August Creative Competition – Impossible Creatures

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

We’re a month into the second half of 2024 already! Where has the time gone? August each year in Australia means National Science Week and for us it’s no different. The schools theme this year is Species Survival – More than just sustainability. According to the NSW website:

The theme aims to highlight the importance of science and innovation in ensuring the survival and thriving of different species in an ever-changing world.

For our August competition we’ve decided to do something inspired by this, with Impossible Creatures. Create a hybrid animal for a specific purpose. An example could be a bowerbird and a shark – it hunts for treasure deep in the ocean!

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 August Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the July gate which will close to building at 9pm on Wednesday July 31st.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of August1st, so get thinking about your build!
