After a long time of building, rendering, voting and counting, here are finally the results of the 2014 EB Digital Building contest. Before presenting them, we (me and Superkalle) would like to thank everyone for their entries, comments and votes. It was a great succes and we got a lot more entries than expected. And there were a lot of great entries too. If we had the money, we'd give everyone a prize.

So, drummroll please.... here are the results:

Micro category

The 1st place goes to..... t-brick

I'm tickled that I least a got a couple votes for each entry. Makes me feel all warm inside. Great job by the winners. Some incredible MOCs.

Congratulations to all the winners! All awesome entries!

[moctown]

Congrats to the winners! You guys did a great job and I'm happy a german compatriot won the micro category - well done t-brick!

Thank you everybody voting for #20 (micro cat.) - - and off course many thanks to EB for organizing this great challenge, it was really fun to participate!!

We only had 1 prize in micro, because we had to split the prizes between 2 categories. But, nonetheless, it's something to be proud of to become in the top 5:

No problem in my eyes, moreover it was pointed out at the very beginning of the contest! But, in which cases/competitions are those special tags (icons) like "MOC Expert", "LDD Builder", ... awarded to top ranking user profiles? It would be nice, to get one in this case!!

[JM1971]

Well done winners!, is eurobricks still going to build any of them with real bricks?

There are a ridiculous amount of tags on EB, some are even specially made for 1 person. Most tags don't really have criteria, but a user gets a tag when a staff member thinks they deserve it.

Some previous contests on EB had special tags for the top 5 winners, it may be a good idea. I'll think about it

[juraj3579]

Hello everybody,

First of all I'd like to thank all the voters for supporting my contribution, it was a really hard contest, with a lot of great designs, so respect to all competitors. Thanks also to EB stuff for organizing such a contest, for those who don't have possibilities to build with real bricks.

I'm looking forward to the next event!

[moctown]

Yeah, right and that's why I asked for it. Others would be happy about it as well, I guess ...

I'm looking forward to see your decision ( ) soon!

[o0ger]

I am so proud to have finished in the top five of the Micro Category! So many great buildings! Thanks for a great contest!

[Classicsmiley]

Yes, I know I'm resurrecting a very old thread, but I realized I couldn't remember if the LDD brick prizes that were awarded were ever actually added to LDD? If so, which bricks were chosen?

[Umbra-Manis]

Since Classicsmiley resurrected this thread, Is there a possibility of another contest like this soon? Or the next RCB?

[Superkalle]

The bricks that were chosen (if I remember correctly) was 1x1 tiles with printed letters. Then time went on and I believe the bricks where eventually ready for release, , but then came the Big Draught....and we're still waiting for a new brickset....
