Might want to edit in a link to the rules site directly.
Wait - don't the rules say that it's not open to people in Britain?

If by 'not' you mean 'it is', then yes...

Concerning bases, is only the superleader eligible? In some bases there are multiple people with access to base building privledges.

This should be corrected as the rules state the contest is open to residents of Canada (excluding Quebec).

But seriously, I doubt that many people have designed bases to be "holiday cheerful." I suspect that it will boil down to whoever takes the initiative to put the elbow grease into it and get the photos in. If you have multiple members of a supergroup who want a crack at it, I'd suggest letting them each design a few different rooms. If someone is really concerned about it, they could create a new character, earn some prestige, and design their own base. It might be a bit smaller, but maybe it would be a bit cozier.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)
What about this thing in the offcial rules:

I know I know. I'm a complete n00b.
It's the 1st time I've entered a contest on here though. How do I get the pics over to the judges?

Though I don't participate in these contests, putting my major efforts of creativity towards other ends IRL, I really do appreciate these contests as a spectator. Thanks Paragon and NC Soft for keeping a steady flow of things like this for the community!

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

*******The contest is now over, thank you to our participants. We will be announcing the winners as soon as possible*******
The festive season is here! Whether you call it Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or something else, everybody needs a little holiday cheer in their life. And what better way to get into the holiday spirit than to add a little color to your costume or freshen up the decoration of your base!
That's right! In honor of the holidays, City of Heroes® is giving you the opportunity to show off your decorating prowess by putting together a costume or a base interior that will astonish and dazzle us!
This contest will have two (2) categories:
Your submission* will be judged on originality, creativity, and the ability to achieve a Holiday theme.
If you choose to participate in the costume category, you will need to send us two (2) screenshots of your character (front and back).
If you choose to participate in the base category, you will need to send us two (2) screenshots of each room you've decorated (from one corner and from the opposite corner). Please note that we may need to arrange to visit your base in order to select the winning trio!
The total (not individual) size of screenshots should be 5MB or smaller and that they should be in .jpg format.
One entry per person ONLY will be accepted, so you will have to choose which category you'd like to enter!
So start decorating! We look forward to seeing how you celebrate the holidays in-game. Good luck!
