Not exactley sure what you mean by : “All entries must include an object denoting that the submission is for the Mike Feinberg Company Best Black and Gold Game Room Contest. A simple piece of paper with “Mike Feinberg Company” written on it will suffice.”
How do we do that?
Do you want something actually on the picture?
Please explain.
Thank you.

Dear Steel,
Thank you for your interest in the contest. I’m sorry if we weren’t clear enough in the submission guidelines. What we meant was, when the picture is taken of your “Black and Gold Game Room”, in the photo should be something showing that the picture was taken for the Mike Feinberg Company “Black and Gold Game Room Contest”.
For example, when you take your photo of your game room hang a piece of paper on the wall with “Mike Feinberg Company” written on it.
This is to ensure that the photo was actually taken for this contest specifically and isn’t just a photo found on the internet of someone else’s “Black and Gold Game Room”

No problem. Thanks for the clarification.
I’m going to re-take a few pictures right now.
Thanks again.
