    Hi! My name is 52Phenomenon and in partnership with TheEpicWotsit, I will be running a free island competition for all skyblock.net players! Read on to find out more and to enter!

    Why are we running this competition?
    We are running this competition so we can see some of skyblock's most amazing islands! We can't wait to take a look at some amazing skyblock.net islands!

    What can you win?
    If you win the island competition, you will win 64 grass blocks. 1 runner up will also win 5 banners of their choice from the banner shop at /visit 52Phenomenon. Do you think your island has what it takes?

    How can I enter?
    Entry is free and simple. You must reply on this thread using the following template, entries that do not use this template will not be counted.

    Your IGN:

    Where did the inspiration for your island come from:

    *Please note your island must be kept /unlocked in game, or your entry will not be counted.
    The closing date for all entries is Monday 10th April 2017 at 11am British Standard Time (BST). Entries made after this time will not be counted. File your entry using the template above now!

    Who will decide the winners and how?
    The two judges of the competition are:

    How the judging works:
    All islands entered will be /visited in game by both judges and looked at carefully. Then, all entries will be whittled down to 5 top islands. From there, our main winner will be chosen, and the runner up will be decided by a mod. (Please note the mod that pick our runner up has not been confirmed at time of writing. Any mods willing to take part, please /pm 52Phenomenon.)

    Good Luck to all entrants!

    What times are you normally online (including time zone):
    My online time varies depending on my work schedule.
    Usually from 4:30-8pm or so, but this past week being spring break, it's been all day.
    I am EST.


    Why should you win:

    I realize that my island isn't anything grandiose or extravagant, but I think that's where it's beauty lies. It is peaceful and simplistic, and I know many people appreciate those qualities.
    (*cough*plusimeanquartzishellaexpensive*cough*)

    ;)

    What would you do with the grass:
    Honestly, I'd put it straight into funding my shop.
    Getting better items to stock to help out the players that frequent my island.


    Who created your island, did anyone help:

    I built it myself.
    Elmo, John, Kora, and Nath (and sgt:heart:) have all contributed in some way to supplies/funding,
    but the actual "work" was done by me.


    Where did the inspiration for your island come from:

    I found a house like it online, and spun it a bit to make it my own.


    - Good Luck, Everyone! -

    What times are you normally online (including time zone): 9:00 AM-2:00 PM Pacific Time Zone

    Why should you win: My island is not the coolest but I think it would be cool to win. (And it's pretty much made out of grass)

    What would you do with the grass: I would donate it to TheEpicWotsit so we can build better islands!

    Who created your island, did anyone help: It was just me building. All alone.. No friends... Nobody cares.........

    Where did the inspiration for your island come from: My brain! ;)

    What times are you normally online (including time zone): bippity boop, idek how to tell you this, but you know I am usually on when you are.
    Why should you win: The prize lol.
    What would you do with the grass: Is this implying that I should win grass? ok. What would I do with the grass? I suppose I should be honest. I would save up and use it to purchase building materials to continue my Skyblock Business as seen in my signature and help others.
    Who created your island, did anyone help: his name is Stray_Gamer. All my work is original, no handicaps, no help, just me flirting with my materials.
    Where did the inspiration for your island come from:
    My inspiration came from my head. I guess I like building medieval style, I am a fan of the medieval ages and knights. But legit, my inspiration was like this: Hm, I think I would like to build, let's do this. And I did. boom.

    P.S: I would suggest having at least 3 judges, not 2. not to mention that the other judge you have is a friend of yours. When I did judging, I always tried to pick a random selection of 3-4 people.

    Thanks for this feedback. It's worth noting that to decide the runner up, I aim to get a mod to help me and TheEpicWotsit decide the 2cnd place. In future island competitions, I will be sure to take this point into consideration.

    What times are you normally online (including time zone): UTC +10 most of day time.
    Why should you win: I'd like to see how my builds go against other great builders
    What would you do with the grass:
    Give it away or use them :)
    Who created your island, did anyone help:
    I have 2 islands I want to enter, /visit altyminecraft (minimal help), and /visit BunningSnag (50% help from tilrwu)
    Where did the inspiration for your island come from:

    For altyminecraft, my inspiration came from my girlfriend, she wanted me to build something with the Harry Potter theme, so I built her a castle.
    For BunningSnag, I wanted the number 1 terraformed island :)
