Update!
Hello, everyone! Just a little update for the contest! First up, I apologize for the delay of closing the building phase and having judging start later than normal. I'm barely home during the week because of college and my days off it's hard to think about this because I try to squeeze as much fun as I can into my free time. BUT! I'm changing up how each of the three phases work in my contest starting after October's theme, though October will also be getting an extension on the building phase as well. Here is how the phases will work from now on:
Phase 1: During the month that the current contestants are building, I will be accepting contestants for the theme of next month! That means you will have an ENTIRE month to sign up for the following month's theme!
Phase 2: The building phase instead of being two weeks will be the entire month! Hopefully this should be plenty of time for contestants to pump out their ideas for the theme and build amazing things!
Phase 3: During the month that the current contestants are building, judges will be judging the previous month's theme. Although it shouldn't take the entire month to judge the entries, it does give judges more time to get around to judging.
So in a nutshell, nothing has really changed other than extensions on all of the phases. There will still be a theme every month, so there is absolutely nothing to worry about! The changes are to make things much more flexible for everyone's schedule to give a better chance for participating. I have also edited the
information part of the thread with this updated information. I will not be revealing November's theme until it is time to begin building for October's theme. And with that... I will now say...
Accepting Contestants for October!
I am now accepting contestants for the month of October! Please post now if you would like to be a contestant! Also remember to read the theme carefully before accepting. Entries close at Midnight on October 9th!
