This is a MOC CONTEST, I repeat, CONTEST, not project, CONTEST.
This contest is system based. Yeah, bricks, plates, studs, whatever.
RULES
No minifig displays, or only character entries. These will not count. If you don’t have a lot of system your out of luck because these builds will require lots of pieces. When entering a MOC, please create a separate topic with a link in your “finished” post.
Please be constructive, not mean. Each kingdom/realm will only have multiple winners to its name so everyone will have a chance.
If you would like to include a system built creature that is fine. Just focus on the landscape.
All builds will be scored on: Appearance, Build, Functions, Followed Criteria for that certain element. The highest score you can get is 100, that is 25 for each section.

Yeah, hate to break it to you, but that’s a lot harder and more expensive than it sounds on paper.
Landscapes are difficult and parts-consuming as it is(particularly floating islands because you have to do their bottoms too), but landscapes+particular castles with specific themes, colors, etc? That’s going to be out of most people’s part/price range.
Don’t get me wrong; it’s a cool idea, and I’m sure the creations that could come out of it would be fantastic. It’s just, this is really the wrong community to do this. Perhaps big time AFOL moccers that have mountains of parts and tons of time to spend could pull it off, but primarily TFOLs with few parts(even fewer system parts) and plenty of school(and job) work on their plates probably won’t.
So uh, reel it in a bit if you want to get any traction.
