BEST REPRESENTATION OF THEME
This years theme is PROTOTYPES.

"A prototype is an early sample, model or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from. It is a term used in a variety of contexts, including semantics, design, electronics, and software programming. A prototype is designed to test and trial a new design to enhance precision by system analysts and users. Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working system rather than a theoretical one." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype

Single entry, from all new build categories, that best represents this theme will win a special award.

BEST OF SHOW
Single best overall entry from all categories.

ALL OPEN
As per previous years there will be an all open category where you can enter a previously completed build from any genre.
