Announcing the second round of the 3 part contest I am holding.

For prizes and contest discussion check out the first thread located here.

http://reviewstash.com/viewtopic.php?id=2712&p=1

This contest cannot be entered by gotkaya or azyraphal (but can be by IntXparts) as they have been secured a place in the final for winning the dirt house build.

Contest will run from Now to the 29th.

So, here's what I want you to do in this round guys:

I want you to build the winners podium (as in where winners in races stand for example)
The podium can hold up to three winners in a 1st, 2nd, 3rd order but It doesn't have to.
It must have space for a chest where prizes will be placed.
You can use any material but keep in mind that you must make it look good.
Pistons and redstone ARE allowed but not necessary. Aslong as it has some kind of outstanding feature you should be fine.
There will again be 2 winners who will progress to the final.
It must be lit up in someway.
I will flip a coin between the two winning podiums and that is where the winner shall receive their prizes.
That's about it! Good luck.

If you have any questions ask below.
Please promote the contest ingame because the more contestants the better.

I just had a genius idea that will win this contest. I will made an iron dick ! The first place will be at the top and the other 2 will be at the balls . There will we a feature of the winner pressing the button and a fountain will come out with all the items the 1st place winner won . Lolz.  Trololo . Srry if you where offended by this but i didn't mean too and was just using humour.

Here, let me toss an impractical but awesome idea out there, because I am not too much into contests:
The three different stands are in the overworld, nether, and end.


Why is the winner decided by coinflip? How about community vote?

Translation: I agree that a community vote makes more sense for the final winner rather than a coin flip. It gets the community involved and interested in the contest, rather than making it based off of random numbers.

Well it might be a coin flip because everyone I've asked said they aren't gonna enter!

Suggestion: Contests are builds that help people out. For example, dirt house was a nice one, because it lets new players build a house, and more established players build a new base.
People don't have too much motivation to build a winner's podium that they probably will never use.

Not really sure. At first I thought something like wheat farm, except more established players have a major advantage there.

Ah, got an idea.
Build a village. Only use materials found in normal villages (Cobble, planks, stairs, gravel, logs, glass panes, fences, etc.) . Should somewhat feel like a normal village (Doesn't have to mimic.)

Build a Item of choice.
It has to be a item found in Minecraft!
And you have to recreate it
Or make whatever you like with it...
Like a for example!
Take the Cobble block, you could make a House in the form of it,
or make a cobble piece with a Pickaxe a side of it, whatever you desire!
Hope this idea helps smile

It's all too dull. Recreating a block is quite easy. And Building a village seems to uncreative,

Too*
We are just trying to be helpful. Obviously your current contest isn't appealing to people, so we are just tossing out other possibilities. If you don't like them, up to you to find your own.

It was like this at the start and I got quite a few. Atleast try to promote ingame. And yes, I do appreciate your help.
