[Event] Art Slam 2022

Post by saemai »

‎ ‎ ‎
Cubeville Art Slam

The Cubeville Art Slam is back! This event is a series of competitions across different artistic mediums. You may participate in however many of the contests you would like, be it just one, two, or every last one. We have players with many different talents here, and it was so cool to see those skills showcased in our last Art Slam. We are pleased to bring this event back and see what you have in store for us this year! The theme this time around is 'Summer', so expect all the contest prompts to tie in to that in some way.

In addition, this year the Art Slam build battles will include the opportunity to be invited to the rank of Server Builder on Cubeville. In the past, we held a build battle to help us find players who were willing to help with building for quests. They accomplished a lot while the group was active, and it was both incredibly helpful and fun for staff to work alongside citizens on projects. We felt so positively about the experience that we'd really like to invite another group of citizens to join our build team, and not just for quests - on build projects for all kinds of different server needs. There's a lot to do around here, and we're really looking forward to working with some of you folks!

The Competitions

The Cubeville Art Slam will run from Monday, 25th July 2022 through 11:59pm EDT Sunday, 28th August 2022. Each competition will have a different prompt, so make sure to wait for the opening announcement before you begin your entry.

Build Battle 1 - Monday, 25th July through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 7th August
Writing Competition - Monday, 25th July through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 31st July
Drawing Competition - Monday, 1st August through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 7th August
Build Battle 2 - Monday, 8th August through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 21st August
Video Competition - Monday, 8th August through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 21st August
Screenshot Competition - Monday, 22nd August through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 28th August
Skinmaking Competition - Monday, 22nd August through Sunday, 11:59pm EDT 28th August

Participation

Each competition will be announced along with its prompt on its listed opening day. The separate competition posts will explain how they may be entered, the rules for each contest, and the prizes at stake! Every competition will be judged separately via an open vote for all players to pick their top three entries. Voting will be open for one week following the closure of each event. Server Builders will be chosen by a panel of experienced staff builders.

Prizes

The prizes span from things like cubes and practical implements to particle toys, decorative items, and snacks with a kick. Not every competition has all the same prizes available - check out the prize list in each competition post to see what the potential rewards are for that contest.

Rules

The rules vary between contests depending on the particular competition, but overall the entries you make should be completely your own, original work. Participants are allowed one entry per competition. Your entry must be in the theme of the competition prompt, which will be provided for each contest. Other details many vary per contest.

Good Luck!

We hope you have fun and we can't wait to see your entries.

Hey everyone, unfortunately due to unforeseen but unavoidable events impacting members of the staff team, part of Art Slam was delayed. We are now getting back on track and voting for the Skinmaking and Screenshot competitions is now live, with the Build Battle 2 vote to follow shortly. The Art Slam Store will be opening this Sunday at spawn for you to spend any Creator Credits you've earned over the competitions.

Thank you for your patience as we get things wrapped up :)

The Art Slam 2022 Store is now open! Head toward the Event Valley at /spawn and you should run into this giant box of crayons. Speak to Stephen inside and he can tell you how many points you have, and open the store for you to spend them.

All Creator Credits which have been earned so far should now be added to your account - if you think you have less points than you should please message me and I will double check. Note that there are further points to come once the voting for the Skinmaking / Screenshot / Build Battle 2 votes conclude.

The point allocation is as follows: 1st Place - 16 credits / 2nd place - 12 credits / 3rd place - 8 credits / Runner Up - 4 credits / Participant - 2 credits. Everyone who participated in at least one competition also received 5 bonus credits.

Enjoy!

With the final votes now closed, and all prizes and creator credits awarded, the Art Slam 2022 is now concluded. Thank you to all who participated, some amazing entries across the board, and I know personally it was often very hard to choose just my top 3 in any category.

The Art Slam 2022 Store will remain open for another few weeks, so if you have any Creator Credits still to spend, make sure you go and use those soon! If you aren't sure if you have any, just speak to the NPC in the store and they'll be able to tell you. And remember, even if you didn't win, anyone who entered a competition got at least a few credits for entering, so you might find you have points to spend that you didn't expect.

Again, thank you all for entering, we hope you enjoyed :)
