Yesterday, December 29th, was the final day for the LA Christmas Housing Décor Contest. Eight entries were received, and Vahne of HOT Auctions, Crimson Rose of DSR, and myself thoroughly enjoyed viewing and judging the wonderful houses. It was a hard decision to declare winners!</p>
You can take the tour and see all the entries for yourself. The runes to the houses are locked-down at the HOT Auction house in a green runebook on a frostwood podium.</p>
With such effort and beautiful pixel art created, all the entries were winners! Everyone who entered received a gift box containing a snowman, holiday tree deed, a poinsetta, and a candle along with another gift of another valuable item of décor like a Philips Steed, paintings, fans, or origami Christmas balls. In addition, the judges were so impressed with one entry's great detail that a new category of "Technical Achievement" was created for a prize!</p>
Below are the list of winners and picture highlights of the entries we received. Congratulations to you all!</p>
The winners of the contest were,</p>

The prize category created for Technical Achievement was for the intense detailed work on the house entered by Juneivy! It was a marvel of patience and expert pixel art!</p>
