Second Annual Digital Blasphemy Minecraft Challenge

Rules/Entry Instructions/Prizes

Last year's Minecraft contest was (IMO) a huge success. So much so that I thought I should make it a yearly event.

The first contest was held on Facebook primarily, but I would rather hold this contest on DB. Anyone can submit an entry using this form

The Challenge is pretty simple...

  • Browse through my gallery and pick an image to recreate in your copy of Minecraft.

  • Use all the Minecraft skills at your disposal (mods/texture packs welcome) to recreate my scene as accurately as possible.

  • When you are happy with your creation (try to match the time of day, lighting, and "camera angle"), take a screenshot at the highest resolution possible. Be sure to hide the interface (F1 key)!

  • Create a 300px wide "thumbnail" of your screenshot.

  • I won't be hosting the graphics on my server, so you will have to give me the urls (thumbnail and fullsize) which I will then link from my site. Do not send me links to HTML pages.

  • Send me links to the graphic files themselves (example: send http://www.yourserver.com/graphics/yourfile.jpg not http://www.yourserver.com/gallery/yourfile.html). I recommend a host such as Imgur, TinyPic or Picture Hoster. Facebook will work too if you submit the image URL.

  • You can enter as many times as you like but all submissions are final. You cannot submit an "improved" version later so make sure you are happy with your project before you submit it.

    The preliminary deadline for entries is midnight July 11, 2014. I may move this back if people seem to need more time... One last stipulation...

  • Scenes which were adapted last year and won prizes (the yellow and blue entries here) are off-limits this year!

Prizes!

One Grand Prize Winner will have their scene rendered by me using my own 3D software and the render will be posted in my gallery. You will need to send me your Save File in a ZIP for this to happen. I will be in touch!

The Grand Prize winner will be chosen by the Grand Jury consisting of me and my two sons, Ian and Jason. We will choose from the top 5 rated images.

The Grand Prize winner will also recieve a Lifetime Membership Gift Certificate AND a Zazzle print of the resulting render. 2nd and 3rd place will receive Lifetime Memberships thanks to a generous donation from Laurie Neville!

The next 4 entries, determined by ratings, will receive 1 year Membership gift certificates.

1 Honorable Mention will receive a 1 month Membership gift certificate

I am providing these prizes but folks are free to donate more (simply address a gift certificate to rbliss@digitalblasphemy.com and include Minecraft Contest in the comments).
