(Note: Competition HAS NOT started yet, but you are free to get started if you wish, i still need to find staff judges, and get full permission, but please leave you support for the contest on this thread so i can see if it will work out!)

If i get more than 20 submissions, the competition ends at the end of march!

Hello, if you are reading this, you have just stumbled upon the SMP build of the month thread!

I had an idea recently to do a top build competition in SMP. The idea of this "competition" is to encourage awesome looking builds throughout the map. The builds won't just be judged on size, or resource need, but on; colour choice, block choice (yes, they are different), overall "theme" (i.e. castle, ship, house, or whatever, as long as it goes together), and completion (if you build is unfinished, or look that way, you will not be rated as highly) which also essential means tidiness. So, now that you know what we are looking for, lets get into the rules!

• There is no build too big, or too small. I don't care if its 5x5, if you did a good job you can win, but large builds do look more impressive tipicaly.
• Builds CAN NOT be altered after submission.
• Only one submission per player, but multiple players can work on one submission.
• Your submission DOES NOT need to be exclusive to the competition, but each build can only be used once. (You can use your house for all I care, but you can't use it for the next competition)
• Your submission can only be one building (I'm not going to count a city as a build, UNLESS you are the only one involved in making it).
• You must get in your submission before the end of the month (the last day of the current month).
• You CAN NOT use other people builds, that includes using builds you have seen on MCForum or anywhere else. But, it is allowed to use ideas from other builds
• And, as if i really have to say this, but griefing of ANY kind in this competition is completely forbidden! and WILL result in a ban from our servers.

Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification, and your fee will not be returned!

Fee you ask? Why yes there is a $1 000 fee to pay to enter. This is for 2 reasons. One being that it shows you are serious, and not wasting my time. 2 prizes! You think i would set up a competition and have no reward? Well, I'm not evil Yenwood, so prizes are as follows!

1st Place: 50% of the total amount of fees received (ex. fees = 1000, 1000 x 0.5 = 500, so you would get 500 if the total amount of fees was 1000)
2nd Place: 35% of total fees (follow the equation above, just replace 0.5 with 0.35)
3rd Place: 15% of total fees (follow the equation for the first prize, just replace 0.5 with 0.15)
Anyone lower than 3rd will not have a cash reward, but 4th and 5th will get the runner up position, and be announced with the winners.

Step 1: /mail send captmack , and post that you have entered (no need to put your coords to keep your build private) on this page.
Step 2: When myself, or another judge is online AND active, send them the $1 000 fee, and be sure to confirm that they have received it. The judge should update the competitors list once you have done so.
Step 3: Don't touch your build and wait for the winner to be announced!

So, now that I've rambled on forever, and you are on the ground snoring, Lets get this show on the road! Have fun, and good luck to all competitors!
