You've blanketed your homestead in snow, built the Snowman and perhaps even built your very own Toy Factory, but now it's time to tell the story of how you got there. In FrontierVille's newest contest, only the most eloquent and descriptive pioneers will win up to 500 Horseshoes from Zynga. Titled the "Winter Homestead Story Contest," players will have from now through Jan. 4 of next year to pen their perfect winter tale in 30 sentences or less.

Using up to 10 images of your snow-covered land for visual aid to your story, you will need to wow both the FrontierVille community and your fellow pioneers with your ability to pen an enthralling tale surrounding your wintry homestead. Aside from the max image and sentence limits, the rest is up to you. You could write fiction, non-fiction (we'd love to see that) or maybe even poetry. The top stories will be chosen by the FrontierVille community team, which then only the top three voted on by the game's forum users will win either 500 Horseshoes, 250 Horseshoes or 100 Horseshoes for first, second and third place, respectively. The first place story will also be featured on the FrontierVille fan page for all to see, so make sure that it's your absolute best work. Check out the contest's official rules and where to post your pioneering penmanship.
