You'll be using the BYC Page & Article Creation Tool to design your pages and creating a page here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coop_Designs
Things to include in your page:
- Start with a finished coop picture at the top of your page
- Have a write-up of how you built your coop. Include any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build a similar coop.

- Pictures of your coop as it was being constructed.
- Finished pictures of your coop.
- A list of things you want to change or add to your coop.

To increase your chances of winning the contest, make sure it has as many of the elements above in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:
1) Follow the format of some of the existing coop pages.
2) The more details and pictures the better!
3) Plans plans plans. Very few coop designs have plans available. If you post plans (rough or detailed) of your coop you'll get bonus points for sure!
4) Pictures - We all love lots of big beautiful and helpful pictures!
5) Remember, this is a contest for the most helpful coop build page and not the best looking coop.
We expect to add all of the pages submitted to the coop design page of BYC, but the best will win the contest.
