does it have to be open backed or can it be closed? does the base plate need to be the same 10 stud wide? or can it be wider? longer? I know they need to be around the same size but whats the limit?

There really isn't a limit unless it becomes exponentially bigger than the current sets. Listen, just build something. Don't overthink it. The rule is purposely vague so you can still have freedom but will disqualify anyone who builds a 3000 piece modular building with a 4000 piece carousel on the side.

Since I'm only aloud one entry, can I?

• Post all of my Winter buildings (I'm planning several) and choose 1 to enter
• Post each building on the forum, then choose one to enter
• Or do I have to wait until they are all built, and 1 is entered?

Gee, I don't know. Last year, I didn't announce the prizes until the winners were announced.

Every entry should have 8.5 minifigs, no more, no less. <--That is sarcasm!!!

I'm not answering any more questions like this one. I feel it's more than clear what's expected from the rules, clarifying questions and the answers I've already given.

Can we build with LDD? Or only real bricks?

[SilentMode]

WHAT?! Extended deadline?!

Right now that's the Lego equivalent of Second Chance.

You can't upload images as a new member. You need to have a Flickr account and post the images through the URL tag.

The following entries have pictures embedded that are hosted on Brickshelf, which is still down at the moment:

• Clothes Store by SilentMode Fixed!
  
• Winter Sports Spore by soundwave_sw (also hosted flickr, please embed these pictures) Fixed!
  
• Christmas by brickie (disqualified, it's a winter scene and not a single Winter Village creation)
  
• Chalet by slovakiasteph
  
• The Blue Snow Store by gcanik (also hosted on MOCpages, please embed these pictures))
  
• Transparent Winter House by lisqr Fixed!
