Hey everyone!
It has been a while since we have had a truely successful building contest. Depending on how this one goes, there should be many more in the future.

What is the building contest?
This is a contest we hold for anyone in the community who is ranked builder or higher, to give you a chance to show off your building skill and earn some cool prizes! Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries.
How do I enter?
To enter, simply join the Contest map (/j contest01), and start building! If your building will not fit in a Contest map and you own a personal map, feel free to build it there. Also, we will open up more Contest maps if necessary (Contest02, Contest03, etc.).
How much time will I have to build?
The contest will be open on August 1st and you will have exactly 2 weeks to build. For those of you who are bad at math, you will have until the 14th.
How is the contest judged?
Our group of Event Planners will be reviewing all entries after the two-week building period is over. We will privately hold an unbiased vote to determine the winners, based on characteristics such as effort, detail, originality, and adherence to the theme. This process usually takes about one week, and the winners will be posted on the forums.
"Ooh, I started on something cool last week, can I finish it and use it as my entry?"
Unfortunately, we can't allow that. To keep things fair, everyone is given two weeks to build something from scratch.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me through IRC, or PM me on the forums.
