  4. Official BBC Contest #81: Water You Building!

    Water! It's great. It's everywhere. It's most of everyone. You don't have much of a future without it. It leaves its mark on the world in countless ways, from mighty canyons to the empty glasses surrounding you right now. There is no one way to water.

    That's why the essence of wetness itself is our latest contest theme. Build something on the subject of water. Toa of Water? Aquatic life? The very seas themselves? Take a swing at it.

    Water, of course, is also the theme for this year's Brickfair Virginia. While this contest is connected to our usual Brickfair presence, we're changing things up this year. You don't have to send your entry to Brickfair to be eligible for the polls, but it will make you eligible for a raffle. One lucky entrant will win a 5002942 Bionicle Villain Pack!

    If you do choose to send your entry, please make sure it gets to Black Six no later than July 28. See our Convention Circuit topic for more info, including goodies!

    So what are you waiting for? Dive in!

    Is there a clear way to see how many people have already entered or what subject matter they chose? I'm wondered I may double up. 

    I'll see about getting the list up soon, but I'd recommend just going with what you want to enter.

    Bonus announcement: the deadline is now Sunday, April 2nd at 11:59 PM Eastern. Things come up, earnest pleas are made, et cetera and so forth. It's still going to be here before you know it, though, so keep building!

  10. Official SBC Contest 4: The Gift That Keeps On Giving!

    We kicked off 2023 with the first new Bionicle release in years, 40581 Tahu and Takua. It's great to see Bionicle get a little more official love, even if it's in a different form than usual. Honestly, isn't "built different" at the core of Bionicle anyways?

    Now you're going to build different, but the same, if you catch me. What we want this time is for you to build a Bionicle set in the style of 40581 Tahu and Takua. Pick a set, view it from a more System-based lens, and get to work! G1 or G2, it's all good. Just put those bricks to use!

    And by bricks, I mean ones made of either plastic or code. Digital entries are welcome in this contest. And while we're at it, custom stickers are also welcome in this contest. You're not required to ask us to imagine real hard what your printed Kanohi would look like.

    We're not going to sit around and imagine your MOCs, though. Get building!

  12. The Printed Parts Spectacular!

    The rise of 3D printing has been a boon to Bionicle fans. It might have some other uses, but it's been revolutionary for bringing masks, weapons, and other cool parts to life. You want some accessories straight out of the MNOLG? How about movie accurate limbs? I bet you'd be down for a replica of a prototype mask...

    And while you could display these fan creations on their own, there's plenty of fun to be had using them in MOCs. Just ask anyone who's built a MOC with printed parts! In fact, I'll make it super easy to do that.

    Our mission this month is to highlight 3D-printed parts and the MOCs using them. This isn't a contest, but a showcase. Post your MOC(s) that have 3D-printed parts in this topic! It doesn't matter how old they are. If you posted a topic for it, go ahead and link it; there's no revival for anything shared in this showcase. We're on a mission to look at the cool things you're doing or have already done, and no way are you getting punished for being ahead of the curve.

    For extra motivation, one lucky participant will get a $25 USD Shapeways gift card! They'll be chosen at random, and it's one entry per person posting MOCs. You can post as many as you like, you just get the one shot at the card.

    "But Tufi!" you say. "By giving out a gift card to people who already own 3D-printed pieces, you aren't increasing the number of people who can participate in this area of fandom!" You're right, of course. That's why we're running a raffle for another $25 USD Shapeways gift card, free for anyone to enter!

    Posting runs from now until Saturday, December 31st at 11:59 PM Eastern. Now let's see some MOCs!

    Do we have to send it to Brickfair? the way the article is worded seems that that's part of the entering process.

    Yes: in order to be eligible for voting for these specific contests, your entry needs to get to Brickfair Virginia somehow. Whether that's by sending it to Black Six, giving it to someone else who's attending, or by bringing it yourself is up to you. Entries not at Brickfair by the time specified will not be eligible for voting.

  16. Official BBC Contest #80: Death and Rebirth!

    The Brickfair contest has returned! For years, we've held a BBC contest during the summer where the entries are put on display at Brickfair Virginia, and voting takes place both on BZP and in-person at the convention. We've held off for the last two years, but we're back!

    We take cues from each Brickfair's theme for the contest theme. This year, it's construction. Very appropriate, nice choice. We're not playing it straight. 
     
    This time, your mission is to build something in a state of deconstruction or decay. Show me something that's seen better days. Embrace that extant form of life.
     
    And once you've built your entry? Get It to Brickfair! Whether you're sending it in, letting it hitch a ride with a friend, or bringing it yourself, you have from now until Friday, August 5th at 10 A.M. Eastern to get it to Brickfair for voting. That's right: you've got over twice the time as usual to build and enter.
     
    For bonus points, register your entry on our convention circuit! By points, I mean  things like free sets. That's basically a prize just for showing up. You'll need to do that separately, but you'll find all the information you need in this topic.
     
    But why wait? Let's get busy dying!
     
    -------------------------
     
    You have from now until Friday, August 5th at 10:00 A.M. Eastern to submit your entries. Submit your entry by Friday, July 29 to have a custom MOC card made for your entry! To submit your entries, just use this handy form. Only one entry per person, please.
