To echo what has been said before, this is quite a contest.
In fact, it was one of the factors that convinced me to join.
One question, however: Are our entries supposed to reflect the general scale and size of the official LEGO sets?

No.I have a little question, can I submit floating island/steampunk creation?
Yes as long as it is not huge. A joust moc can have a similar scale other other LEGO joust sets such as 383 and 6060.I have a question regarding the Joust catagory. I would like to create a complete joust scene with nobles' pavillion, tents, peasants, a little bit of medieval life at the joust, etc - in addition to the 2 jousting factions. Not on a massive scale but large (hopefully). Would this suit?
This rule has been changed. We think that it is too much of a conflict of interest. Perhaps the admins could make mocs that are not eligible for prizes and have the fans grade usLooking at the rules more clarefully, I was surprised to discover that Admins are eligible to enter.
You need to size your pictures before uploading them to Brickshelf. Brickshelf will automatically make a thumbnail image for you, so you do not need to make your own.My first question is probably retarded, but do pics that are hosted on brickshelf count as resized?
My other question is, if I have a castle for the seige category and I stick a maiden in the topmost tower, would that count for both categories?
Currently you can only use custom stickers. Custom bricks, accessories, painted or modified bricks, and clone elements are not allowed.Actually, I do have a question..... custom parts? I'm not talking about cutting up tons of bricks to make some horrible looking balista that could never be, I'm talking about some minifig accessories. Custom armor, weapons, capes, etc. The good custom stuff still retains the lego feel and is often indistinguishable from the real thing.

Me too! Seems kind of unfair that admins are stuck judging rather than enteringwunztwice wrote:I actually think that is a great idea Ben!architect wrote:...This rule has been changed.

Good luck - I tried to use string to create torsion & I didn't get very far (literally)kelderic wrote:Hey, could I possible use two small pieces of string. I am working my ballista entry, and would am going to make it really use tortion. However, I have no lego string of sutable size. I have found some string, close to the make of the string Lego uses. Would this be okey to incorperate in my design?

Admin reactions like how did he/she build that? or Woah, thats sweet!, etc are what we are looking forJust a question. What specific criteria will the individual categories be graded upon. I know that there's the playability, design, etc. However, what specific things will the admins be looking for in the creation.
This is not a custom decals contest. Any stickers should add to your entry but not be the main focus.Also for the joust category, will we score higher if we use decals, or is it irrelavent whether designs are custom or LEGO-produced?
LEGO string or very similar string would be ok. Thick rope or yarn obviously would not be ok.Hey, could I possible use two small pieces of string.

Your entry should not be much larger than the set. Yes, you can put the jail somewhere else. LEGO Castle jails have been in a variety of locations high and low.Patron of the lego wrote:So you can't a huge castle that is larger 7094? Also, for the tower with the prisioner, can it be dungeon in a castle?
