Battle for the Gold Mask Competition!

[Tufi Piyufi]

Can we use Mindstorms?

Would mindtorm  bricks count as system? !!!

You can use Mindstorms, and it counts as Technic.

[UnderscoreChronix]

 

To be honest I think allowing people to use LDD is pretty unfair since they have access to an infinite number of parts in colors that don't exist, which makes it unfair on people making real physical creations.

The rules state that LDD entries cannot use parts in colors that do not exist.

 

Ah, that's good. 

I have seen a few entries using things like tan CCBS shells etc, will they be disqualified?

[Toaraga]

A contest judged indirectly and directly by LEGO. How fascinating. Too bad I haven't done anything creatively with BIONICLE pieces in a while.

The entry topic says to post a link to a picture or gallery. So... are we not allowed to put a picture in the post, with a link to the rest of them? The main picture has to be a link, too?

It's a very real possibility.

You can put a picture in the post as long as it complies with BZPower's image-posting rules.

Hello again!

 

Can someone please check this MOC to see if the colours are right before I enter it? All of the colours used are available in the standard version of LDD, but I'd like someone to check if these colours are eligible.

 

Here's a link: http://www.mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=400099&id=/user_images/116750/1415277609m_DISPLAY.jpg

 

Thanks in advance. 

[Nescent]

Is there a maximum entry size or resolution?

 

Also could somebody take a quick glance and tell me if these violate any rules? Entry 1, Entry 2. I'd just like to be sure before I submit them.

[Rauta]

Is there a ruling on using substitute parts in LDD, such as arranging a few pieces to create the general shape of another piece, even though those parts might not appear in the color of the intended piece?

 

Some part examples might be the new gearbox piece, or the sprung gearbox x928cx1 that appeared the hockey sets. Both can be arranged using simple parts, but appeared in colors the individual pieces did not appear in, like orange.

 

I ask because the new Chima shoulder armor has been added to LDD Extended, but the new gearbox has not, and a few upcoming entries may use this new piece.

No. If we start doing this for one or two people everyone will start asking. And we simply do not have the time to do that.

You can only use actual parts in the colors they have been produced in. You can certainly replace a piece with multiple other pieces, but only if they actually connect to each other.

So i have a youtube channel and i was wondering if I could i make a youtube video of my creation and link the youtube vid and use that as my submission? I'll probably also link pictures too along with the linked youtube video.

can we use Hero Factory pieces?

[END]

can we use Hero Factory pieces?

The rules say you can "Your entry must be least 75% Constraction/Technic and a maximum of 25% System elements". Hero Factory and Bionicle are constraction.

[Biolight]

This might be a really dumb question but,are  we allow to use custom build torsos or arms or legs?

You can build anything as long as you are using official, non-modified, non-painted, Lego parts. So no custom parts or modified parts or parts that have been painted.

[Tufi Piyufi]

A reminder, guys: please don't answer contest questions if you're not contest staff.

Static pictures for your entry picture only, please.

 

can we use Hero Factory pieces?

Absolutely!

 

This might be a really dumb question but,are  we allow to use custom build torsos or arms or legs?

Definitely! Just make sure they're constructed entirely from legal LEGO elements.

You must post a picture of your entry when you submit it. That will be the primary aspect it will be judged on. If you want to include a video as well, that's great, but it's an extra.

 

can we use Hero Factory pieces?

Of course! Those count as constraction pieces.

 

This might be a really dumb question but,are  we allow to use custom build torsos or arms or legs?

You do not have to use a pre-built torso for your creations. You can use whatever pieces you want as long as they're official LEGO pieces and have not been painted or cut.

Use of any toy parts not produced by the LEGO Group will result in your villain being disqualified

What about fabric/cloth for wings ? They would be home made, but as they're not toy parts this might be a grey area.

I would say that would not be allowed. Use only LEGO pieces in your model.

Hey, Idk what I am doing because I really just got here. If am screwing something up, sorry. I was wondering if 3 people could work together. Please reply.

[Black Six]

No. MOCs must be the work of a single individual.

[Mallow Toa of Smashing]

I've got the photos of my moc ready to go, but I was wondering. Would a link to a Mocpages creation be an acceptable submission method?

Does this have to be verified?

[Matt9898]

How do I submit my MOC creations into the competition

[Black Six]

I've got the photos of my moc ready to go, but I was wondering. Would a link to a Mocpages creation be an acceptable submission method?

You need to link directly to at least one image of your MOC. You can also include your MOCPages link as well if you'd like.

We have no easy way to verify this, but if we find out you have lied to us, you will be disqualified.

 

How do I submit my MOC creations into the competition

You click the link in the first post that says, 'submit your entries here.' You can also click this link.

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

How does judging work? Does just Black Six pick the BZPower contestant? 

[Toa of Gallifrey]

Can a piece be unconnected so long as it still fits well in the model without falling out?

[Black Six]

How does judging work? Does just Black Six pick the BZPower contestant?

Six judges, one from each of the six sites, will decide on the finalists from each site.

 

Can a piece be unconnected so long as it still fits well in the model without falling out?

Yes, that would be fine. We are not requiring 'legal' connections.

[Bricko Botface]

Is there a maximum entry size or resolution?

 

Also could somebody take a quick glance and tell me if these violate any rules? Entry 1, Entry 2. I'd just like to be sure before I submit them.

 

As they won't check them before you enter them, what you could do is create a topic for them and ask people there, I'm sure people would be glad to help (although, some maybe too glad:P).

 

I hope this doesn't come across as an answer, I sincerely apologize if it does.

Thanks, I'm about finished with another entry, then I'll probably make a topic for all of them

I know we aren't allowed to changes the pictures after we submit but are we allowed to fix typos in the description?

[Gringat the Repugnant]

What's the contest's stance on cut flexible or ribbed tubing used in entries? Is it classed as piece modification, or still purist since they come in variable lengths and even require cutting in some existing sets from TLG?

[Black Six]

You cannot cut or modify any parts, including tubing.

I posted an entry called Vroxx quite a while back. I only had one link that led to my gallery, but the first image was my entry picture. Should I make another post with a separate link to the main image?

[Alto Magna]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but are we allowed to update an entry after submitting it to the competition topic so long as the update is completed prior to the submission period closing?

No, once your entry has been submitted it cannot be altered.

Good to know the big "edited" message beneath the post doesn't doom my entry.  

[Leoxandar Arktanus]

I have a question. What would be the best way to display pictures of my creation? I've seen that most users seem to link to other sites and image galleries, so is there any preferred method or could I just post the pictures in the topic?

[Bricko Botface]

Would borrowing pieces from a friend not count as collaboration provided the friend had no input on the entry and helped in no other way?
