C3 Contest - Design a Vehicle
Minimates Central has got together with those great peeps at stuckakid to present a very special contest... Read on to see your chance to win some great Minimates items!
Since C3 debuted last year, it has rekindled my interest in block construction. I have found the C3 sets interact with Minimates extremely well and add a lot of play value. The great part about C3 is the compatibility with other leading block construction systems, I recently made a Riddler Battle Wagon from the Riddler Mini Flyer and a Built To Rule "Rock Crusher" set... the Batcycle literally doesn't know what hit it!
Now, I know the colours clash horribly, and the Riddler Flyer wings looks a bit strange (hey, blame the Flyer, not me!) but I was pleased with it. And then I thought - I bet you guys out there could really come up with some fantastic vehicle designs... And thus the "Design a Vehicle" contest was born!
Ooh, a Contest - What Do I Have To Do?
Anyway, the contest is very simple. Using C3 and any other building block sets, you must create a vehicle for any Minimate, doesn't matter if it's Marvel, DC or independent, however due to scale it would be best if it was a 2" Minimate. Think Punisher needs a van? You build it! Want to see a Bat-Submarine? You build one! I want to see creative and ingenious vehicles that add to the playability of the Minimates themselves.
The vehicle you create can be as small or large as you want, but should be able to fit at least one Minimate in/on it. Once it's built, take a couple of good pics of your creation that really show it off, and send them to competition@minimatescentral.com.
What Can I Win?
The first prize is all 6 Mini Flyer sets! That's right, Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, the Riddler, plus the harder to get hold of Flash and Alternate Superman Flyers.
The second prize is an Exclusive Wizard World LA 2005 Green Minimates Promo
third place gets an Exclusive Free Comic Book Day White Minimates Promo.
These great prizes are kindly supplied by stuckakid, thanks guys!
What Are The Rules?
The pictures will go into a photo gallery on Minimates Central.
The competition is open to the world.
One entry per person, please. If you have more than one design, pick your best!
Entries will be judged by a 3-man panel, who will be looking for fun, creative and innovative designs. If you are replicating a cartoon or comic design, that's great, but you really are not limited to canon.
Pictures should be around 1024 x 768 in size - doesn't need to be any bigger than that as all pics will be cropped and resized anyway, and in JPG format. That's important because if you use a file type that I can't view, then it can't be judged.
The deadline for entries has now been extended, to allow you to get your designs in in good time. The deadline for submissions is now MONDAY 15th August!
Good luck to all that enter.
