CCC XXII

[KlaasK]

Are there still few entries, or are some still stuck in the system?

[Bluesecrets]

As of last night, I had them all approved. I haven't looked today. It's a seriously good opportunity to win at this point.

[KlaasK]

Thanks!

But still I hope there will come some more entries!

In the Battle Scene category can the two distinct sides be a 2 alliances of different factions or they must be 2 recognizable factions?

It should be at least 2 so it shows a battle. They do not need to 100% match but they need to be recognizable as different factions.

The contest ended on Sunday and we are getting started on the judging process! Great submissions everyone!

Thanks for organizing this years CCC as well.

It was a really nice one, sad I didn't have enough time for some of the categories this time though, still I really liked the competition, and there were some really nice entries made.

[Kurojaki]

Good work organizing, I hope there's many many more to come. This time couldn't do anything myself due to being away from my lego almost all the time.

I've been looking at the entries every now and then and there's much great stuff. I think I'll make my personal favorites list or something later on. And comment some on their threads at some point at least.

[Bluesecrets]

To be 100% transparent. Judging has officially started. We plan to be quick as we have been the last few years.

[KlaasK]

Thrilling!

[Bluesecrets]

Judging is complete. I need some time to crunch numbers, and then we need time to make the announcement page.

[josdu]

Awesome! Although there was not a huge CCC turnout this year, it was enjoyable to have the time over the summer to make one entry at least! And I know a couple of people who crushed it and stand a great chance at Master Builder!

Please remember if you are a winner, you need to contact me through the private messaging system here. Look up to the right, it says "private message" click it put my screen name in and write me a message.

Also, if you are international, please know the rules about how we can best ship. Some countries have rules about shipping toys. And according to our rules, we split the cost for international shipping.

If you are choosing to take the LEGO gift card option instead of the set, please be aware that it will be in USD and you will have to call LEGO to get it converted to your currency. We know that is a total pain in the ear, but it is how LEGO gift cards have worked in the past.

Many people in the past have not given us a way to get prizes to them. Such as, we don't get real names. We get emails that people do not respond to. They do not respond to flickr mail or private messages here. In fact, I have a prize from 3 CCC's ago that I can not ship out because I can not get the person to communicate with me let alone give me an address. I have tried over and over.

This is why the rule says it is your responsibility to contact us. We know all the negatives that existed from the CCC in the past and we are trying to not have them continue. One has always been prize shipping. We want them in your hands as soon as possible.

[KlaasK]

Then that doesn't sound like people are very happy to have won a prize.... Or they are satisfied with the honour and don't want to put in the effort for the prize.
