I have one question: will larger vignettes (say 12 x 12 studs) be judged negatively? I know 8 x 8 studs is standard.
Posted 18 months ago.

I intentionally worded it to try and avoid those problems (i.e. didn't call the category "vignette"). I have no qualms with any size build - it will just be judged against the others in the applicable category.

Glad to see we got something started. I might have a MOC that could work for this. DOes it have to be a vig or diorama?
PS I'll be removing this from the Contest Ideas thread.

By no means does it have to be a vig or dio, but be sure it still fits the theme, i.e. entries should depict your survivors actively building/creating something important to their continued survival. Of course, the 16x16 small/large criteria still applies.
Also, just a couple of thoughts, some of which Justin has already expressed and none of which are you obligated to follow. ;-)
Take your time - Sometimes it’s a pain, but those extra hours or days you spend tweaking and refining your build can mean the difference between a memorable contest winner and just another neat MOC.
Take quality pictures - It doesn’t matter how great the build is if all anyone can look at is the Hannah Montana poster hanging on your bedroom wall in the background. Clear focus, decent lighting, clean background…that kind of thing. I think all the major Lego forums have a thread on photography techniques. The Classic Space one is here
Think outside the box – The “picking up the pieces” theme has the potential for some awesomely original builds as well as some fairly similar ones. That’s not to say that a commonly used theme can’t be a winner if it’s a high quality effort, but originality and vision can go a long way…
I'm looking forward to seeing what people come up with over the next two months...happy building!

To reiterate what Brian said, some significant part of your entry needs to be under construction. Post-apoc is full of crumbling buildings, but rarely new construction. Your survivors need to create and invent to survive. Show us part of that process. That's not to say crumbling buildings are disallowed - your clan might be living in a bombed out church while they construct a makeshift tank. (So yes, vehicles are certainly welcome.)
Also, I know everyone likes action. Just because your survivors are building doesn't mean there's no action to be had. After all, zombies don't wait for you to finish your fortress.
Remember that, in the end, a significant part of the judging is based on how well the entries fit the theme. Humans are creative creatures, especially when faced with extinction. Show us some of that ingenuity.
Finally, since we're already getting a number of submissions, it's clear that this thread is going to get long quick. From here out, let's reserve it for actual submissions and questions.

The multi color walls don't look professional, but i think that makes it look more post apocalyptic.
Enjoy!

Okay, based on what entries have come through so far, it appears that some people are still not clear on the first rule in the original announcement: Entries should depict your survivors actively building/creating something important to their continued survival. Note the "ing" (as in building rather than built). Whatever creation your survivors are working on should still be incomplete. That is the theme of the contest, so it should be the focus of the MOC.
This is not to deride those of you who have built, but most of the entries so far have little to do with building/creating. Several entries made a token effort at it, but the “creation” aspect should really be the central focus of the model.
Hate to be a rules nazi, folks, but the contest theme is, after all, there to challenge you. We're not trying to discourage anyone from building; we just don't want to have to disqualify a great MOC because it's missing the 'construction' aspect.
If anyone needs clarification, I just started a discussion/WIP thread. Feel free to discuss your in-progress builds, and post any questions you have there rather than here. That should leave this thread for only finished submissions.

I (amazingly) combine my love for hotrods with this topic
Backstory: After another Nuke War, this Police Garage was used to build these two vehicles running off of Ghetto Motors :P.
The owner of the Dragster wasn't in favor of crowding into a van and trying to drive with the others east to find civilization. He figures they're out west of what remains of the USA.

Here's my entry - Beyond the Sky
I took the contest theme to embody one survivor in his attempt to construct a machine which inadvertently led to a horrible discovery (the story). At the same time, this creation was a struggle for me to pick up the pieces (if you have noticed my premier hypocritical use of old gray with bley). This is because I do not have access to my building bricks over the summer and I'm stuck with my old collection of old colors back at home. The base was part of an existing MOC called Cyclopean Horror. So I recycled and saved the world.

Here is my entry for the Picking Up The Pieces Contest.
Oblivion has struck the world. Dr. Evil has destroyed the world and most important of all, Willy's precious post office. Willy is sick and tired of all the attacks, and decides to start an underground rebel group, known as the ApocaRebels. In this particular example, 2 of these brave men (and women) are building a giant laser cannon on the surface to destroy enemy air crafts.

Jimbo has a rough day:
When the one-eyed snaked attacked, the two friends forgot to check their footing. Jimbo lost an arm and a leg to a mine, and it looked like his buddy Frank was about to lose even more. One could argue that the odds where against them.
"Finally, some action!" Jimbo joyously exclaimed, trying to build a makeshift shelter using his own blown-off leg and hand as a crude tool. He had always been one tough son of a bitch.
