First of all, they're called Future Bikes, or Turbo Cycles. :P

Here's the rules I would propose...
* All images to be posted on brickshelf.com

If you are going to have this requirement then you might add that each entry
should have its own folder.  It's really difficult to try to choose a model
when 2 or more are in the same directory and aren't clearly labeled.

I don't see the need for this at all. Let em post it wherever they want.

* No CAD models
* Each entry earns you one vote

I don't see the need for this, either. If you entered the contest you'd get
one vote. That's fair.

* The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes will go to the models with the most
votes, except that no person can win more than one prize
* In the event of a tie, a run-off will be held
* All models must be created between XXX and YYY dates (to be determined)

Another thing I'd add:
Categories by size or piece count.  A small creation can be just as
technically interesting as a large one, though larger ones are usually more
impressive just because there are more places to put details.  I'd like to
see small elegant designs having a chance.

Two categories would probably be enough, though you could do more.  You
might ask the folks who have experience building these where the cutoff
point(s) should be.

All these bikes are fairly small anyways. Two of my bikes: the Interceptor
and Flash, being on complete opposite ends of the scales don't differ THAT
much in size. I think they have about the same piece count even (the
interceptor just uses larger pieces.)

But on that note, I like the idea of having a 'limited' catagory, where you
can only use, like say, 20 pieces total. :D

(...) I thought it was an odd requirement at first as well, but... in the contests I've judged and voted, there has always been at least one entry in which the host was down when I was trying to evaluate the models. How many people will jot down (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)
