 |  Subject: Sand Castle Competition  Sat Mar 16, 2013 9:24 pm | |
| I am holding a Sand castle building contest! The contest will be held in the desert near to the village (X - 15320 Y - 63 Z - 11435), where I have marked out plots and built a basic example. To clam a plot, put your name on the sign. Contest will finish next Sunday 23rd March 2013. So you have a whole week to work on it. What ever timezone you are in, make sure you are done by next Sunday, as I will judge on Monday. Rules:  1. All Sand castles must be inside the 10 x 10 plots marked out. You can go as high or deep as you like, but must remain within the marked boarder of your plot. 2. Sand castles must be made out of at least 50% sand. Any other materials can be used, so long as the 50% sand rule is followed. Sandstone will not count towards the 50%, it must be Sand! 3. Have fun! Don't take it too seriously! Prizes to be decided, but if there is enough entrants, I'll do a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. On a side not, I will be judging on creativity and use of materials, while sticking to the sand castle theme. I want to be able to look at it and think, yeah, that's a sand castle!  |

| I also joined this contest. Unfortunately I didn't know it should be 50 % sand. I thought I should be 50 % sand or sandstone..
I have to change a few things I guess.. |

| Last day to enter or make any changes to your sand castles people!!
It's gonna be really hard to chose a winner as everyone has done so well. I won't be counting the blocks and doing the math to check if they are all 50% sand, or digging underneath to check it's all exactly inside the boarders.
I can see that everyone has tried their best to stick to the rules, and I hope everyone can enter into the spirit of the competition (fun!) and won't be unhappy if I don't disqualify anyone!
If you do have a problem with it though, let me know before tomorrow, as after I chose a winner, I won't change it!
Thanks for all your hard work! |

| Result time!
3rd place: Mr and Mrs Meowys! I loved the height and attention to detail! A lot of work went into it!
2nd place: Kitty! I'm all about the secret doors lately, and the hot tub was amazing!
1st place: Dion!! Very simple design, but so elegant! Really brought back memories of building sandcastles on the beach with a bucket! Love the fact that it is 99% sand.
Go check your castles for prizes, everyone has a small runner up prize as well! |
