I. Contest Awards Overview

This contest features three categories: All-Participant Award, Core Creation Track, and Model Printing Award, with a generous total prize pool and multiple winning opportunities!

Professional awards are judged by the MAKEROAD Official Jury​ (composed of three members — two top platform designers and one official designer; judges are not eligible to participate) on a 100-point scale based on the following criteria:

💡 Bonus Bias:​ Works that cleverly incorporate MAKEROAD RC components (cars/boats) will receive additional scoring preference.

1. Creativity & Theme Fit (35%)

How well Halloween elements are expressed; whether the design concept is novel and unique, breaking out of traditional frameworks.

2. Printability & Manufacturability (30%)

Whether support structures are reasonable; file standardization and clarity of usage instructions (clear wiring, reasonable layering, assembly guide).

3. Practicality / Adaptability (25%)

Wearable items must include size parameters; RC modification parts must provide assembly instructions with official components; display items must include recommended print settings.

4. Aesthetics & Details (10%)

Refinement of shape, completion of details, color matching; quality of cover image/demo video.

II. Award Details

🎁 All-Participant Award

Eligibility:​ Creators who meet contest requirements and successfully upload models.

Reward 1:​ 30 points upon participation (guaranteed for valid entries, distributed after judging).

Reward 2:​ A chance to win 1 SUNLU S4 Pro Filament Dryer.

The lucky draw will be conducted via a third-party lottery platform (https://log1997.github.io/log-lottery/home), using participating users' IDs as the basis for the draw. The final results will be announced together with the competition awards.

⚠️ Each ID may upload up to 10 contest models, but receives the participation points and draw chance only once​ (based on user ID).

🏆 Core Creation Track

1. Professional Awards​ (1st, 2nd, 3rd Prize ×1 each; Excellence Award ×10)

Judged by the jury based on scoring criteria + on-site popularity (downloads, likes, comments).

2. Rising Designer Award (3 winners)

Eligibility:​ Designers publishing their first work​ on MAKEROAD. The account must have no approved public models before the contest starts, and the contest entry must be the account's first published model.

Reward:​ 3 rolls of PLA filament each.

3. TOP 3 Popularity Awards (3 winners)

Selection Criteria:​ Independently judged; the sole basis​ is final vote count from public voting, unrelated to professional jury scores.

Public Voting Rules:

Reward:​ 5 rolls of PLA filament.

⚠️ The same work can win both​ the "Top Popularity Award" and "Professional Awards" simultaneously; prizes are stackable.

📣 Model Printing Award (200 winners)

How to Participate:​ If a user uploads a photo of a physical print of a contest model on that model's page, both the uploader and the model designer will each receive 30 points.

Notes:

1.Both single users and designers can earn a maximum of 90 points through this stage.

2.For works of the same model, if a user uploads multiple printing photos, the reward will only be calculated once; repeated uploads will not result in duplicate point issuance.

3.Designers are prohibited from printing their own competition entries to participate in this award.

IV. Violation Handling

The following behaviors, once verified, will result in cancellation of rewards and corresponding penalties:

1.Plagiarism / Reposting:​ Uploading plagiarized, reposted, or IP-infringing models results in cancellation of all points and eligibility; severe cases lead to account ban.

2.Fake Engagement:​ Fake posts or inflated interaction data (self-farming/mutual farming of downloads/favorites/likes/votes) results in cancellation of related points and rewards. The platform monitors abnormal behavior (same IP, automated scripts, etc.) via technical means; once confirmed, disqualification applies.

3.Associated Accounts:​ Highly similar shipping information (suspected multi-account participation by the same user) results in cancellation of excess account rewards, retaining only the first qualifying account.
