Hey hey there, it's me Choo! Summer is fast approaching which means Summer Events 2024 is almost here! Now if you remember during the Sunset Festival of 2023 the theme for next year was voted on and "Winter/Ice" won. Now this years Summer Events is still going to be happening in a snow biome, but I'm changing the theme slightly, to what you will have to wait and find out. But this theme change has given me the opportunity to host one of the classic Simplex 1.0 build comps themes again! In the poll are 7 of the classic build comp themes that took place before even I started getting involved in events. You players will need to pick the 3 that interest you the most, and the winner (or maybe top 2 who knows) will be put on again this summer!
Now whichever one of these themes win, the build comp won't be exactly as it was in simplex 1.0. For example if the Apartment or Office comp wins, the building plots for both of them would be more horizontal instead of vertical or if the boats comp wins, the building plots would be along the coast instead of in the middle of an ocean. So if you somehow participated in these comps back in 1.0 don't worry, they won't be exactly the same. If you have any questions about what to do here, feel free to contact me either in-game, on discord, or just reply to this forum thread!
I'll see y'all in a couple months for Summer Events 2024!

Talk about old build competitions. This poll includes most of Misterteapot's plus some of sneakykitty's earliest build competitions after she took on the event manger role.
It was hard for me decide since every option in this poll deserves a vote for some reason.
The Future is Now!/Scifi build competition had 3 good builds: a Dalek Robot from Dr. Who, Weighted Companion Cube from Portal, and a Space Shuttle. It could have used more participants.
The Apartment build competition had some good entries I liked. They could have looked better now with more modern building techniques and blocks. The OG event was hosted at the start of November 2016, 7 years. and 7 months ago
The Office Build Competition had some great imagination and story telling from past participates. Workers at their cubicles, someone getting interviewed, made up company names giving flavor to the office environment based on their products.
Video Games is such a broad topic. The versatility of what you could build with that theme was used for things like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Mario, Skyrim, Mass Effect, etc. back in the day. What about now?
The Vacation build competition had people's dream getaways, like Paris, Japan, even just the beach. How they were able to build scenes of where they would want to vacation to in a 30x30 plot were too small in my opinion. Past participates made due anyway
The Boats Build Competition had 17th Century inspired ships, Viking Long Boats, a Trireme, a large scale minecraft boat, Airship, and an incomplete ship that reminded me of a vessel from Disney's forgotten Treasure Planet IP. There were two modern ships, and I somewhat wish there would have been more.
Parkour/Jump Puzzle asked participants to make a parkour course that is as hard as possible, and I think the players of today can make something better, especially with the advances in redstone, and simple additions like dripleaves.
Hopefully you'll be able to make a more informed decision know a bit about those past build comps from about 7 years ago.
