Rules
1.  Time limit -  2 months    Jan 5th – march 5th
2.  Under 5 stories tall
3.  If your submission is a render, all parts must be available “in sets or on
bricklink” and it should be build able.
4.  a small group of buildings is ok by me as long as they’re related

suggestions ß not requirements
1.  The “suggested” scale is 1 stud per foot 1.2ft per brick/3plates
2.  Your model or models should use realistic colors. I.E. a blue building with
yellow trim is probably unrealistic.

Judging - Prizes

Judging will be based on:
   •How realistic is it?
   •Amount of detail
   •The complexity of the build
   •Use of texture
   •Is it modeled off of a real building?  <-Not a requirement but extra points
will be given


Judging will NOT be based on:
   •Size <- build in a size you can afford
   •Use of rare colors or parts
   •How it is presented.  Moc-pages is great but a brickshelf gallery will   work just as well.


If you wish to help me judge please consider donating a prize to the contest.
The size of your donation is up to you.

Winners will be announced around march 12th

(...) [...] (...) Ondrew, I am writing just to say that it is very cool that you have decided to do something like this.
