Bionicle and Castle. Two themes that should never meet, and yet here we are…
Welcome to the Big Bioni-Castle Contest! (Well, it’s not that big, I just like how it sounds)
What does a Bionicle-Castle MOC mean to you? Build it and enter it in before November 15th 11:59 PM (PT) and we’ll see what your sick twisted minds come up with!
Of course, a contest wouldn’t be much of a contest without prizes, which are as follows:

A few rules:
This contest is International!
There are no restrictions on Bionicle and System part usage! Bionicastle is more of a suggestion than a strict adherence anyway.
Digital builds are allowed, however, you can’t exploit no-clipping and you may not use any parts that don’t currently exist physically in that colour (so no pink mixel joints, I’ll be watching)
Custom or bootleg pieces are not allowed, however you can still use anything produced by Lego, so go crazy with that Znap and Modulex if your heart desires.
The build must be new, so you may not enter anything shared publicly before the date the contest went live.
You may enter as many entries as you like! However, only one entry per contestant will be chosen as the winning entry if it wins. I would advise spending your time on one entry rather than spreading your efforts over multiple.
Deadline is November 15th, 11:59 PM Pacific Time. There won’t be extensions but 6 weeks should hopefully be plenty of time for you to get your entry in!
Once the winners are announced I will contact them asap for shipping details.
Judging is expected to take about a week however this may vary, so please be patient if they are not out within a week!
Good luck and have fun!
