All hands on deck!!!! The flickr Space Pirate Building Competition Q&A Thread Prizes updated

Aaron (-_-) is a group administrator Aaron (-_-) says:

Announcing the first ever flickr Space Pirate building competition.

There are 2 categories.
The first one is Ships. I'm not putting any size constraints on this one so go big or go small just go crazy but remember that quality always trumps quantity. The requirements for entry are as follows.

All entries must have a crew of at least one.

Only 2 photos per entry.

A small writeup about the ship and crew is required to accompany the photos in the submission thread.

The prize for the winning entry is set#10192 Space Skulls.

There must be at least 10 entries for there to be a winner declared.

The second category is figs. Your mission is to make a custom space pirate minifig whether you do some cutting gluing and painting or just find the perfect combination of TLG elements creativity is the key. Only one entry per person in the Custom Minifig category. The prize for the winning entry will be a space troll minifig armed with trans green Brickarms Prototype Combat Knife, Bullet Clip and MG42.
EDIT: Ken at [http://www.customminifig.co.uk ] has generously offered to give a Brickarms Limited Edition Silver Weapons pack to the winner of the custom minifig category as well as Interviewing the top 3 Minifig customizers for his Blog.

Only members of the group may enter and all entries must be placed in the group photopool as well as the submission thread.

Any questions about the competition can be placed here. Now have fun and start building.

Yes you can enter both categories but you may only enter one in the Custom fig category. Build and submit as many ships as you like.

curtydc says:

Can an older MOC be submitted for this contest? I would state out in the open right now whether that is allowed or not. Personally I don't think anything previously posted should be allowed, that's usually how contests run. Otherwise you might see too many Older MOCs and not enough new stuff specifically for the contest.

I believe the time has come to dig out the good old X-Acto saw and super glue. Well, I'm in need of some pirates sets then . . . Ah, a trans-yellow tricorne would be absolutely perfect right now.

YOu don't have to customize it, but it's not against the rules. If you make an ultra cool minifig out of stock parts, you can still enter it. :)

Whoa whoa whoa. I just found this group, and I made a pirate fighter just three days ago. I didn't purposely make it for the contest, but I was wondering if I could still enter it. Would that be alright?

Okay people. I think that this should be brought up. The ship building contest still has not reached the needed amount of contestants. Four more. That's it. Someone start building now!
