    What is with the "Contests" forum - Submit your contest idea!

    My new Hay Day hobby is the forums. I started in General and I am getting to know the others. I just checked out the "Contests" and see it is, well... pretty dead! Why is it still there?

    A part of forum that should really be removed, SuperCell gave up on that long ago; instead putting their contests on Facebook.

    We used to run some competitions on the forums as well, but the amount of entries made it super difficult to handle. The forums are not build for such. So, we just didn't run them anymore. We are looking into reviving that section soon, so hold on tight!

    We have always ran competitions on Facebook. We then started also to run separately contests on the forums as well, but as I explained above, the forums are not built for such usage.

    Like Nick said we are looking into reviving that section and have some ideas for contests to have. Nothing we can share yet at this point of course.

    However we'd also love to see some input from the community so bring on those contest ideas!
    What kind of contests would you guys like to see and would you want to participate in ?

    A few things to consider.
    A contest needs to be suitable for the forum, meaning you will always see previous replies.
    Ergo solve this math problem 2+2 = ? Isn't a good contest idea as people would see previous answers and just copy from there.

    The contest needs to have some relation / connection to Hay Day.

    Bring it on! Stage is yours

    Please picture this post as me talking to myself and hope you read it with some lightheartedness in which it was intended.

    Hey it's been a few days let's check out all the amazing contest ideas and see if we can use some or part of an idea for a contest.
    hmmm where did that thread go ? It should be around in the General subforum of hay day somewhere...
    I'll visit my profile then because I know I had posted on it...
    ah there it is and clicks the thread open in excited anticipation...

    .
    .
    .

    Huh ? What's this no replies ? No ideas ? None, zilch, noppes, nada ? No ideas at all..
    *looks up from screen with a blank stare*
    What am I to do with that ? What am I to make of that ? What does it mean ?
    Are there no ideas ? Are they still thinking about it ? Was the thread missed ? Or do they not like contests and are they not interested ?
    Oh wait I'll also drop a link in our mod chats and adjust the thread title slightly maybe that will help and hopefully it will be spotted better now...
    *leaves the thread in excited anticipation again and proceeds foruming*

    Thank you TerMinus Prime

    It is not easy, really... If everyone can see everyone's answer, there can be no winner for most things. I am still stuck in think mode.

    1st, 2nd, 3rd with the right answer does not work either, because we are all in different time zones

    Not too long ago, I accidentally landed in a signature-making contest in the Clash Royale forums.

    I submitted this gorgeous entry:

    http://forum.supercell.net/showthrea...=1#post8037175

    Shockingly, it didn't win.

    Maybe Hay Day could have similar image-editing competitions.

    Or you could post a funny/cute/interesting image and ask for captions. Caption contests are as endemic to the Internet as cat pics. They're everywhere, but - from what I can tell - they're still pretty popular.

    That's where something art related is perfect, as music play suggested.

    Could also do a farm design contest, such as most creative design farm or town design too. I've seen some awesome ones in my time, would be nice if the game could have a contest to reward such beautiful farms.
