Come one, come all! The Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum is hosting another build-off. This time the theme is Craftsman, or American Arts & Crafts. It’s a fun competition to see who can create the most functional and appealing building within the parameters set by the judges. As an SL builder you are invited to take part in this spirited building competition. We’d be honored and delighted to see you here creating away.
The Craftsman Build-off takes place the weekend of November 6-8, and we have some events ahead of time to whet your appetite! The deadline for entries is 6pm SLT November 5; after that, spaces will be filled if available. The entry fee is $L500 and entry information will be available beginning October 25.
First up is a class on Craftsman style, given by Troy Vogel. This will be held at the Museum on October 25 at 1pm SLT. Craftsman 101 will discuss the American Craft style, its context, uses and key elements. Prospective contestants won’t want to miss this!
Next, at 11am SLT on October 29, Supremius Maximus and Sensuous Maximus will offer a class on Advanced Building Techniques. They will cover tips for conserving prims while getting the most from them and making your builds look excellent.
The Museum’s Friday Night Fling on Friday, November 6 at 6pm SLT will kick off the build-off at 8pm. The contest will run until 6pm November 8, with Peoples’ Choice voting and formal judging after that. The Awards Gala is scheduled for 6-9pm SLT on Monday, November 9, with trophies and prizes given for the top three pro and amateur builds and a Peoples’ Choice award.
Awards include trophies in pro and amateur classes, cash prizes ($L500 top prize), and bragging rights. The winners in each category will be displayed at the museum, and all builders will receive a critique from the judges.
It will be an exciting couple of weeks! Come join us!
