The event will finish before you gain BB if you win... You can read the instructions in the game and you'll be able to see that.

How many times can one participate in this part of the event?

With enough time and flowers ofcourse I can create some nice things. But if I can only submit one then I will have to think it trough.

You can update your design as many times as you want but every time you update your ranking will restart. Of course, if you're trying to impress the judges, that's probably worth it. Design > ranking when it comes to the top prizes.

Hate to say it but the ranking system has a few flaws... namely people entered empty gardens which are now top rated because they've had more time in the system

Is there a way to share our photo with our BW2 friends? ie a link to our garden with a voting button or to the contest page where our image is hosted? Something like the way BW1 does the House competition where you can post to your homefeed, etc..... Right now the process is anonymous (not sure if it was intended to be that way).

go into the garden and click on inventory, you can then place them anywhere in there, and also click the 'store' to get few other things you might want and will need if you want a certain achievement

I agree with Rosemarie; I would much prefer too see all entries and vote for what I liked most - not be forced into a vote to view all entries... a skip option to keep viewing entries or a page of 10/20 gardens to select a garden for a vote would be more suitable...

I agree. I pretty much gave up on voting because I was forced to choose between two practically blank gardens for several pages. An option to skip voting or to have pages with more than two options would be great. It would also be nice to know how many votes your own garden has accumulated.

One thing I have noticed while editing my garden is that no item can be rotated. I have tried to rotate planter boxes and some of the larger flowers.

We adjusted the ranking system yesterday evening so that gardens that are downrated enough no longer appear, and that has severely cut down on the number of blank gardens in the system. Give it a try again. The more people rank, the faster the blank gardens will be eliminated. There are some really cool ones in there!

Luna - the reason we organized it in a head-to-head is so people can't scroll through, vote for their friends' gardens, and be done with it, essentially making it a popularity contest. This way you have to rate the gardens of strangers as well.

There should still be an option to skip a page when you have two completely blank gardens to choose from. Something like this does not really warrant a vote.

I do like the anonymous side of the voting; however I still feel there is an issue here - like Marci's link shows, there are pages and pages of gardens that are blank or have very little, going through them all is tedious.
