Guidelines

• Your hideout must be created after the release of the Expedition expansion.
• Hideouts that have previously been featured in the Hideout Showcase news series or submitted to the Hideout Showcase forum are not eligible for entry.
• Your hideout must be your own work.
• Your hideout must be safe to showcase (nothing lewd or offensive).
• Submit your hideout from the account that the hideout is on. Please leave the hideout intact until the judging is complete, so that we can check it.

Competition Times

The competition starts at the time of this post and will end on Sunday the 12th of September at 10pm PDT (or Sep 13, 2021 1:00 AM (EDT) in your local time). Submissions made after this time will not be counted.

We'll announce the winners sometime in the days following this date. Winners will be chosen based on creativity and how well they've represented their chosen theme. To keep it fair, we will be selecting a mixture of hideouts with hideout decoration microtransactions and those without. To help you prepare, we're also running a week-long sale on Hideout Decorations!

Best of luck to everyone participating! We can't wait to see what you come up with!
