September's Seed Part Challenge Rules! - READ!

[Bluesecrets]

The seed part challenge with my little twist. Now for the important questions:

Who is eligible?
Any Forbidden Cove member, except myself (this includes mods and admins)

What is a seed part challenge?
Well it’s simple. I name a part(s); you build a PIRATE MOC with the seed part(s) in the most creative way possible.

To be infinitely clear here: The MOC will be judged SOLELY on the creativity of the seed part(s).

Please keep the content of this MOC appropriate for minors. Any MOC built with innuendo or inappropriate content will be disqualified and removed.

How many times can I enter?
This time you can enter THREE times if you so wish.

Are there size restrictions?
Yep. You are limited to a base of 16x16 this time.

Is there a rule about overhang?
You bet your booty there is. The last few contest people have been ignoring the rule of no overhang, especially the last contest. This time, no means no. You overhang, you get a disqualify. Especially since I enlarged the base for this month.

Can I build SNOT?
Sure.

Can I use tiles then?
Sure.

Can I use more than one of the part in my MOC?
Sure. But don’t just fill up the MOC with useless parts just to see how many you can jam into it. That is a waste of an entry.

Does my seed part(s) have to the be same color as you showed?
Nope. Use what you have.

What is the rule about the pictures?
Host them where you want. But, you are limited to three pictures in the sub folder or set. Yes, I said subfolder or set. I am not going searching through your whole photo stream at flickr to find your entries. More than three pictures in this subfolder will disqualify you. A fourth picture as a thumbnail is not permitted. Also, if you plan on winning a contest, make sure you pictures are good. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone for crappy pictures that I can not see the moc, too dark pictures, and too fuzzy.

Your pictures need to show the seed part(s). If I have to guess where and what you used it for, because it is not easy to see, you'll be disqualified.

What is the time line?
I will announce the part on the first of the month. And open the building that day.

On the 20th of the month at 11:59 pm EST all submissions must be entered and visible. (This means if you are using brickshelf, they better already have been moderated and are up for all to look at WITHOUT a deeplink.) This month you have less time, due to my travel at the end of the month. But, I did announce early, and it will make the announcement for October's seed part early also.

I will then judge, pick the winner, pm for an address, and send the prize.


Prize you say?
Yes there is a prize. This time the prize has options. The winner gets to pick from three different fig selections.
Selection 1: The three Atlantis theme monsters: the shark, the squidman, and the manta man
Selection 2: Three new soldiers
Selection 3: Three of the Indiana Jones natives
I shall take photos of these options as soon as they arrive and post them in this thread.

Can I use a WIP or another MOC that I’ve modified?
No.

Can I use custom pieces?
Sure and decals if you would like. But no clones brand pieces. And please keep the decals and customs to a minimum.

Anything else?
Yes there is. If you do not like the rules of this contest, then please go else where to find another contest. Arguing will immediately disqualify you.

One winner will be chosen using set criteria that follows the rules. Any complaining or whining after the fact, in other words, being a poor loser, and you will be permanently disqualified from any other seed part challenge I run.

The admins of Forbidden Cove reserve the right to remove any entries at any given time.
