How about this people?

Regular Categories --
1. Commuter vehicles ala Meteor Monitor: limit of 50 elements
2. Small Ground Vehicles ala Alienator: limit of 100 elements
3. Small Ships ala Invader: limit of 200 elements
4. Bigger Ground Vehicles ala Battrax: limit of 300 elements
5. Bigger Ships ala Renegade: limit of 400 elements
6. Bases ala Message Intercept Base: limit of 600 elements

Style Categories --
7. Unspecified category: no limits except that it must be a "serious" MOC.
8. Ugliest, Wackiest Thing In Space: no limits, weighted towards the humorous.

Any MOC may be entered as long as it was not entered in ANY previous contest.

This will help give us several entries right away.

CAD MOCs are allowed but cannot include element configurations, or element
colors, impossible to achieve with real world bricks -- bricks need not
necessarily "clutch" each other, but the physical laws of the real world
still apply otherwise. Customization of elements is allowed for the purpose
of including the BT1 logo only -- no other exceptions are made. Fantasy
backgrounds, lens-flare, and similar effects are allowed as long as they do
not alter the MOC's configuration. Any DAT file created during the contest
to satisfy the needs of any single entry must also be made available for the
use of others in a timely fashion (at least two weeks before the end of the
contest) even if the element remains unofficial.

Voting is limited to those who enter the contest.  Everyone votes once for
each category and cannot vote for him/herself. Failure to vote disqualifies
a participant's entry.

People should also vote for an entry not in their catagory and not one of
his/her entries. Also all votes for a disqualified entry will not be able to
be reused (we only have one round of voting).

Do we want one vote per entry or one vote per competitor?

Tom asks:
...Does that wedge piece with the BT logo (ie, the nose of Invader) exist in >ldraw?

Yes.

Good, then there is no reason not to allow CAD entries. Although they should
send a copy of the DAT file to our "committee" so I can get new building
ideas. ;-D

My question is whether we shall allow clone elements or not.  They are
available in both the real world and in DAT form.

No, it goes against the spirit of a *LEGO* building contest.

(...) I should think we would want "one vote per category from each competitor" disallowing votes for one's own entries. That is to say, multiple votes from each competitor. Make at least one entry and you are *in* the voting circle. Maybe we should (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
