Christmas-Themed Skin Competition 2016



Dear players,

It's that time of the year again when everything starts to become magical and we are getting ready for Christmas! A little bit early for this right? Oh well! Your friendly judging team from The Halloween Big Build Contest is organising a skin competition for you this time with the theme being Christmas! :D

We have another 2 judges with us this time though! The competition was organised by Prof_Thanos and Jinxie whereas the the judging team of the contest consists of the organisers, misspiggy95, TheStarNomad, tree43 and Mrs_Ender88!

So this time our theme is Christmas! This contest is all about designing a Christmas themed skin! Your skin should be detailed, original and have a background story about it if you want to get a good rating! Each judge can give you up to 100 points, so the score is counted with 600 points being maximum! Comments will be given anonymously and they will be explaining the score you got from the judge.

You can use http://www.minecraftskins.com/ or http://www.needcoolshoes.com/ to make your skin! You can either wear it and get screenshots (with F2) and upload them with http://imgur.com/ or get a screenshot of it when it's done from the site you made it. You can use https://gyazo.com/search for that! Another thing you could do is wear the skin while the judging is being done and we do the judging with a skin viewer! It's your choice! :)

You may donate the the prize by sending your donation in game to either Prof_Thanos (for Survival) or TheStarNomad (for B-Team)! Please provide a screenshot of it if we're not online and you let us know about it in a PM! :)

We were very generous with the prizes (@SANTA) so here is what we have for you! :D
First Place: 1,500,000.00 EmpBucks
Second Place: 1,000,000.00 EmpBucks
Third Place: 500,000.00 EmpBucks

Just a heads up on ORIGINALITY. I will be looking out for skins in case you copy. Originality is key, however, taking inspiration is fine. Copying will not get you any marks.

@Djharper ill get my builder to make an arena to do this on bteam
Oh yes Give the serial killer enthusiast a mod to make monsters, what could possibly go wrong?

Heres the skin itself and the image in MNCS to prove I made it. First time I've used in in around four years so I'm a bit rusty with the new system :D. Anyway I hope you enjoy the next segment and I may or may not make one for truewolfmaster that looks very similar.

Story behind the Skin:
Real: I needed a skin for our Christmas event
Story: Once a young elf by the name "Dj" had one passion- To work with Santa himself. He adored Christmas and decided to master any skill needed to join the jolly man! And so he began in typical montage state, he used his artistic prowess to fashion himself some garments which made him appear as if he should have an annoying fairy and a creepy old man give him a sword. Then came the challenge of decorating a tree, he stuck baubles and amazing trinkets like polar bears, hearts and assorted items until making the beautiful peak shine with the best star. Then he came into his next test, present making. For this he prepared a beautiful block of the most elegant diamonds into the shape of a creeper plush toy. Finally he underwent vigorous training until finally meeting the man in red. He was overjoyed and he was set to join a team of other elves... Santa was simply being kind as he joined the elf "True Wolf" who was similarly passionate. They delivered objects for toy making and helped out wherever possible... Recently though a danger has sprung up and they need the help of hero's! So, join Dj and True and help them make Christmas great! (#FreeAdvertismentPays)

Screenshots: I put them in attatchments but if they don't show I'll add an imuger link <3

We start it now so that we give you enough time to make your skins as we won't judge on Christmas day but the 18th of December. You may make your skin in December if you'd like. :)
