Welcome Back Apathy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This week's random contest: make a Neopian-themed pizza! So I figured, I had copious amounts of free time today, so I decided to enter. I thought of an awesome idea and tried to enact it. ...Anyone else find out that they are terrible at this sort of thing? :D I'd like to share my picture with you in a little while, but it's a public forum, and I don't want my idea to get stolen. I'll post it in a few days. XD My idea was awesome...but the toppings kind of sank into the cheese, so after I finished baking it, I had to take off the old toppings and replace them. It ended up not looking too good, but I gave it a good background, name, and description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice ☮ Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've never entered; I never have enough time >_< I hope you get in! And at least you got to eat it afterwards, right? :D (Mmmmm.... pizza..... *drools all over page*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I totally fail at things like that I won the Random Contest when it first came out though , we had to make a tongue twister ... I'm good with words .. but that's it .... I don't even attempt to look at the requirements anymore ... :worried: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I have to say, it WAS delicious. Cherry tomatoes are fantastic when baked in a pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I love pizza and cherry tomatoes! Good luck in the contest ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Fever Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Aw, sorry to hear about your topping dilemma. I'm thinking about entering this one, myself...if I can get to the store in time. lol Aside from the store problem, I have my idea all picked out. I love entering the Random Contest (they give me ideas for silly projects to do with my 4 year old if nothing else) and I hope you get in. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suus Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Good luck! I really hope you win ^_^ Once I made something for the random contest, but I didn't realise I had so send it in before Friday, so I was to late, although I had everything finished D: I was very sad and angry, because there weren't even runner-up that round, I think I could have made it. So now I'll join again if I see a round that I like, but I don't fancy making a pizza. I'll wait for a next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome Back Apathy Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 By the way, is there a maximum word count for the description in the Random Contest? Because I was quite verbose. Also, I may have given a little TOO much information. I told them exactly what I did, including my screw-ups and how I fixed them... ...I'm having that "SHOOT, WHAT DID I SAY?" moment, like the one after you talk to someone's answering machine and over-analyze it making sure you did everything right. ...You can't tell me I'm the only one who does that.

eel Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I poked around a bit and I didn't see anything about a word limit in the description, so I think you're good. According to an article in the Neopian Times, the description should talk about the materials you used and the time you spent on the project, and only the judges see it. So hopefully they'll be impressed by all the effort you put in. x) I'm looking forward to seeing a picture of it. (And you are definitely not the only person who has "oh no what did I say" moments. :P If only real life had an edit button...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aalnius Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 i never try these type of things im awful at creative stuff like that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that xD And like Eel said, I believe the description is for the judges' eyes only (and no limit). I'll be rooting for you! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 :woot: Thanks for the reminder. I'll sleep on it and make a pizza tomorrow for lunch. This was my entry for the last two random contest but I didn't win. Thought I'd share though especially since its Halloween related :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I saw that one! Thought it was amazing. :D All the best Karina! Hope you win! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks fantastic. I'm annoyed that it didn't win. I'll have to go see the other ones, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wembly Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Some of the other ones were really good though so I'm not too upset that I didn't win. I had fun carving it regardless. I made a Tyrannian themed pizza for this week's random competition. I'll post pictures too if I don't win. Okay, I didn't win but here was my entry.

Wembly Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Haha, I just got the same notification. Congratulations on 3rd place! This was actually quicker notification than the last time I won 2nd place, it took like a couple weeks for notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And you are definitely not the only person who has "oh no what did I say" moments. :P If only real life had an edit button...) Just as an FYI, they do actually post the descriptions sometimes. The little blurb that shows up below a winning entry is the description for that entry. They don't always post them, but just in case they do I try to keep my descriptions shorter than I used to. Those pizzas look delicious! I love the meerca chase idea, one of my favorite games. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
