Housing Arena: What is it for?
The Housing Arena was designed for people who want to show off their home-decorating sense. It is a showcase of home decorating (sometimes on a budget) where members put their homes on display while other members cast their votes on whose home gets the prize. It costs 1000 gaia gold to enter the Home Showcase, and winners can earn up to 50,000 gaia gold. That’s a LOT of home renovations!

From the Homes Arena you can:

Submit your home to be showcased.
Look at the entries that are open for voting (the previous week’s entries)
Look at the past winners (a great source of inspirations)
Look at all the submissions (last week’s entries)
Submit your avatar (for next week’s judging)
Edit your submission (check up how the voting is going for you)

How much does it cost to enter the Homes Arena?
The entry fee is 1000 gaia gold.

Why can’t I find my home in this week’s submissions?
To make voting fair to everyone, we collect all submissions for the week and present them the following week. This way everyone’s homes are displayed at the same time and have an equal chance at receiving votes.

When are the winners of Homes Arena announced?
Voting closes on Sunday 6:00PM PST and the winners for that week (the entries for the previous week) are announced on Sunday 7:00PM PST.

Can I change the look my place once I’ve submitted it to the Homes Arena?
When you click on the submit button, the site creates a snapshot of the interior of your home. No further changes are allowed, so make sure to vacuum all rugs and wash all the windows before clicking on that button.

Can I view winners of the Homes Arenas from past weeks?
Yes. We archive pictures of the top 10 choices of every week. When you go to the option? Past Winners?you will be presented with the year and a slider that allows you to pick which week from that year you wish to look at. The pictures reflect what the home looked like when they entered the contest. Their home may have changed since then.
