December Creative Competition – Farms

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

We’re coming up on the last month of the year. Normally this means a Christmas themed competition, but this year we’ve decided to do something a little different – Farms! It’s always a popular theme so we thought we’d get it going again. Feel free to decorate it all festive too, if you really want to!

It’s also the last competition of the season, so make it count!

The December Competition world gate – located in the Creative Lobby – will replace the November gate which will close to building at 9pm on Thursday November 30th.

The gate will open in the Creative Lobby on the morning of December 1st, so get thinking about your build! A massive thanks to minywire, _1nfinite_ and Backward_Nemo for the gate build this month!

Season 2 Prizes

As you know, each month we give away the following prizes, now with the new inclusion:

  • 1st Prize: 4x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 15 Emerald Points
  • 2nd Prize: 3x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 10 Emerald Points
  • 3rd Prize: 2x diamond blocks, 1x mega crate key & 5 Emerald Points
  • Honourable mention (1 vote): 1 Emerald Point

Each month the Emerald Points are tallied up and can be seen in the Emerald Hall on the Survival Lobby world. At the halfway point of the season (March for Season 1 and September for Season 2) we give away prizes to the current top three Emerald Points winners:

  • 1st Place: 1x $25 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 2nd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 3rd Place: 1x $10 JB HiFi Voucher

At the end of the season (June and December), the grand prizes are awarded to the final top three Emerald Points winners from across the 6 months of competition. These are the big ones! This season we’re giving away:

  • 1st Prize: $250 worth of LEGO! It’ll be in the form of a LEGO store voucher, sent online. Nice and easy!
  • 2nd Prize: $100 JB HiFi Voucher
  • 3rd Prize: $50 JB HiFi Voucher

October Throne Room Build Competition Results

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s results time for the October Throne Rooms Build Competition, and man this was a tough one! We had so many massive, detailed builds, it really took some effort to nail down our votes. You should all be so proud!

We’re really excited to see what is coming in the next competition, due to be announced in a couple of week’s time. It’s going to be a good one!

On to the results!

1st Place: Smaug12345

Getting win number 2, Smaug has created a massive and imposing throne room that towers up and has a beautiful stained glass window at the back. I love the wings on the back of the throne! Congratulations Smaug!

2nd Place: qbio

Fast becoming known for his attention to detail, qbio has created an intricate mine based throne room. There’s so much to look at, both inside and outside!

3rd Place: qetzi

Seemingly out of nowhere, qetzi has come back to absolutely dominate the competition with a highly detailed nature build. We’ve not seen qetzi in the competitions since early last year, so it’s great to have him back. This stunning tree-centric build was a joy to explore.

A massive congratulations to our three winners! We also had a whopping six honourable mention this rounds, so more points scorers for the leaderboard!

September Waterfront Build Competition Results (and Mid-Season Winners!)

On By John GeijsmanIn Competitions

It’s results time for the special September Waterfront Build Competition. This was the special competition we ran in partnership with the WA Government’s Future of Fremantle Project, where we asked you to recreate your ideal waterfront and we had some really incredible results.

This was easily the hardest competition we’ve had to judge so far, and it’s also been the closest, with 2nd and 3rd getting equal points, so coming down to a vote count!

The winners of this round of competition also score some extra prizes thanks to our sponsors, for the three most innovative, creative and exciting builds.

1st Prize: $150 JB HiFi Gift card
2nd Prize: $125 JB HiFi Gift card
3rd Prize: $75 JB HiFi Gift Card

On to the results!

1st Place: qbio

A newcomer to both LibraryCraft and the competition, qbio has created an incredibly detailed (and deep) medieval style waterfront. A highly detailed building on the water’s edge, followed by a diving reef underneath. There’s even a deep dark water section, complete with skull of something ancient and very large. Congrats qbio!

2nd Place: Meowlicky

Just getting in by one vote to get second place, Meowlicky has gone a more traditional waterfront look, with a big shipwreck cafe as the main attraction!

3rd Place: YanMan_

Yan also went with a more traditional waterfront option, with a coral reef, ferris wheel and loads of people walking around. It looks like a llama went for a boat ride too!

Well done to our three winners! We also had four honourable mention this rounds, so more points scorers for the leaderboard!
