May Creative Competition – Sand Castle

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

We’re doing something a little different in May’s competition and limiting your block choices dramatically!

Next month we’re doing Sand Castle. Think about how your builds would look if they were made of sand on the beach!

With this build, you’re limited to the following items:

  • Sand
  • Sandstone (and variants)
  • Red sand
  • Red sandstone (and variants)
  • Orange and brown concrete powder
  • brown terracotta
  • string for support if need be

You can use other coloured concrete powders for very minor details, but that is it! No wood, grass, stone etc. Just the listed items above. There will be the block options visible by the gate. If other blocks are used in your build, it won’t be eligible to receive votes.

Remember, each month counts in terms of points, plus there’s the Builder Rank Competition too – the GOLD bordered plots are for Builders only – do not claim these if you are not a builder. If you do, we will clear them without warning, regardless of whether there’s builds on it or not.

The May Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the April gate which will close to building at 9pm on Tuesday April 30th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of May 1st, so get thinking about your build! Thank you to Nemo for the gate build and the theme idea! Very cool.
