❄️ Theme: Winter Frost Home
Your build must have a clear visual + conceptual connection to ice, snow, and winter. Strong entries usually focus on:
- winter materials and frosty decoration
- cold lighting + ice details
- consistent exterior + interior design (layout matters)
🙌 How to participate
- Join the official Discord event: https://discord.gg/heartopia?event=1466338100879036416

- Post your entry including:
- Video (required): recommended 1–2 minutes, showing the exterior, interior, and details (process is optional).
- Player ID visible: your video must clearly display your Player ID in the lower-left corner for verification.
- Title/description: give your build a name and briefly explain the inspiration, concept, and/or layout.
No Player ID visible in the video = ineligible entry. Make sure it’s clearly readable.
