Babylon Building Contest Finishes Up

Written by Matthew

AWTeen World -- Tuesday marked the last day of building in the AWTeen “Buildings of Babylon” building competition. Started about a month ago on May 19, contestants were given one month to build any recognized Wonder of the World, as listed by Wikipedia. Because of this theme, entries were vast, ranging from the Panama Canal to the Coliseum of Rome to a wireless router, representing the Internet.
Working with a lot size four times bigger than given for normal AWTeen building contests, such as hyperbuilds, fourteen people completed their builds for the contest, which are now being voted on. In order to vote, teleport to AWTeen, type in “^votenow”, and click on the picture of the build that you wish to vote for. Voting ends on Sunday, and results are announced that evening.
All of the builds can be seen by teleporting to 0n 3500w in AWTeen, or going into the world and typing ^jump Babylon.
Editor's Note: AWNews has taken photos of several buildings in the contest. You can visit our builds image gallery and look under 'Babylon Building Contest' for related entries!

From ascending mountains to
From ascending mountains to flowing streams, Maple Valley is a practical home away from home. Situated in Yellow world, this fertile valley is the latest update to the world by its watchful caretaker, Digigurl.Maple Valley is a pre-terrained building area, sporting customized terrain for the builders. Such features are a far-cry from the standard flat grasslands of the world. In this 70-290 exam area, builders can now have a lakeside home or mountain cabin without having to build the entire environment themselves!Not intent on breaking the theme of the world, a cabin has been placed in the center of the valley as the 640-863 ground zero area. Quick teleports to the Yellow object yard and texture yard can be found there. A small list of rules can also be found here.For builders, the global Apollo bot services are always available here. To begin building, just find your ideal location and say ap:seed! Also, holes in the terrain or any other local services can be arranged by Digigurl on request.Do you think you have a cool idea for an adventure-type quest that people will enjoy? Build a rough sketch of it in a public building world such as AW, AWTeen, or 642-383 Yellow world! If you're not a good builder, then assemble a team of builders to collectively work on the project! All ideas will be judged on July 15th with the winner receiving build rights in AWMyths on July 16th to put his/her/their creation into action!
