About BrickArsenal Gladiator Contest

WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE SALUTE YOU!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen....lend me your Legos!

Or at least show them to me - all set up for a beautiful display of the theme: GLADIATOR!

DEFINITION - you may use any interpretation of the theme "Gladiator" for your build:
1: a person engaged in a fight to the death as public entertainment for ancient Romans
2: a person engaging in a public fight or controversy
3: a trained fighter

SIZE: The project may be of any size or scale. A well-done vignette can be as effective (or even more so) than a large-scale build. Shoot for quality!

* The contest will run from November 9, 2011 until November 30, 2011 at 11:59PM EST. No entries will be accepted after that time.
* All entries must be new creations that haven't been posted prior to the contest.
* You may use non-Lego parts including accessories from BrickArms and other vendors. You may also incorporate Mega Bloks or other compatible brands if you so choose.
* Digital editing or post-processing are permitted, but should not be done to excess. This is a building contest, not a Photoshop contest!
* Please submit a complete build, not just a single minifigure - your figure may be central to your project, but it must have a scene as well
* Only one photo is required, but you may submit no more than 5 photos showing different aspects of the build

Judging Criteria for top 3 prizes:

10 points: Originality, cleverness and creativity - within the theme, is it unique, funny or different? Are any elements used in unusual ways?
10 points: Quality and skill of the build
5 points: Interpretation of the theme - is it gladiatorial?
5 points: Photography - did we get a good look at the build?

2 additional prizes will be awarded based solely on the subjective judgment ToyWiz crew. Essentially, 2 prizes go to builds we just happen to like regardless of scoring criteria. These will be chosen by a vote of the ToyWiz crew.

So that's it! Show us your builds!

Contest is void where prohibited. Must be 18 or older OR have parental permission to enter.
