Here's a fun game we're going to play



You should be happy, the game starts today



Your help is needed to find all my gold



It's tokens and coins, the legend's foretold



Read all the clues, you will see them below



Only the wisest will be in the know



Riddles will guide you to a treasure chest



Submit your screenshot to prove you're the best



If you are the first to post your success



Riches and riches upon you, I'll bless



But please go with caution, take this to heart



You can win only once...plan and be smart



The first clue I'll give will pop up today



The second tomorrow, third on it's way



Good luck to you all, please go find my loot



And while you're at it, I'm missing a boot

Official Rules
Builds cannot be offensive.
All builds must have a holiday theme. What you build (for example: igloo, ice palace, snow village, etc.) is up to you. Your build should illustrate a winter-themed wonderland.
All builds, to be considered as an official entry, must be marked completed using the command /plot done. Any builds not marked as completed by the close of the contest on January 4, 2015 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) will not be judged as an entry.
Criteria for judging, based on a 10 point scale, are as follows: creativity, originality, winter theme, and design. Point totals will not be made public.
Have fun!

Tips for Entries
To get started and find your plot, use the command /plot auto.
If your entry requires elements not set as the default environment in the contest world, instructions should be placed on a sign at the border of your entry plot, facing towards the path. Elements can include a day/night element or weather. Any questions on other possible element capabilities should be messaged to helios8385 here on the forums.
If there is a component of interaction involved with your entry, this must be explicitly and obviously noted on your contest plot. A sign along the outside edge of the plot, facing outwards towards the path, will suffice.
All features of a creative server are enabled, including WorldEdit and redstone. Any questions on how to use World Edit should be searched.
Please don't bother the staff about your build.

With great power comes great responsibility.
