Third place: 1 extra map and $10 to spend in the Brawl store.

Remember that your builds will only be accepted if they're built on our build server: MinecraftBuild.com
Use /play Build (1-3), or enter it through the hub to get started!

Have fun and good luck!

 

I'd rather have all programs available to everyone from the get-go, not only the people that know how fawe importing works (which requires multiple steps the average player would not understand in the slightest) I want everyone to feel like they have a chance to win. Disallowing importing also decreases the amount of potential plagiarism that might arise within the contest.
If we can get plugins like goBrush and goPaint for build like in some other creative servers, I would totally be up for having them used in the contest.
