Submissions for this contest are no longer being accepted Here we are again with another Build-Off contest. Because your submissions for the Build-Offs have been getting better and better, we want to try something different this time. Instead of one week for submissions, this submission window is going to be open for two weeks! This will give everyone all the time they need to make the most awesome contraption that they can think up. As usual, the winners of the Build-Off will receive Steam games of their choice!
Here are all of the details for the contest. PLEASE READ OVER THEM CAREFULLY. We will NOT accept submissions that don’t follow all the rules!

Contest Theme

How to Enter

• At any time during the entry period, create a contraption and submit it to the Steam Workshop. Submit it as a contraption, not a puzzle.
• In your contraption description, make a note that it is a submission for the CM Waldo vs Tinker Build-Off

Contest Dates

Rules

• Entries for this contest must be created by you, and cannot be the work of someone else.
• Do not submit something that was submitted to the Workshop before the contest date. Even if you were the creator, this is not allowed.
• Entries must be submitted to the Steam Workshop as a Contraption, not as a puzzle.
• We can disqualify someone at any time if they are found to be cheating.
• One entry per user only. You can change your submission up until the completion date, but you cannot submit multiple entries.

Scoring

• Technique: How technically impressive is your contraption? How much does it make the judge say, “I can’t believe they actually pulled that off.”
• Originality/Creativity: Are you using parts in a new and original way? Are you doing something nobody else has thought of?
• Presentation: Don’t just submit your contraption on the default blue background. Add some pretty scenery, animate it, give a nice backstory to what’s happening in the contraption.

Prizes

• 1st Place: $100 worth of Steam Game(s)*
• 2nd Place: $60 worth of Steam Game(s)*
• 3rd Place: $30 worth of Steam Game(s)*
