In February 2004, the activity on .loc.au had fallen. While this was no doubt due to the despair of local Lego fans at the launch of the new shades of grey, it was thought that something needed to be done to enliven activity on .loc.au. Perhaps a competition would do the trick? Richie Dulin looked through his desk, and found a MISP Bionicle and offered it as a prize. It was not long before offers of support and prizes flowed in. Thus, The Great Breathe Some Life Into .loc.au competition was born. Prizes have been donated by Mel Caddick, OzBricks and Richie Dulin. Entry is open to all MOCs submitted by Australians, of an Australian theme, or submitted by a person physically in Australia. This gives Australians a certain edge, but doesn’t automatically exclude anyone. UPDATE: The deadline for this competition has been changed to Midnight AEDST 14 June 2004 (or thereabouts) The prizes are as follows: The Booby Prize - The Best Worst MOC
The Best Worst MOC will be something that’s creatively bad. Perhaps a Grand Admiral Jack Stone figure thoughtlessly infringing someone elses intellectual property while driving a wingless spacecraft made entirely of new light grey bricks?
5th Prize - The most humourous entry $10 Sponsored by Mel $10 Voucher at Mel’s Bricklink Shop Exercise your sense of humour on your Lego bricks. A ‘LOL’ response isn’t good enough, the winner will be a ‘ROFL’.
4th Prize - The most piratical entry
Build anything piratical. Anything. And build it well. Just make sure it’s piratical. (And if you’re not Australian, make sure it’s Aussie themed too).
3rd Prize - The most creative effort Mel’s Mystery Prize Sponsored by Mel Mel is currently exploring all (or at least some) of the important european Lego venues for an appropriate prize for this category. Build with detail. Build with unusual elements. Build with SNOT, SCHLEIM or even MUCUS. Build with flair. But build it well.
2nd Prize - Woomera
Australians will probably know about Woomera, Australia’s contribution to the space race (amongst other things). And a woomera is also a spear-thrower. Build the best Woomera themed MOC to win.
1st Prize - The best Australian themed entry ...it’s a new car!
Sponsored by Mel and Ozbricks This is the big one. The best Australian themed MOC. Fair dinkum.
A note on prizes The winner of 1st prize has the option to take that prize, or one of the lower ranked prizes instead. The winner of the second prize chooses from the remaining prizes and so on. The Fine Print: Entry is open to all MOCs submitted by Australians, of an Australian theme, or submitted by a person physically in Australia. This gives Australians a certain edge, but doesn’t automatically exclude {anyone}. Prizes include shipping within Australia. Entries must be new. No MOC previously posted or shown may be entered. It’s about breathing life into .loc.au after all. Entries should be posted to .loc.au (with a note indicated they are for the competition), and crossposted to any other groups the entrant feels relevent. Entries must be posted by Midnight, May 31, 2004 AEST (or thereabouts) Entries must include links to pictures, which the entrant allows to be reposted, resized etc as the judges require.
