1st place will get to choose which prize they want. If it is Diamond Supporter (kindly donated by ISMOOCH) send ISMOOCH, myself and ICC a private message. If it's the dragon egg, please collect it from 4006 on SMP2 and LET ME KNOW.

2nd place winner - who can find out which prize they won by checking back here after 1st place has decided - can do the same to redeem their supportership or pick up their dragon egg from 4006.

Welcome to the 2nd EMC Lot Building Contest! The first one, led by ISMOOCH, was a great success but I think that it's time to hold a new one for EMC's great new builders, in 2013! The major prize up for grabs is a dragon egg (not original) and a huge combined rupees prize!

How it will work
Anyone that wishes to enter has until roughly Sunday 14th, July to get their residence in with the format below via a PM.

I will then visit all the competitors residences and take screenshots which will then be submitted to an album.

Judging will take place in 2 stages:

1. 1 judge will choose the top 25 entries after they close on the 14th July.
2. Stage 2 (beginning around the 17th July) will allow the community to pick the best residences (for the egg). After all the albums are uploaded they will each be linked on the this thread next to their respective res numbers and a different form link will be posted here to allow everyone to vote for their favourite res's!

When voting, 1st choice is 3 points, 2nd choice is 2 points and 3rd choice is 1 point.

By the 24th July voting will be closed and tallied. After that's all done, winners will be announced and they can collect their prizes at 4006 on SMP2.

Now, here's what you can win and how:

Prizes & Categories
First/Second Place (Major) - A Dragon Egg!
First/Second Place (Major) - One FREE MONTH of Diamond Supporter!
The winner with the most votes gets to choose their prize.
Third Prize - 20,000r!

Wildcard Prize - The residence (can not already be a winner) that was chosen as the best by the judges will win 20,000r.
Special Prizes - 20,000r for each category whose winners will be decided by judges!
Originality - if it is the same old shop res then you're chances of winning this prize are low. Now, if you build something we've never seen before then they're high!
Creativity - The most creative residence will win this category, meaning the one that really stands out from the rest.
Best non-supporter residence
Best Utopia residence - 20,000r to the best residence created on Utopia.
Voting Prize - 10,000r to a random voter.

Thanks for clearing that

(Looks at dirt shack)

I think you've won then

Oh, I am entering this.

Just clarified that first rule a little bit

Its time to....
GET CREATIVE

Whats this creative thing you talk about?

Its a reference to a video called "Dont hug me, I'm scared" Its pretty creepy :/

'ello. looks interesting.

i'm assuming these lots have to be completed? ... or that it would be best if they were?
i'd say my battcave, but it isn't done yet..

also, i have another question, can i enter someone else's lot ? they don't use the forums, but her res is so worth a shot, essjaysammy, utopia 5304.

I'll enter, and, the ending will be July, roght? So we got around the 6 weeks to finish residences?

Damn, 4444 isn't ready. Only if someone sold me quartz...

Well, I have motivation to finish my project now. Time to procrastinate!
