Builderman’s Place Design Contest

As everyone knows, Builderman is super busy. He would like some new places but he hasn’t been able to find the time to design and build them. So here’s how you can help. We need your creative minds to come up with some awesome places!

Get your visual minds going and see what sort of a place you can think of for Builderman. Then you can draw it on paper and use a scanner (or take a picture of your drawing). Another option is to use a graphics program like Paint to show your idea. Be sure to include colors and even words if you like.

cottageSend your images to us and then we’ll have a vote from the users. After the top 10 designs have been selected we’ll have the best builders of the land make your ideas come to life! But don’t worry, you don’t have to build for this phase. All you have to do is draw or design a place.

Prizes
Everyone who sends their design for Builderman’s place will receive a small prize. We will show some of them on the Roblog in a parade format like with previous contests. The top 10 Designers - decided by popular vote - will receive a fabulous prize and a chance for their place to be built by a pro-builder and installed at Builderman’s account!spaceship

Limits
Each user can enter this contest only once, no matter how many accounts you have. We know you have lots of ideas for places but try to put your energy into making one really great idea. You can send 3 images of your idea for Builderman’s place, just in case one image is not enough to show what is going on.

To Enter

Step 1: Come up with an idea
Step 2: Draw your idea on paper and use a scanner to get them into your computer. Or draw your idea in a computer program.
Step 3: Email your images to us, or put them on the internet and email the links.

Send the following to event@roblox.com

  1. Your Username - Very important!
  2. Images of your design - these need to be image files like jpg, jpeg, bmp, tga, gif and png. Limit 3 images per user.
  3. A couple sentences describing the place so we can understand the design.
  • Don’t grab photos or image files off the Internet and pretend they are yours.
  • Don’t send messages to Builderman asking if he got your email or what he thinks of your idea. Send any questions to ReeseMcBlox.
  • Don’t send files that need to be opened by programs like Autocad, Adobe Acrobat, or PowerPoint.

The deadline to submit designs is 9 A.M. Pacific time on Monday Jan 28, 2008. The building phase will not start until after the winners of this phase are chosen.

We can’t wait to see what sort of fun an interesting ideas you have for a ROBLOX place for Builderman, so get started and send in those entries!

  8. I added some more clarifications in the post.

    This is not an in-game building contest. We have lots of those throughout the year. This contest is about design - drawing or laying out your idea as an image. Not every contest is for everyone!

    Comment by ReeseMcBlox — January 20, 2008 @ 2:09 am

    Short update on me: since September and October Ive been working on college admissions and preparing for exams. I got an offer to do my dream course at Cambridge two weeks ago, so a huge load has been taken off my back. Im just revising for January exams now and then I might be around Roblox a bit more…

If your design’s voted one of the top 10 then it’ll be built a pro-builder and used as one of Builderman’s places! Entries will be accepted until 9 a.m. Pacific time on Monday, January 28! One entry per user. For official details please see Official Contest Rules. Thanks! [...]
