Is your imagination sparked by science fiction movies, video games, fairy tales, or art? Whatever inspires you to create, make sure your projects are built using Spark!
Make R2 beep and bloop when you say hello, or make a real-life Minecraft torch that lights up when your friends log on to your server. We welcome all your characters, gadgets, and magical items from your favorite worlds. They say that sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Well, so is magic.
The entries we are looking for take a mythical object from science fiction, mythology, fantasy, literature, video games, cartoons, etc. and turn them into a physical good.
If you build a wand that doesn't light up, make noise, or emit a projection-mapped patronus, its still totally elligible! The judges of this contest will favor objects that have technology embedded in them, but it is not necessary to be eligible for the contest.
Multiple entries are accepted, but each entrant can only win one prize. Contest is open to entries from US, Canada [excluding Quebec], UK, China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, India, New Zealand, and Denmark. The Contest begins at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (PT), November 3, 2014. Contest closes for entries at 11:59pm PT, December 15, 2014.
The winner(s) will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable statutes, laws (including, without limitation, common law, if applicable), rules and regulations and for bearing any personal income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, customs duties, or other taxes, fees, insurance, surcharges or other costs relating to receiving, claiming or collecting any prize.
