Yes, I know my blog contest names are waaaaay creative. At least I used some rudimentary French this time.
ANYWHO
The challenge is this:
You must build a MOC (duh). But not just any boring, ordinary MOC. You must build one of MY MOCs in YOUR style. And then you have to make it better.
Let that sit in a little. Good? Ok.
I'll clarify:
The challenge is that you have to rebuild one of my MOCs (it doesn't matter which one [well, it kinda does but I'll get to that later]) in your own style, but you have to improve upon my MOC. You can be the judge of how you improve it, but you have to justify it to me (don't worry, I'm pretty accepting on the whole justification thing).
Now, onto the (gritty) details:
-You can enter as many different MOCs as you want, but only one will go onto Judging. I'll decide which one goes on
-There is going to be a point system. I am not going to tell you how it works (except for the bonus points)
-I should be able to tell that it's supposed to be one of my MOCs, but better and in a different style (again, I'm pretty lenient)
-There is a prize for both first and second place. First gets a Technic Fig, second gets a purple Pakari
-NO MASS PMING PEOPLE (which really shouldn't be a problem but you never know)
Speaking of which, there is no direct voting for this contest. After the entry period ends there is only Judging. But multiple rounds of it of course. Here's how it's going to work:
-Your MOC is going to be assigned points by me. You won't know the point values.
-After the entry period, I will post an entry with all of the entrants and open it for the "suggestions" round of Judging
-In the suggestions round, you're free to suggest which MOCs you think should go onto the next round. I'll pick the ones that I want and two of the most popular other ones.
-The next round doesn't involve you. I pick which one I like the most and it wins. End of story.
Of course, I'm going be judging on multiple factors, so don't worry about bias.
OH, and the bonus points of course:
-Bonus Points will be awarded for originality/obscurity
-Bonus Points will be awarded for extra difficulty
-Bonus points will be awarded for unique parts usage
-Bonus points will be awarded for shaping and technique
-Bonus points will be TAKEN AWAY for Toa. Yes, I may have some Toa MOCs, but if you build one it'll lose you some bonus points
-Bonus points will be TAKEN AWAY for Matoran. See above.
-Bonus points will be TAKEN AWAY for excessive amounts of System.
Also during the Suggestion period, you can feel free to suggest MOCs that you think should get more Bonus Points. Yes, you can suggest your own.
In the end, the entry with the most bonus points will also win a prize (it's a secret!), unless that entry is in first or second, and then it will go to the next highest.
Here's my brickshelf gallery for anyone who needs it
The Building period starts NOW and ends on the 24th of September at 11:59 EST.
Judging will last from the 25th to the 26th, and I will need the addresses of the winners by September 28th. If you do not get me your address by that time, you forfeit your prize.
Whew, that was a long post. Feel free to ask questions, and have fun building.
Good luck!
