Announcement Introducing Monthly Build Competitions

[Thomas]

Hey everyone,

As the title suggests today we are going to be announcing monthly build competitions! We will be running official monthly build competition on the server which will allow you to win some awesome prizes. The theme will be different each month and may relate to an event (Christmas, for example) or could be a generic theme. We hope that these competitions will bring in more players on the server from Joel's channel and also provide more content for our current Creative players.

The theme for this month is 'Kingdoms' - inspired by the newly launched KingdomCraft series on the Smallishbeans YouTube channel.

The competition will close on the 28th of September - winners will be announced a few days later on October 1st - this is also when we will announce the theme for the following month.

In order to enter your build into the competition, you must create a new thread here with the following information:

• Minecraft IGN
• Plot ID
• Screenshots (upload to imgur.com, or your preferred image hosting site)

With every competition there are a few rules - we ask that you follow these otherwise your entry may not be counted.

• Builds MUST be on the competition server. (/competition on the server, or choose 'Creative -> Competition' in the server compass)
• The plot must be Kingdom themed
• Don't steal designs - we will find out if you do!
• Only the plot owner will win the prize. (others may help you, but they'll receive nothing in return)
• You must enter your build in the "September 2019 Build Competition Entries" area of the forums using the format provided below.

There will be 5 winners for this competition - the prizes are as follows:

• 5th: $20 Store Credit
• 4th: $20 Store Credit
• 3rd: $30 Store Credit
• 2nd: $50 Store Credit
• 1st: $100 Store Credit & an Amazon gift card with a value equivalent to £50 in your local currency

Like every competition all winners will receive a unique “Winner” rank on the server and Discord, for bragging rights!

If you have any questions about these competitions please let us know below and we will do our best to answer. Good luck!

Thanks
Thomas

Q: can we use a texture pack to make our build look nicer?

Q: can we use a texture pack to make our build look nicer?

You can but it'll be Joel that picks the winners, so you would need to specify the texture pack used and hope he uses it too. I'd probably stick with something like default or Faithful.

Question, are these replacing normal competitions?

based off this, "The theme will be different each month and may relate to an event (Christmas, for example) or could be a generic theme.", i'm assuming so. i think it's really just adding more competitions to the mix, not really replacing any.

do we have to build it on beanblockz or can we build it in a single player world?

It has to be on beanblockz so Joel and anyone else who is judging can see it : D
Although screenshots are provided they don't capture the full plot and all its glory

Is there any rules or policies in place to ensure fairness? Eg. judging takes into consideration that Mods and Ranks can use multiple plots and w/e whereas normal players don’t have any perks? Thank you!
