We haven't had one of these in a loooong time (about 6 months!), so I think it's a good time to revive our building contest. If we like what we see and get a lot of participation, I'll continue to set these up bi-weekly!
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, and usually include things such as Steam games.
How do I enter?
To enter, simply join the Contest map (/j contest), 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 (Contest2, Contest3, etc.).
How much time will I have to build?
The contest will be open for a period of two weeks, beginning as soon as the Contest map is opened. After this time, the map will be locked and voting will begin.
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.
Anything else?
Probably, but I can't remember at the time of writing this. Make sure you read all of the rules posted on the walls of the Contest map. Have fun!
There is no contest currently running. Stay tuned!
