Dear TTV,
I have uploaded my Helryx entry in a separate topic that I have linked to the Helryx contest page and to the Helryx entry list, but one of the pictures I uploaded is not working and my entry is not on the official list of Helryx entries. Furthermore, could you please confirm how long it takes before my entry appears on the entry list?
Thank you in anticipation 
I have asked this a couple places so please forgive me if I got an answer that I didnāt see but I was wondering what defines a toa hagah shield?
Meso and I may discuss this further, however this is a Hagah Shield. That being said, I believe weāve already said that so long as the MOC has a shield of any kind, and the final artwork uses the specific Hagah Shield piece, itās all good for entry.
We are able to contact him via email, which is where we will send the winning entry.
Itās up there. No time frame for when they get added to the list, itās whenever I am able. Best of luck!
You arenāt, however you are the only one to offer something substantive that we can mull over.
Weāve held off on talking about voting since a lot of it hinges on how many entries we get. I can confirm a couple of things, however:
- There will be brackets, so several polls containing several entries that eventually whittle down to one.
- You will be able to vote for multiple entries at once. The system can not recognize preference, so this is the best we can do.
I hope that helps ease some concerns.

So for the second part of the applicable contests where the mask is chosen, how do you feel about masks built from LEGO pieces? Personally I believe it should be an acceptable art form.

That would be fine, except that mask submissions will need to be submitted alongside artwork of the character wearing it. So unless the MOCist is willing to submit artwork of the winning MOC wearing their design, then it wouldnāt be viable for entry.

If thereās gonna be a second list, I cross my fingers that Turaga Jovan is considered I always wondered what a Turaga living in the harsh surroundings of Voya Nui would look like, and maybe it would be fun to have a building contest for a smaller character (for the first time, to my knowledge 
)

There will certainly be a second list, however we are not considering Turaga Jovan.
Also, as a reminder to everyone: If you are entering the Toa Helryx contest, you must post a link to your topic right here. If you donāt, we will not be counting your entry and it will not appear in the polls.
Quick question: is it ok to post our contest entries to our personal blogs/galleries while the contest is still ongoing?
Absolutely.
I donāt think Iāve seen this asked: is Toa Dume up for consideration? If nothing else, Iām sure there are some encyclopedists who want it established what a Great Kiril looks like.
Pursuant to that, is it out of the realm of possibility to hold a depiction contest for the actual shape of the Great (and maybe Noble, but I doubt folk care about that as much) Pehkui?

Hello, um, I was looking at the pictures I uploaded about a week ago, and they are a bit obscure, is it ok if I add some more with more light in my topic?
Regarding wear & tear:
I have chrome elements that, through regular use, have lost the metallic coating and become nigh-transparent. Would it e against the spirit of the contest rules to use these elements primarily because of their transparent color?
Any photos you wanted to enter should have been entered when you made the topic.
I would advise against using those if possible.

If a second list is in the cards, any chance Toa Dume will make it?

I believe we considered him at one point, however I donāt believe he is in consideration now. We havenāt talked about it in a while.

Question, I know itās probably too late but if someone says I can use their 3D printed parts for my MOCs for the contest but theyāre not one of the listed 3D modelers in the rules, would I not be able to use them? (I just noticed the June 1st update) (also this is for the Hagah not Helryx)
I know this really lame but I caught a stomach virus over the weekend and I every technical difficulty today, and was wondering if I could upload my Helryx images, I had clicked reply right when the topic closed.
