At last D&Co presents the Final Fifteen of the 11th Bi-annual Housing Week in Middle Earth contest !
It’s time for everyone to sit down with a pen and paper (and maybe something to drink/eat) and tally up the points for their favorite Kinship Houses in this edition of Housing Week in Middle-Earth contest.
First of all I want to warmly thank every single one of the entrants who decided to participate in this winter’s contest ! There were 74 total entries this time around.
Again, thank you to everyone who participated!
Unfortunately, as is always the case, choices had to be made. I decided to present a list of 15 homes with descriptions and pictures. As always, it is very complicated to organize a contest with numbers beyond this.
However, I want the home owners whom I could not select to know I appreciate their participation very much. As always, my decisions are often based on a number of different criteria but everyone had some nice and unique things to show.
So here they are, 15 houses from which a single one will be chosen to rule them all ! As always, a photo report has been created for each house but I strongly encourage you to visit them all yourselves if possible. Take your time in exploring them, tally up the numbers, cast your votes, and enjoy !
Note: the name of the neighborhood is not necessarily very similar depending on the language used in the game, so the language of the client (launcher) is specified each time under the address.

With regards to the voting….
Housing Week in Middle Earth would not be what it is without your (the public’s) thoughts and participation. Thank you for your time in considering the final candidates and submitting your votes.
The voting system :
- Each house is given an average score from 1 to 10 made up of the public’s and the jury’s votes
- The weighting is as follows : 30% for the Jury, 70% for the public
- The Jury determines the winner of the Jury Prize
- The Rewards are listed here.
The rules :
- You have until Sunday, July 4th, 11:59pm EST time, to vote.
- You can rate each house anywhere from 1 to 10
- You can vote for one or more houses, there are no restrictions
- One vote per person (I'm watching you :p!)
You can vote for yourself if you like.
Play fair !
- Votes like "I give myself a 10 and everyone else a 1" will be refused.
You can give yourself a 10 but intentionally lowering the average score of other houses will not be considered.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask !
>> VOTE - CLOSED <<

D&Co du Milieu
is their a reason why their only one laurien kin house in the final 15 and more from the other severs?
Probably for the same reason(s) mine didn’t make one of the 15. Decorations that excel require tough choices.
I love what you did in your yard, since you’re here ! 🙂 And the first room with the floating stone was awesome too. But as you said, tough choices :s…
No particular reasons. I never consider the server when I visit houses. By that, I mean that the goal here is not to make a contest with 2 houses from each servers or something like that.
Also, I don’t receive the same amount of entries from all the servers. I had 12 entries on Landroval this time and only 8 on Laurelin but this is just an example.
I messed up on my vote. I only gave 1 point thinking it was how you did it. Then found out you moved the slider to how many points you wanted to give each house. I sent another vote in and would like to delete my first vote. My friends did the same thing since we were talking about how to vote in the beginning, They are Tauwny and Bearbella. They sent in another correctly voted vote in, too. Can you see these votes and delete our first votes?
I’ll keep an eye on it and make the appropriate changes. 😉
Thank you so much. I want to give everyone’s kinship house a nice vote and so do my two friends.
