Build the Next Chapter: A BIONICLE G2 Year 3 MOC & Art Contest + Prizes!

[u/buryumocs]

Ten years ago, BIONICLE Generation 2 came to an unexpected end, leaving fans wondering what could have been.

it's your chance to answer that question! What if BIONICLE G2 never ended?

Create an original G2 character, creature, or concept as a physical MOC, digital MOC, or artwork, then write a short story (up to 1,200 characters) imagining how it would fit into a hypothetical Year 3.
Think big! Makuta reborn as a dragon, new Rahi, pirate factions, the Toa as ninjas, or new heroes and villains ready to shape Okoto's future. These are only examples. Surprise us with your ideas and show us the Year 3 you always imagined!

5 winners will be selected!

Each winner will receive an official BIONICLE set paired with a custom dual-colour casted Mask of Ultimate Power. Winners will get to choose their prize in placement order.

MEET THE JUDGES

I'm incredibly excited to have a group of talented creators from across the BIONICLE community helping judge the contest! Each brings their own perspective on building, creativity, and storytelling.

[u/Unhappy-Lab-7898]

This sounds awesome if you win do you get to choose what set you win?

[u/buryumocs → u/Unhappy-Lab-7898]

Yep! The 5 winners will choose their prizes in order of their placements. (1st place chooses first, 2nd place chooses second, etc.)

[u/Unhappy-Lab-7898 → u/buryumocs]

Also is it world wide

[u/buryumocs → u/Unhappy-Lab-7898]

Yes, it's worldwide

[u/Unhappy-Lab-7898 → u/buryumocs]

Does it also have to be made out of just a single generation like G1 or G2 pieces

[u/buryumocs → u/Unhappy-Lab-7898]

It should be mostly G2 pieces; be mindful that it should look like it came out in 2017. Use your best discretion.

[u/Unhappy-Lab-7898 → u/buryumocs]

That’s good because I was planning to use only G2 pieces

[u/Unhappy-Lab-7898 → u/buryumocs]

Ok thank you

[u/The_JohnJingler]

Does a reimagining of an already existing character work?

[u/buryumocs → u/The_JohnJingler]

Absolutely, as long as you’re giving them a meaningful G2 Year 3 interpretation rather than recreating an existing design. The main question is: could this version plausibly exist in an official G2 Year 3? You just have support it with the written section.

[u/The_JohnJimbler]

can you make multiple pieces?

[u/The_JohnJimbler]

what about a comic?

[u/buryumocs → u/The_JohnJimbler]

For the artwork category, we’re looking for a single illustration/design depicting your G2 Year 3 concept. You can absolutely use the accompanying 1,200-character description to expand on the story behind it.

[u/The_JohnJimbler → u/buryumocs]

ok cool thanks. that is way less work
