Anyone can host a contest. All you really have to do to host a contest is to create a calendar post and create a contest thread. As host you are responsible for creating the rules/guidelines for participation and establishing a time frame that the contest will last through. You will need to judge the results or you can get help from a co-host or you can create a poll for bimbo/himbos to vote for the winners.... it's up to you as the contest host. Once you judge winners you are responsible for posting the results. It is pretty much expected at a minimum that you create banners for the actual winners, participation banners are optional. I use photoshop usually for any banners I make.
The Fashion Contest Forum was created so that hosts have one central location where they can create their "at-a-glance" calendar update for the contest and to have this thread where your contest will be hosted. Since not everyone checks the forum on a daily basis you may get better participation for your contest if you make a post including a link to your contest and post that on individual bimbo/himbo "comment section" on their profile. Unfortunately there is not mass email/post option for hosts to announce their contest.
So you can create and host a contest, but how do you add prizes for the winners?

You can come up with the prize amounts and then message kimsim for approval. He distributes the prizes after the contest.Oh that's cool, thank you!! I've wanted to host a contest for a while now, but I didn't know if it's allowed, how to have prizes, or even what themes have already been used, you know?
I think it's great that you want to host a contest and I hope you do! As far as figuring out what contests have been done already you can research that by clicking on DQFC and looking at past contest results, or reviewing the fashion & forum contests thread. Feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions. :)Thank you!! Since I have some free time during the holidays I might look through what I can find and see if I can think of something that hasn't been done!! As a fashion designer I'm really enjoying what everyone does with each theme, since we're all so different here in the game when it comes to aesthetics, and I have a lot of fun during any contest, whether I participate or not!!
