    I (WolvieD2GMark) will be hosting a Skylands Competition that will Last until December 15 at 6PM (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The point of this contest is to connect the SkyLands together as-well as making the Skylands look nice for everyone, to attract users to wanting what SkyLand’s access. This contest will shine the SkyLands and hopefully allow users without Fly/Compass the ability to move between islands freely without the need to make those annoying dirt/cobble paths from island to island.
    Now… some minor details!
    I’m looking for more than just cool stuff…
    It’s gotta be useful…
    It’s gotta have a reason or purpose to it!
    You will obtain more points if you fulfill more criteria/more effort/more structures.
    You will get more points if Its connecting to Spawn in some way (So work together with other users to get ALL the islands connected! ~ Does not have to be directly connected to Spawn~ Can be connected to Adjacent Islands).
    This contest can have anything from Palaces, Gardens, Hot Air Balloons, Bridges, Pixel Art Etc. You get the idea... right? ^-^

    This looks like a cool competition! I'll definitely be filling out an application in the near future. However, this would be more appropriate in the User Competitions section of the forum, and I'll be moving it there now.

    Details about your Overall Project: (Tell us about all the stuff you made.. Like Why!)
    I'm not sure why we are giving away our ideas for everyone to see but the basic idea that I have at the moment is I wan to build a giant 50x50 skycastle. Which is ironic in the aether. Branching off each direction from the castle is a water drop that will release you down to the different islands. There will also be 20x20 plots for anyone to use and build a house to create Laputa. My castle will interconnect it all. Inside the castle there is a cafe with lots of food, and on the upper floor there are storage lockers for anyone's use.

    What structure(s) have you built / Co Built:
    (Each piece of your submission must have a mini-application listed below, so If you build a Bridge and a Air Balloon you’d have two mini apps~ One for each!)
    Bridge to the castle
    Bridges branching to each of the islands
    Castle
    (I completely filled out one application because all of the building are all connected so I wasn't sure exactly how to do 'miniapps' for each piece. Everything is all in the same location.)

    Structure Title: (What you calling it!)
    Laputa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laputa)(Also the title of the move "Laputa: Castle in the Sky")

    Coordinates: (Press F3 or /getpos)
    Castle:
    x:-76
    y:52
    z:194

    Caslte Bridge:
    x:-35
    y:52
    z:144

    Purpose: (Looking Cool is a purpose!)
    To look really cool and attract new people but it will also provide a food source from the cafe, storage units, plots that are free to build on, and pathways for those without fly.

    How is it Relevant to Aether! (E.g. A Bridge Connects Things, An Airship Flys!)
    Well duh a sky castle is gonna be in the sky.... and it also connects things.
    Laputa will interconnect all the surrounding islands, provide properties to build on especially for non flyers like myself, provide storage units, provide food, and of course make the aether look beautiful.

    Are these original designs? (Please link in images/website if they are not):
    Yes the designs are original

    I am making a spot for explorers in the Aether, with a farm, resting spot, kind of like a motel?

    Details about your Overall Project: I made a bridge connected to spawn island to get all non-fly players out of the spawn area and start another build. I also made a Aether Guide Office, where you can read all rules and info on the Aether located right beside spawn for new players to see.
    What structure(s) have you built / Co Built: I built a bridge and small Aether Guide Office.
    Structure Title: Aether Guide Office.
    Coordinates:
    X:13
    Y:94
    Z:95
    Purpose: To help new players that are new to the Aether and so they know all rules and Aether info.
    How is it Relevant to Aether?: It is a little building that is found right beside spawn for new players, I think it is relevant.
    Are these original designs?: I made the designs and I got ideas from google and youtube and I added some random pieces together.
    Did anyone Else Co-Build any of your submissions: I build this by myself.

    _____________________________________________________________

    What structure(s) have you built / Co Built: I built a bridge.
    Structure Title: Main Bridge.
    Coordinates:
    X:20
    Y:85
    Z:98
    Purpose: To help players without fly, so they can get out of the spawn area and start their own builds.

    I just noticed the No Ext Creations Rule but I'm a little confused by it. It says we can't use it to create our build because you said it has to be built by hand. Can we use it in our build. Like if I had a drop into a pool of water and the drop used a bridge sign to release the player on button press. Is that kind of use of Ext Creations allowed? It was still all built by hand.

    And yeah, I have a couple bridges that can be extended and contracted in mine. I placed them there and set them up.... it just allows me to toggle whether they are always there or not

    Details about your Overall Project: My project is called 'Jolly Land'. It is just to the right of Aether Spawn, built on one of the nearest islands. I actually have several different builds in this project. I have many Cherry Blossom trees and Hot Air Balloons around the area for aesthetics. Some Cherry Blossoms are floating on man-made islands. In total, I connected 3 nice sized islands, and gave access to higher/lower points on all 3 islands. I feel that my project really makes the Aether look nice.
    What structure(s) have you built / Co Built: Bridges connecting 3 Islands, 3 hot air balloons, several cherry blossom trees for decoration, a Zodiac Nation Embassy, a Modern Cottage, a large Business Building, a Mine Shaft, and a nice Japanese Home.
    Structure Title: Jolly Land
    Coordinates: -52, 61, 130; -100, 77, 125; -76, 69, 100; -127, 64, 171; -151, 70, 176; -105, 105, 130; -76, 99, 110; -107, 85, 86
    Purpose: It connects three islands, and looks nice at the same time. I love the look that the floating cherry blossom trees give as well as the modern-ness of my structures.
    How is it Relevant to Aether! Several bridges that connect the floating islands, as well as hot air balloons!
    Are these original designs? (Please link in images/website if they are not): These are all my designs.
    Did anyone Else Co-Build any of your submissions: Nope, I worked solo.
