The Florensia Staff would like to invite you to be creative once again: We are looking for the best Oktoberfest screenshots and the best Oktoberfest fan art! Either you grab your friends, celebrate and take some screenshots of the best party you've ever had or you send us a self-made picture including the Oktoberfest in Florensia. Great rewards are waiting for you!

Until and including October 4, the Bavarian people and more than 6 million visitors from all around the world are coming to Munich, Germany to celebrate the Oktoberfest - also known as "d'Wiesn" (literally: "the grassland"). This enjoyabe event is an important element of Bavarian culture and the visitors either celebrate in one of the 14 big tents or amuse themselves with the dozens of fairground booths and rides. Specialties served on the Octoberfest include sweets, gingerbread hearts, chocolate fruits, sausages, dumplings, pretzels, roast and much more traditional Bavarian food.

"d'Wiesn" is also influencing the faraway world of Florensia: The monsters feel like celebrating, but we've so far only heart some rumors of a drunk Dungeon Master who didn't listen to what we tell you: Don't drink on your adventures!


So this is your chance to celebrate the Oktoberfest yourselves in Florensia: What would you imagine? What would happen in the world of Florensia if the NPCs, the monsters and of course you, the players, could celebrate the Oktoberfest?

Organize a party and send us a screenshot!

Gather your friends, celebrate an Oktoberfest party in Florensia and send us the best screenshot of it via the ticket system!

(NOTE: You don't have to wear Dirndl or Lederhosen to take part in the screenshots contest, but they definitely look pretty awesome!)

Or grab your pens and draw a 100% Florensian Oktoberfest!

Let your imagination run wild: Draw the Oktoberfest like it could be in Florensia and who knows: Maybe next year, your Oktoberfest vision will come true?

(NOTE: To show respect for our underage players, pictures including drunk characters will not be accepted. You may draw beer and you may make the monsters drunk, but adventurers should stay sober!)

To make sure you have enough time, the deadline for all submissions is Wednesday, October 14 at 11:59pm CEST!

The rewards

The rewards for all accepted pictures will include beer buff items and other useful consumables. The winners will receive Lederhosen & Dirndls, headgears or headmounts.

Since we don't know what you players are up to (imagine a screenshot with 200 people!), the exact number of winners and the exact rewards will be determined after the end of the contest. Players who already purchased Lederhosen or Dirndls will be allowed to choose another costume instead.
