In celebration of spring and all the beautiful flowers and gardens in bloom, IMVU is hosting the Best Garden Ever Badge Making Contest.

We challenge all of our creative IMVU community members to design an imaginative, original, colorful representation of anything someone might find in a springtime garden.

We’ll accept submissions starting today through midnight Thursday, April 30th. To submit your badge, please grant it to this homepage, where it will remain hidden until the end of the contest.

Three winners will be selected by IMVU Staff, based on the most creative, original, and colorful design in the following categories:
First Place - Best design with 3 or more tiles. This winner will receive a limited edition IMVU T-shirt, three bundles of your choice, and a bundle of 5 exclusive gifts normally only available through Prepaid card offers (selected by IMVU).
Second Place - Best double tile design. This winner will receive two bundles of your choice.
Third Place - Best single tile design. This winner will receive a limited edition IMVU T-shirt.

Additional Contest Rules:

- You must have a registered avatar name in order to participate (submissions will not be accepted from users with “Guest_” names).
- Only one submission per user will be considered.
- You must purchase a new badge in order to be considered (you cannot re-design a previously purchased badge).
