LuxorV Posted July 5, 2009 Welcome to the Minifig Customization Workshop Contest BrickForge & Staff category The purpose of this contest is the following: Create a Minifigure for a New Theme The dream of a lifetime coming true! You have just been hired by TLG to work on a special project. You are now part of the ‘New Themes Development’ Division. Your task is that of creating a new minifigure that represents the new theme you would like TLG to introduce on the market. The theme can be anything but a License product (Movies, Videogames, TV-series and so on): TLG already has enough License contracts going on, and they don’t feel like opening a new one right now. The Rules Same general rules as for the members category, plus: • Entries must have a background story, the crazier, the better. • Contestants must submit the highest number of pictures of their entry. The base of 3 pictures (front, side and back) won’t be enough to qualify for this contest. • Entries can have a link to picture folder (non-resized pics, close-ups and stuff like that for the rest of us to enjoy), in case you forgot put some your pics in the entry thread. • All entries not living up to the rules on the end date will imply demoting from the Staff (at least for the EB one; we’ll see what to do to the BF people later…). • Entries must be something the whole AFOLs’ community can enjoy. Please, avoid nudity, excessive gore, or other offensive content; or at least limit it, if you can’t avoid it. • All entries will be commented 1 week before the end date by me, giving dreadful mocks about your customization ability. Entries are to be posted within the Minifig Customization Workshop and type "MCW Contest BF & Staff Entry" in the ’title description’ of the topic. PRIZES Fame and glory; what more could you possibly ever ask for? There will be only one category of voting: the best overall entry wins. Simple, isn’t it? The Contest will run from today (5th July 2009) to 20th July (12 GMT) On a side note, while a list of the EB Staff would be quite useless (check here to have one), it may be useful to indicate (based on some sneaky information capture done by our secret services lately) who are those who fall in the BF people group: Armothe, Redbean, Hound Knight, PrincessAriana, Sir Gecko, Quickblade, Shadow Viking and Dylan. Some of these people don’t seem to have an account here, or have one under another name; in any case, if you want to join the contest, please PM me before posting your entries, and I’ll up-date this list with your actual name. This will make things easier for the voting part, too. Thanks Now stop whinge about this post and start your customizing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hound Knight Posted July 6, 2009 I've got one question, I assume that a Horatio Hornblower theme entry is acceptable, seeing that there isn't other merchandise from it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted July 6, 2009 I've got one question, I assume that a Horatio Hornblower theme entry is acceptable, seeing that there isn't other merchandise from it? As long as the MF you use as entry is not the one you already posted here some time ago, but another character in the theme: Btw, all BF & Staff category related questions belong to this thread LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hound Knight Posted July 6, 2009 As long as the MF you use as entry is not the one you already posted here some time ago, but another character in the theme: Btw, all BF & Staff category related questions belong to this thread LuxorV Well, what if I do another completely different Hornblower figure?

LuxorV Posted July 6, 2009 Well, what if I do another completely different Hornblower figure? Yes, I think that would be good. I mean, I can't ask somebody not to follow their favourite theme, just to present something new for this contest. LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuxorV Posted July 24, 2009 Does this mean I get on of those cool sig banners that Hound Knight makes? Well, I think you could auto-add a shining trophy to your avatar for say one month. Maybe with the caption 'MCW BF & Staff Winner' on it I'd really like to see a MF holding a trophy made in your style LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
