The Holidays are almost here. After the amazing Halloween competition an idea popped into my head Holiday themed builds!
Starting from now until Saturday January 9th you can build a Holiday, Christmas, and/or New Years themed build.
I don't want many restrictions placed on this event, but...
1. Build in the same area as everyone else. This is so that it's easier to look at the builds. The coordinates where you should build around are -3954 99 -24. This is in a large snowy area. You can easily get to it if you go to the second floor of yellow section in the nether hub. You will find a tunnel that says "Holiday Building Competition"
2. Keep it Holiday, Christmas, and/or New Years themed! The best build in terms of design, concept, theme and originality will be the winner.
3. Have you got a good idea but can't build? You can team with one other person on a build, although the prizes will have to be shared. No more than two people working on the same project though.
4. Jack and three judges of his choosing will have to see the build ingame. Screenshots only will not count!
Rewards
First place - 8 of whatever you want
Second place - 4 of whatever you want
Third place - 2 of whatever you want
Runners up - a stack of snow blocks each!
Have a great Christmas and New Years!

You'll be pleased to hear after the anger and sheer rudeness aimed my direction after winning the Halloween contest I won't be defending my crown leaving the door open to a new champion! I would ask 2 things though. 1) Aren't the prizes a little feeble? A plain horse? Wouldn't 1st prize be better as whatever winner wants within reason I.e stack of diamonds or 4 beacons or whatever pleases them? 2) With talk of map reset in January you won't have very long to enjoy your prize?

a horse with max jump, max health, and max speed is really hard to find and can only be found in wild. I assumed you could also make one via commands. Do you got another idea for the prizes? This has been planned by Alex since before the rumored reset. You deserved the win for the Halloween build since your build was great. I wasn't part of that group who was angry at you.

My prizes were given to me by Alex by use of command so I assumed this was going to be the case with any prize going forward? I've given some suggestions for prizes and like I said as long as it's not a stupid request the winner should get what they want? More people would enter contest this way? And I also agree it should take place as agreed (no use in February!) just saying whatever you win may be short lived if map restet is agreed?

If say rumored reset happens maybe the prize could be something on that map? Your idea is a good one but within reason? for example a pick with fortune 200 would not be within reason but maybe an unbreakable pick with fortune 3 could be with in reason. Ima update the post with new rewards to see what you think.

Sounds like a fun thing to particapate in, the creative juices are flowing now. I have one question though, are you also allowed to team up with someone if you both have ideas and both can build ?

I basically used similar format as the halloween contest post.

I want to say in here the people I've chosen to judge with me. Gem, her opinion usually differs from mine Digging, I know you're wanting to take part in this and you've been a realmer for a long time now Ard, he's got a different view on things I'm wanting a wide range of opinions and thoughts on builds. Happy building and Merry christmas!

I might do one more because at the moment votes could be split evenly 2/2 so if we have a prime number like 5, there's no tie-ing

I might do one more because at the moment votes could be split evenly 2/2 so if we have a prime number like 5, there's no tie-ing Are we not using a points system like halloween? I.e style out of ten,effect out of ten, effort out of ten for example or are we using a I like this one it gets my vote approach? if it is a tie then whoever you have choosen is the winner as you are the Head judge and have the casting vote? More judges could still all like a different entry and it still could be a tie? I.e 2/2/1 or 1/1/1/1/1 p.s I'm happy to be a judge see you in January

I'd like to volunteer as a judge as I have very little interest and skill in attempting a build
