## Digital Design and Rendering contest
A few years ago, I organised a digital design competition based on the Scooby Doo sets. The old timers from Mecabricks may remember it. This year Mecabricks became a Recognized LEGO Online Community (RLOC) which allows us to receive support from the LEGO Group for activities. To celebrate this achievement I have decided to organise a new contest.
## 1. Goal
Participants shall select ONE of the official Speed Champions cars, build a diorama made of LEGO elements and produce a rendered image of the scene. Only the final image will be judged.
## 2. Submitting your entry
Image shall be posted in the render section, of the official set the car belongs to. Copy the link and post your entry in the designated Entry topic along with the image.
## 3. Deadline
Entries shall be submitted by Sunday 20th May 2018 11:59pm UTC. Entries submitted after will not be considered.
## 4. Summary and Additional Rules
- Contest is open for all digital design tools and rendering software.

## 6. Judging
Three Mecabricks power users will rank the entries according to three criteria:
- Stas: Diorama Build
- Zanna: Image Composition
- Renderbricks: Rendering technic
The entry will be judged and given a score being the average of the three judges on a scale of 0 to 10.
@Scrubs just wanted to notify you the home page still has the big ENTER! button 😉
I will update the homepage asap.
Hey Scrubs, once the contest is over and prizes are sent and things, what will the new front picture on Mecabricks be? 😃 will it just be Gandalf's cart again, or something new?
Probably yes, until a good refresh of the homepage happens (but this is not priority).
@Scubs Maybe the first place winner could have their render on the homepage?
Yes, good idea.
@Scrubs No problem. 😉
It remains to be seen which it is... 😮 😉
@Samino and Scrubs something like this perhaps? (I'm not assuming mine will win, I just didn't want any issue useing another user's 😄
Nice way of testing my idea.
Results are available here www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/1036
HEY @Scrubs how do you save and share projects anyway Thumbs Up 😃 you must make a lot of money $_$ see ya
@Drago5632 in the workshop click -file- -save- (or Ctrl+S) then choose where you want to save it and click "save"
Then click the name in the workshop on the upper right that says Drago5632. This goes to your library. Double click on the project to edit its information. Check the box "make visible to public" and then hit save.
Hope that helped! 😃
P.S. He doesn't make a lot of money off the site, if that's what you meant 😉
@Drago5632 This thread is only related to the contest. Use other threads for non related questions. Regarding your other assumption, I can let you know that I spent way more for the site than what it brought back so far.
okay sorry, Scrubs
BTW they are awesome designs
Are this and the entry's thread always going to stay pinned?
Once again, is there a point to keeping these two threads pinned? Now that the contest is long over.
Wrong thread
Wrong site 😛 This is a spam post, it should be deleted.
Speed Champions 8-wide contest when? 😄
