious everything is and all the christmas trees.


North Pole Zoo by @Xrystal
Another huge, sweeping vista from Xrystal! Your effort is always extraordinary, attempting an entire map is commendable! I love the Timber Wolves especially. You gave the animals loads of room to roam and gave your guests loads to do - and it shows in you scores for meeting their needs!

Feedback:
Very interesting project! And your animals have plenty of space :) And the North Pole village is very cute :)
The habitats are a bit baren and I wish there where more plants and decorations, but it's nice
I can't believe you made a whole map! Incredible!
I love how snowy and Christmassy it looks :)

So obviously I don't have time to keep managing this competition for a while, though I do hope to run another round in the future.

In the meantime, unless anyone else wants a go at running it, I thought it might be fun to keep this page going in a non-competitive way? We could continue to pick a theme per month, and post pics here to share what we built for it? No score forms but people could post their scores for the categogies if they want, or just provide nice feedback and comments. What do you think?

If you like that idea then Rocky Coast Habitat is the most popular theme at present on the Themes sheet, but feel free to suggest other ideas!

When the next DLC comes out we could use that pack as the theme. I can't wait till we hear what it is! 👀

Thank you all so much for such nice comments on my Christmas market on the beach! I'm very happy to read that you liked it! 🩷 I had fun building it :)
And congrats on your wonderful wintery projects, Hugo, Frogstich, and Mr Hyrax! :D
Thanks so much, Vilannelle, for organizing this fun and creative event. I wish I could participate again or even help run it, but I can't commit to this right now. I'll be quite busy for the next few months.

I'll participate in scoring this round, though :)

Totally get it, I think we're taking a bit of a pause anyway. Hope to rejuvinate this page in a little while. It's been a blast.

Feel free to keep picking themes and posting pics of your builds in the meantime if you want :)
