# Big City Big Build

A series of server build contests held in order to showcase the building ability of the community, as well as expanding [Big City](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/history/page/big-city-monarch "Big City (Monarch)") (now known as [Monarch](https://portal.projectcitybuild.com/books/official-projects/page/monarch "Monarch")), the server's main city project. The winners received prizes such as in-game money, items, and codes for Steam games.

## History

The first contests were held by *\_specialk*, and took place over a period of 2 or 3 days, generally on weekends. Specific plots were laid out in the then Big City map for contestants to create their entries, leading to large areas of the city being constructed over a short space of time.

During 2013, *Ouhai\_Ruby* took over running the contests, and several were held between 2013 and 2015. These contests were a longer format, with no set area for builds to be completed in. Instead, contestants were instructed to build their entry in the server's Creative map, and include the co-ordinates of their build within their entry post.
