[Contest] Summer Faction Festival

[Bob De Quatre]

 

Summer Faction Festival

---

It's summer, it's hot outside, it's the perfect time to design your own sci-fi faction and build rovers, spaceships, moon base or anything you want, as long as it matches a set of colors that you'll have to choose. (This still applies even if it's winter in your area!)

What defines best a faction than its colors?! So choose yours, wisely, and start building!
The different colors you have to decide on are:

• One or two primary colors: must be the most dominant(s) color(s) of your builds
• Two to three secondary colors: used as accents or details, but not as much as the primary colors
• One transparent color: should be used for the canopies,  windows and such

You can of course use more colors if needed for smaller elements. And be creative, try to not use existing Lego colorscheme!

 

Categories

---

A: The small band - Design and build anything that fits inside a 32 studs and respects the colorscheme of your faction!

B: The large band - Design and build anything that doesn't fit the size restriction of category A while still matching your faction's colorscheme.

C: The crew - Design and build a group of six (6) sci-fi themed minifigs that represent members of your faction.

D: The faction - Present your faction with a description, your choice of colors, and as much pictures as you want (including your entries for other categories)

(Prizes infos will be added later)

 

Rules

---

• First rule: have fun!
• For every entry, please write at least a short description of your faction including the faction's colors.
• For category C, brickbuilds robots or characters are allowed, just don't oversize them. Be sure to include a picture with all six of your crew.
• For category A, the largest dimension of your build must not be over 32 studs.
• The contest will run from July 10th to August 31st 2025. As long as it's still August 31st somewhere in the world, you can still enter.
• Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified.
• This contest is open to all EB members, even if they joined EB after the contest has begun, with the exception of the Sci-Fi staff, who are not eligible to win prizes.
• You can enter any of the categories with any numbers of entries, but you'll be eligible to receive only one prize.
• All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to being entered in the contest. You may be asked by a staff member to change your entry if it is too similar to an earlier creation.
• All entries must be built from real LEGO. No clone brands, no third-party custom parts, no digital entries.
• Custom sails and rigging are allowed.
• Non-Lego light sources are allowed as long as you mention it in your entry description.
• You can use official stickers or custom stickers.
• All entries must be posted as a new topic in the Sci-Fi forum, the title prefixed by, "[SFF] Cat X - ". (For example, "[SFF] Cat C - LArge mining ship".)
• You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited.
• All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC.

Due to ties in category C, and obviously The UFO Collective by @alex_lyman getting first place in all categories, and taking into account the rules of this contest, and taking into account the results of all categories, I had to make decisions on which participant would get the prize in each category  (yes there will be prizes!).
So for category A, prize will go to 2nd place @danth, for category B prize go to 2nd place @kritch, for category C prize go to 1st place @Ross Fisher and for category D the prize go to @alex_lyman 

 

Thanks to everyone who took the time to participate.

Congrats to the winners! I hope you enjoy… whatever it is you won (still waiting for the prize info to be added). Lots of great entries that would make fine factions if LEGO ever decides to bring back Space.  And thanks to Bob for organizing this fun contest!

Thanks Oky. There were some problems with the prizes, and I ended not giving you any information... To makes thing simple there is a 80€ prize for each category winner (limited to one prize per participant).

Congrats to all. It was nice to see the variety of factions and their associated vehicles and bases.

[danth]

Wow, congrats to @alex_lyman for running away with all the votes! And to everyone who entered and voted, and to @Bob De Quatre for organizing!

It was fun to participate and even more fun to see everyone else's contributions!

Congratulations to all the winners!

[KotZ]

Congrats to the winners and also great builds from everyone who participated! There were lots of cool factions created for this one!

[alex_lyman]

Thanks everyone and congrats to all the other participants! I had a great time participating, and definitely wouldn't have come up with any of these builds without the contest.

I loved seeing the creativity from everyone else!
