Elfus' Interview

While the far off land of Greece experiences "Spring Cleaning Fever", Egyptians feel no disease, until summer, that is.

On the first day of Summer, the Egyptian people fell it necessary to declare "Better Camps and Gardens", 14 in which Egypt is cleaned. For this "Better Camps and Gardens", however, Karmen (Spouse of Elfus) has gone a bit too far. Witnesses on the scene reported hearing the shrieks of a wild banshee, followed by a loud banging, and Elfus' body being hurdled onto the lawn. When interviewed, Elfus told E! the following:

"Karmen and I have found that we disagree on a subject, and only one subject. Better Camps and Gardens. I believe the holiday is not worth practicing, while Karmen lives for it.

Even after cleaning our compound and lawn, Karmen continues to screech at me! Now, after a thorough talking, she wants me to create the greatest design ever created! Personally, I believe that it is a futile task, as I am a poor designer. I must ask all of Egypt to help me, for the sake of our relationship!"

Egyptians must now create the most wonderful display of beauty on their lawns, whether it be functional or non, to keep Elfus and Karmen's relationship alive!

Elfus' Plea

Woe is me! Every year Egypt catches the "Summer Cleaning" fever, marked by our yearly Better Camps and Gardens event, but this year it has gone too far.

My wife Karmen has thrown me out of the house until I create the most spectacular display of beauty ever known! Being unimaginative myself, I must beg you all for help! The fate of our marriage rests in your hands Egypt, as you must all crate the most spectacular design you can think of, and make it in your own garden!

I will choose the best design of them all to use as our garden, and save our marriage!

After 14 days in which you must construct, judges will be around to judge the decoration of your “lawn”, be it functional like a camp or not like garden. The judging will last 7 days, and will be scored on Color (The amount of color and color choices), Design (Shape, placement, and overall interest), and Impression (How impressed a Judge is with the design) with a traditional 10 point scale on each.

As a special note, 12 Month Prepay camp decoration does not entitle an instant win.

  • Enter the contest by sending a chat to Elfus. Good luck Egyptians!
