You stand the chance to win tons of YoCash, get featured on our Blog and Fan page and what’s better…you get to see your designs come to life as we release the top winning designs in game!

From Construction workers, Janitors, Lawyers, Engineers, you name it – go ahead and create! You can come up with some brilliant designs and we’re sure you will.

Let’s break down the rules for everyone:

RULES AND GUIDELINES:
Step 1:

We want to see what your costumes will look like on a Yoville avatar so the first thing you will need to do is find an avatar to create the outfit for, this can be your own avatar or another avatar found on Yoville.com or in game. Then take a screenshot of that avatar. To take a Screenshot on a PC (Hold down CTRL, ALT, PRTSC) and on a MAC (Hold Down Command and SHIFT 3)

Step 2:

Then go to Paint or PhotoShop or any type of image editing program you have installed on your computer and Paste your Screen shot. From here please use the tools provided to edit your image and design your outfit. You may have to crop to remove any unnecessary parts of your screen shot so you only have the avatar to work with. Also rememeber to include all the parts of your design(accessories, makeup, handhelds) on your display avatar. Don’t be afraid to use color or get creative! Make sure to save along the way!!

Step 3:

Next you are going to have to upload your image to an Image hosting site like Tinypic or Photobucket. If you do not already have an account you will need to create one. Once that you have uploaded your picture to your account your image will be given links and codes for the image. Make sure to Copy the IMG Code provided for your image.
