Kibo Competition VI

Log into kibo.buildersrefuge.com (version 1.21.3) and type /warp kibo to teleport to the contest. Type /plot auto to claim a plot to begin building.

Plot submission through the website is mandatory. This can be done through the form at the bottom of this page. Both the build and form must be completed before the deadline of the competition to be eligible for scoring.

Contestants may use the command /timeleft in-game for an accurate display of the remaining time.

Kibo is an Organics community, and therefore organics will be a central theme to this contest; architecture may play a secondary role in your project. The greater portion (70%+) of your piece must be presented through organics. This must be clear in your contest plot and points will be deducted if the plot is overwhelmingly architecture based.

• 351x351 plot size (Contestants do not need to fill the whole plot completely, however it should be clear what space is used).

• Three (3) plots can be claimed. One for grading, the other two for asset creation. You may only submit one plot.

• Solo Building only.

• All judging to be done in vanilla textures. Players may set the time, biome, or any other vanilla preset.

• The judging phase will start directly after the contest, and end within 10 days. The results will be posted in the Results tab at the bottom.

• Schematica, importing, tracing or transferring of a pre-made build, block for block, is not allowed. All content submitted to the contest should be original, made only during the allotted build time using the tools provided on the Builders Refuge server.

• A list of all tools available for use on the server. No other tools will be allowed.

Sensation

Contestants this year are tasked with creating a build involving one (or more) of the five senses - Touch, Smell, Taste, Hearing, and Sight.

It must be clear through storytelling which sense (or senses) you are using as your main theme, which can be expressed through the build itself and through the supporting submission form down below.

Technique

How well was the piece executed through design, composition and technique? How consistent is the technique? Does the artist show control of the medium?

Creativity

Does the piece show imagination, individuality, originality? Has the artist shown innovation? How has the artist's creative interpretation affected their implementation of technique?

Clarity

Does your piece convey a message or portray the theme clearly? How were aesthetics and practicality balanced? Does the artist show understanding of the theme?

Each category is worth 10 points, a total of 30 points per judge. 210 possible points are awardable from all seven (7) judges.
