May Mosaic Madness Launch!

MosaicBricks May Mosaic Madness!
Celebrating mosaics all through the month!

Hello everyone! It's May, and I'm declaring it Mosaic Month! I think it's already stroke awareness month sooooo make sure you lower your cholesterol...and make some kick butt mosaics too! I wrote out a schedule that I'm going to try my hardest to follow that will have one post a day so make sure you don't miss a thing!

But, I'm going to be hosting my very own contest! That's right! There's no real name for the contest, how about, "The First Annual MB May Mosaic Madness Challenge (32x32)!" (TFAMBMMMC for short )

Official Rules and Guidelines:
1. The creation must be a mosaic. Hello? It's a mosaic contest...
2. For this specific contest, the creation must be a 32x32 studs up mosaic (No smaller or larger). EDIT: A lot of people have been asking to do not studs, up which I've said it's perfectly fine for people to do if they wish. I'd just like to keep it very broad to all ages of people. AFOLs to KFOLs. Which brings me to my next rule...
3. Contest is open to all ages.
4. Clone branded bricks are not encouraged. Please use only Lego Bricks. If one slips through, I understand. Just try to stay away from them. ;-D
5. You can enter up to 3 times, but you are only eligible for placing once.
6. Please use only new creations.
7. I reserve the rights to change any of the prize descriptions at any time for any reason.
