Christmas is coming towards us with great speed. And to celebrate christmas I thought I'd have a small Minecraft competition! and there is a prize for the winner!
What is the prize of the competition?
The winner will be rewarded a Minecraft account, that he/she can do whatever with. For example give it to a friend as a christmas present!
Theme of the competition
Since it's winter now and christmas is knocking at our doors the theme of the competition is winter/christmas. So what you have to do is simply to build something, anything really, that in someway can be connected to winter or christmas. A giant santa, Rudolf or an iglo, what ever you can think about.
How do I enter?
Anyone can enter the competition, simply by sending me an email to rolfdavidminecraft@gmail.com.
What should the mail contain?
Make sure you Title the mail with something like "Minecraft X-Mas competition"
In the email I would like three things, a few pictures of what ever you have built, and the world save where you have build it. I want the save so I can see that it's really you who have made it and that you didn't just take the picture from somewhere on the internet.
It is also appriciated to type a short instruction on how to get to the build, if the spawnpoint is far from it.
A movie of the build is also nice but not mandatory.
When is the last day to enter the competition?
I will take one last look at the email accounts at 12:00 on december 23 and the winner will be choosen before 18:00 the same day. This is so that the winner can give away the account if he/she whishes to.
Who will be judging the competition?
Me along with two others will be grading the contestants individually.
If you have any questions, just post a comment here on the blog and I'll try to answer it as soon as possible!
Hope you'll enjoy this!

Cool! That way I can give a copy to my brother as a Christmas present!
SvaraRaderaGood! That was the sort of the point, hehe!
SvaraRaderagonna get started as soon as i get a snow map
SvaraRaderaHaha! how many worlds have you had to creat so far?
SvaraRaderaSince the new update, you don't need to create new map until you find a snow map... You just need to run around long enough and you'll find one :P
SvaraRaderaHehe, ofc, forgot about that!
SvaraRaderahow am i supposed to make a picture in minecraft in order to get minecraft? :I
SvaraRaderait will be a golden idea :D
SvaraRaderaGold is shiny
SvaraRaderastarting to work on this today.
SvaraRaderaGot an idea :) but I don't really know if I should since there is now falling snow :/
SvaraRaderaDo it!
SvaraRaderaNice... *grabs MCEdit and starts working*
SvaraRaderaThe deadline should be changed to the 17th so the winners can get the game before beta
SvaraRaderaI have already got the account in my posession so it will be an Alpha account that's rewarded in the competition.
SvaraRadera@Johnny Yeah that's a good idea...
SvaraRaderaUnless the account is created before that date and given later, altough that would not let you customize it... but a name like Xmas-Winner would be nice too
Just noticed Rofl-David's comment
SvaraRaderaBTW Rofl what are there going to be the rules by which you will judge?(more concretely)
SvaraRaderaI'm building something BIG for the competition. Btw, what's the name of the account going to be?
SvaraRaderaI can't tell you the name of the account unfortunatly, due to the fact that someone with mad skills would be able to hack it. But I can tell you it's something related to the competition.
SvaraRaderaNice language for the comments, and I just messaged you (on minecraftforums.net) a link to the download of what I got so far. It has a sled, a unfinished santa, and a death cart track by the grinch since he is in those kids movies, and evil :3.
SvaraRaderaIs it fine if I use a christmas texture pack? I have one.
SvaraRaderaYou can not send me the save file to me on youtube, you have to send it to my email, rolfdavidminecraft.gmail.com
SvaraRaderaAnd you can use what ever texture pack you would like.
oh my, i finished my 10k+ block project. Its really cool. But when i tried to find the save, it wasnt there, really. I did back it up on my stick. But the folder is empty(?). Oh well, atleast i got some fun building it.
SvaraRaderaGl on exam.
Sent you my build... hope you like it!
SvaraRadera-Hypernator1
I sent you my build, too ... I hope it will win, but even if it doesn't win, I still had fun building it =)
SvaraRaderaWay to go, Toad!
SvaraRaderaBTW what time are you in? GMT+-??
what time rolf david is in
SvaraRaderaWhat time I'm in? I have no idea, but its about 12:00 AM here now.
SvaraRaderano, I was asking Rolf....
SvaraRaderawhatever it doesn't matter anymore as the competition is over... and I am getting anxious...
I want the winner's build to be posted, please?
Hey, did you even check all the worlds?
SvaraRaderathats not fair i don't have minecraft so i have to get it to win it? thats pointless
SvaraRaderaI did say from the beginning that one of the main reasons for the competitins was so that someone could give the account as a christmas gift to someone.
