Screenshot and Build competitions are a mixed event taking place on both Discord and in-game on a frequent basis. Over the last 3 years numerous themes have been explored and done for both builds and screenshots, seeing players share their own takes on the themes given
How it works
Build Competition
Players will receive a theme in the competition Discord channel with a deadline. Until this deadline, participants will need to design a build around the theme of the competition (and around the specific rules if it has any.) Upon completion, players will take screenshots of their submission and upload them to the channel. Once the deadline passes, All players in the Discord will be able to vote.
From time to time, new server utilities, such as portals and warps, will be designed via build competitions.
Screenshot Competition
Screenshot competitions follow a similar structure, Themes are posted in the Discord with a deadline, Participants will then take a screenshot themed around the competition, and then upload them to the channel for voting once the deadline is over. Players are awarded with bonus credit if their screenshot features an original build.
Voting
Votes can be submitted after the deadline. Players will vote using 
(To submit 1 point) and 
(To submit 2 points) or both to submit 3 points and can vote for however many submissions they like.
Rules
The rules of competitions are as follows:
- Players may submit a maximum of 3 embeds, extra images can be done in an imgur album. E.g A player can either submit 3 screenshots or 2 screenshots + an album link.
- Players are not allowed to pay or invite others for the specific purpose of obtaining votes but can vote for themselves if they fancy
- In build competitions where there is more than 1 theme, players cannot take a "One build suits all" approach (Building one build to submit for both themes). However, they are allowed to participate in both theme competitions with 2 separate builds.
- While not a rule, it is recommended players try to respect the theme of the competition to a degree. Guidelines for what does and doesn't count are normally listed in the posts themselves.
Official Competitions
Below is a list of each individual competition and every submission included.
July 2019 "UltraVanilla" Screenshot Competition
The first official screenshot competition, this event did not have a specific theme, instead inviting players to simply vote on what they believed to be the best screenshot outright. The channel used for this would later be generally used for screenshots
