    Converted Legacy Event

    This event was converted from our old contest and event system into our new jam format for historic preservation. Some details may be confusing in the new jam context.

    Contest Theme

    Pumpkin Carving SOLO Project Contest

    In preparation for Halloween, create and carve a giant pumpkin in Minecraft! Whether it's scary, funny, spooky, based on real world carvings or only possible in Minecraft, the size & carving is up to you. Feel free to give the pumpkin a spooky atmosphere but the star of your build, should be the Jack-o'-lantern!

    Contest theme voted by community poll!
    Banner & Write up - Cyprezz



    Rules of the Contest

    These rules may change between contests, so please be sure to read them carefully in case they are different from the previous ones! Failure to comply with these rules will result in the disqualification of your submission and/or being banned from the contest entirely.
      • Your build must be 100% original content that is not an old creation, whether of yours, your teams or someone else's.
      • You must build alone! You are not allowed help from other players on the build itself. Equally, alone means as a singular person and does not include single entities (build groups).
      • Post to own account. If you're a part of a team, that's fine but the team shouldn't post and credit you. It causes unnecessary confusion, casts doubt on the validity of the entry and credibility of the contest. Let's avoid the drama.
      • 50% or more of the images are unedited in-game screenshots.
        • This means NO mod aid. Including shaders and optifine.
        • This means NO image editing help such as photoshop.
        • A screenshot is only unedited if a moderator could download an official vanilla client and by using the same minecraft settings can replicate the screenshot.
        • This is to maintain a reference point and ability to compare renders & edited shots to what it actually looks like in-game.

      • You must use the default texture pack in the unedited images. This is a build contest, not a texturing contest. Judges will also be reviewing your builds in the default texture pack.
      • Presentation is very important! Add lots of screenshots, write something about your work, maybe give some description of your building process and in general take the time to present it to the community and judges to increase your chances of making it to the finalists.
      • You may not use any tools that produce an output for you. Building aides are allowed, but don't let a program do the main work for you (3D model converters, Pixel Art Generation, etc).
      • Must build in vanilla Minecraft 1.13 or below. No mods that add third party content! Judges will also be judging the submissions in vanilla Minecraft. Any foreign blocks will be discarded from the final judging.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Where's the starter map?
      There is no starter map. Just make sure the map you conceptualize fits the theme.

      Can I enter this pumpkin carving project into the Halloween Community Event too?
      Sorry, no. While the event is open to all types of Halloween themed entries, a post can only be entered into one or the other.

      Contest Process & Judging

      During the entry period, entries will be judged by a panel of your Planet Minecraft peers. We'll be assembling a team of individuals to judge; don't worry if there aren't any yet, they will be added soon!

      During the first phase, judges will be reviewing builds, disqualifying entries that break the rules and diamonding posts that they like. Remember that judge diamonds are worth a lot! The community is also viewing, diamonding, reporting and influencing which entries will make it into the finalists. Once the build period is up, the contest will enter phase two.

      The second phase consists of 5 days of review; the judges will go over the entries and find any missed rule breakers. Everyone will have this time to diamond and view more of the entrants before the site will calculate the finalists.

      The final phase involves the judges judging all of the finalists, which are calculated based on an aggregate score of activity and votes.

      You will be judged on the following aspects, on a 1-10 inclusive scale:
      • Concept & Originality : Fresh, new ideas and crazy concepts! Try to do something new, differentiate yourself from the status quo and show us what you're made of.
      • Technique & Execution : Color, shape, texture - be sure your build flows together and represents what you are trying to accomplish.
      • Presentation & Experience : Presentation of a build can really help to make an impression. Be sure you've got good screenshots, spend some time on the post!

      Step 1: Create a map and have fun! You have a little over 3 weeks to build! You do not need to immediately post a downloadable map with your submission. You may post it any time before the entry deadline.

      Step 2: When you're ready to post, head back to your Minecraft saves folder and zip the map folder. Windows users can right-click and Add To > New Compressed Archive; you may also use a third party program such as WinRAR or 7zip.

      Step 3: Go to the Create New Project page on PlanetMinecraft and upload your map as normal! Be sure to take many screenshots to show off the interiors.
