   Oh no no! course not! what I was talking about is merely a contest that would allow teens to feel comfortable in displaying their MOCs, and not necessarily exclude others in the process. I only don’t want the builders with higher skill levels to discourage your average 13 yr old by making them think ‘I’m not good enough to compete with them’ (which seems to be a common mentality from what I understand was written earlier in the thread). Of course, I may be wrong here. The trouble is, age seems to be directly related to skill-level and part availability.

We want to dispel that notion that age and skill and parts are interrelated. I’d say it’s more the ability of the person and their character. I’m only 17, but I’ve got more bricks than some of the adults I know (85k to their 60k). He’s a better builder than I, too (regardless of age).

I think a vignette contest might be a dandy idea. Actually, what if it wasn’t so much a contest as a build project, like .space’s seed parts? That’d eliminate the seeing who’s best feeling and be more of a way to introduce more of us to the rest of the online community.
