2. Originality:

  • All entries must be 100% original works by the participant. Submitting any models that infringe on intellectual property rights is strictly prohibited.

4. One Entry Per Model:

  • 6. Technical Standards:
  • Each submitted model must be a 3D model and must pass an FDM printing test; there are no restrictions on the software used. Submitted models must have a sound structural design.

  ✨A clean and tidy cover gives you a better chance of making it to the homepage!✨

  • AI-generated models are permitted, provided that the model is printable and the finished product matches the submitted design.

7. Model Licensing:

  • Once a model participates in the competition, it will remain on MakeRoad for at least one year. During this period, the creator grants MakeRoad the non-exclusive right to display and publish the model on the platform.

(Note: Each ID is eligible for participation points only once. Points will be awarded to all creators whose entries meet the contest theme after the judging period concludes.)

——————

🏆 Professional Awards (First, Second, and Third Prizes, as well as the Excellence Award) will be determined by a professional judging panel based on a combination of scoring criteria and platform engagement. (The judging panel consists of three members: two top designers from MakeRoad’s “Top 100 Creators” and one official MakeRoad designer. Note: Judges are not eligible to enter the competition.)

The judges’ scores will account for 95% of the total, while platform engagement (including votes, downloads, likes, and other interaction metrics) will account for 5%—


A panel of expert judges will evaluate entries based on the following criteria (on a 100-point scale):

1. Creativity and Practicality (35%)

● Is the design concept novel and unique? Does it break away from traditional design frameworks?

● How effectively does it address real-world pain points, while fully considering the user experience?


2. Alignment with the World Cup Theme (30%)

● Does it fully embody World Cup elements or the essence of soccer culture?

● Incorporating the MakeroadRC Boat will result in additional bonus points


3. Printability and Manufacturability (25%)

● Are the support structures reasonable and conducive to physical printing?

● Clarity of file specifications and assembly instructions (clear filament paths, reasonable layering, assembly guide)


4. Aesthetics and Details (10%)

● Visual presentation, including the refinement of the design, level of detail, and color coordination

● Quality of the cover image/demonstration video (attractive cover image, rich scene illustrations)

——————

The site's popularity score, which is calculated based on cumulative interactive data such as public voting, downloads, and likes, constitutes 5% of the final score.

Public Voting Rules:

● Public voting runs concurrently with the submission period.

● During the voting period, each registered user may cast one vote per day for the same model in a single competition; users may not vote for their own models.

● The platform will use technical measures to monitor abnormal voting behavior, including but not limited to: a large number of votes cast from the same IP address within a short period, voting via automated scripts, and any form of vote trading.

● Once vote manipulation is confirmed, the platform reserves the right to disqualify the entry without prior notice.

————

  • All professional award results will be announced for a 7-day public review in the corresponding contest group/channel after the judges' evaluation. During this period, if you have any objection to the results, you may leave your comments or suggestions in the comment section of the relevant post.

Evaluation Explanation

【Jury Comments】
First Prize——Maker:@WannaRun


@CuratedLayer
Congratulations! this was my personal favourite of the whole contest. The amount of work behind it is obvious, and the printability is excellent: the plate organisation delivers a full multi-colour result without needing an AMS. What won me over is the inventiveness: this isn't a decorative piece, it's a real game you actually play. The documentation deserves its own mention; the assembly steps are clear enough that anyone can build it successfully. Thank you for an entry that shows both design skill and respect for the people who will print it. Congrats!


@一杯凉茶
This entry brilliantly captures the spirit of the FIFA World Cup by miniaturizing the classic tabletop football game into a fun, multiplayer desktop toy. It serves as both an atmospheric decorative piece and an engaging tabletop game for social gatherings, bursting with sporting ingenuity.



Second Prize——Maker:@daxu9527


@CuratedLayer
Congratulations on your result in the contest. The expression and the pose are what carry this model: they capture the meme culture that surrounds football perfectly. The printability is excellent as well, with no compromises asked of the printer. The way the elements are laid out on the plates shows real creativity and a solid understanding of FDM constraints. Well deserved, and thank you for entering. Congrats!


@一杯凉茶
This figurine offers a witty, creative reimagining of a football icon. Its humorous anthropomorphic styling creates a striking visual identity, perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of the tournament. Seamlessly blending trendy aesthetics with viral appeal, it stands out as a stellar example of sports-themed design innovation.



Third Prize——Maker:@SUZO


@CuratedLayer
Congratulations! and a special note: this one was my son's favourite. It sits right on the theme of the World Cup, with no need for explanation. It's a simple, fast print, which makes it accessible to absolutely everyone. And it's the kind of object people carry along and fiddle with all day long; that's a real strength. Thanks for a fun, well-judged entry. Congrats!


@一杯凉茶
This design captures the spirit of the World Cup by miniaturizing a professional football boot into a charming keychain. Featuring a dynamic, rotatable football mechanism, it adds delightful interactivity to the piece. With highly accurate detailing and a portable form factor, it serves as both a stylish accessory and a standout example of sports-themed(cultural and creative) innovation.
