Well, my design was ready, I had Bandola dress up in jeans and a camo jacket with a stocking over his head, He was armed with a sawn-off and carrying a backpack for his ill gotten gains. I needed a good location to take the screenshot, so I thought it was obvious, I'll go to the bank. So there I was in the bank in Coronet, just about to take the screenshot when suddenly....
Tear gas shells fly in through the door and a heavily armed swat team crash in through the windows, Bandola was whisked away in the back of an unmarked... 
I think it may be some time before I will be able to participate again as Bandola is languishing in a cell awaiting trial

I'm sorry, but I'm new here (just got Architect recently), and don't understand how these contests work.
If someone would care to explain the rules to me, I'd be more than happy to submit an entry.
No one answered my question
I got a general idea from the only submission, but is there anything really I need to know?

I figured Dvnce would answer.
My understanding is at the start of the contest Dvnce will annouce the theme. We have 1 week to create our submission, using anything in the game. (This round we are trying something new...extra points are being given for using crafted items from the other crafting professions as well.) Then, a week after he announced the theme, he makes a new post for us to post links to pictures of our submission, along with a deadline for submissions. Then, once the deadline has expired, there is a week of judging, and a winner is announced.
Dvnce, please correct me if I have any of it wrong or forgot something.

Sorry to dissapoint, guys. Business was too good this weekend, and between 7 factory runs of well over 1000 items, restocking a couple of vendors, and out of town guests, all I have so far is a fat human with a mohawk behind a teller window.
I'll finish him off just for completeness sake, but it looks like I'm out of this contest. Not that I would have been any competition for the vault, but hey .
.The vault definately has my vote.

Well focused is a plus and so is general. Really the problem I had, and why I couldn't really get anything this weekend done, was that I couldn't think of what to put in a bank. There's tellers, a guard, and a vault. Maybe some cubicles. Well I wasn't going to rip off the vault so all that left was a vendor behind a desk-like structure and the unmentionable evil of corporations
If you were to have asked for, say, a game room or a bar theme then I'm sure a ton of people would have something to do. Maybe have something focused on space since we all have ship paintings and the SE hype isn't quittin'. I dunno, what do I look like soemone creative?

I like a general topic. It gives more freedom to be creative and come up with ideas. I also like RL things that people can relate to more.
Can't wait for friday.

Well, maybe something like this...
'Something you would find in Coruscant' as the subject. And then say some items you must use. Things that can be used for anything. Say the Yellow Couch. Or the Ottoman. Or a Bookcase. Or several items.

It's friday. What's the new theme? hehehehe
Just kidding...mostly.
Can't wait to get started. I already started packing up my vault to make room for the next round. I've got a house I named "Agod's Mad Architect Lab - Boldly building what no fish has built before" that I'm using as the staging area for my limited edition creations for this contest. Problem is that I'm a perfectionist, and I custom name all my stuff, so typically I can't sell the stuff after I'm done with it. But oh well, it's worth it to me to have it look as right as possible, not just in pictures, but in person too.
I'll be checking for Round 4 every 30 seconds or so...

You could put up the ss and try to sell the vault on your trade forum. Who knows someone might be interested in having a massive security look to their storage shed, it looks good enough to easily attract some people.
