Greetings!

DemonEye Designs, a new company in SL is getting ready to hold it's first annual 'Speed Building' contest!

The contest will take place on Saturday, November 3rd, 2007, times will be announced at a later date.

Here's the deal::

Contest Overview:
Each contestant will be given a 30x30 platform over one of two parcels in the Sliderule mainland sim. (If anyone would like to offer a different venue, please PM me here on the forums.)
On this platform, and on ONLY this platform, they will be given one hour to complete a house for a basic 512m plot. House specifications are below. The trick is, the house must be fully furnished, with everything inside made during the contest as well!
---------------------------------------
House Specifications:
Must fit within a regular (Rectangular) 512m Plot, a maximum of 20m x 25m (500 sq. meters) and use no more than 117 prims, for the building itself as well as for the furnishings.

Absolutely no megaprims allowed.

Must include the following rooms (Does not need to be seperated by a wall)
-Kitchen
-Bedroom
-Living Room

Must make use of all of the 3 textures we will provide, though not limited to these textures.

----------------------------------------
Time Limit:

All contestants will be given 1 hour (60 minutes) to complete the build, with 4 contestants per round (# of rounds dependant on # of contestants). Anything made or placed after the 60 minutes is up will be removed completely from the build (Movement of full build to better place on platform is allowable)

---------------------------------------

Scoring::

All builds will be scored on the following criteria:
-Completion - 100 points (Is it done? All rooms in, and look finished?)
-Neatness - 75 Points (Are the walls aligned? Any unintentional gaps?)
-Originality - 50 Points (Is it a remake of another prefab? Can I find something very similar
for sale anywhere?)
-Extras - 15 Points each, maximum 45 Points (Another room, a garden, etc.)

Total:: Maximum of 270 Points


All scoring will be done by 4 judges, myself and three others to be announced at a later time. (If you would like to be a judge, please PM me here on the forums).

Each contestant will be watched over by a judge during the building process to ensure the following of rules, then all four will collaborate on the judging of each build.

Points will be docked from a contestants total for the following:
-Lack of our 3 textures- Each missing will be 10 points docked
-Unoriginal Furnishings (Not made during the contest) - 20 points each
-Time - If any building is done after the time is up, the item will be removed as well as 50 points being docked.
