Year’s biggest Build contest is back: KIBO 7 & XMAS (WN #24)

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER #24: KIBO ORGANIC CONTEST 2025, DANIEL MERRIAM BUILDS, CHRISTMAS!

It’s that time of the year – Feelin’ warm & fuzzy! But first:

3K IN PRIZES: KIBO 2025

KIBO (Which doesn’t really stand for anything. Although Kibo is a name of Japanese origin meaning “hope” or “wish”) is back! The biggest showdown for ORGANIC BUILDERS, and possibly the biggest reoccuring such contest in Minecraft. Organics aren’t a requirement but… Just take a look at the past entries. Organics have the edge when it comes to telling an emotional, themed story.

*Featuring a $3K prizepool between the winners (plus an impossible to get, no-one-ever-got-this, separate prize of $4K for a build of exceptional quality!) This is the 7th such competition.

Theme: Culinary Creations / Prizepool: $3200 / More Info: https://www.kibosculptures.com

Judges include prominent members of the organics community:

Dr_Bond‍‍ / Megrae‍ / IceRock‍ / Cafe PECORI‍ / Lmaoki‍ ‍/ Knighty‍ ‍/ 4cu

EXPECT TO SEE STUFF LIKE THIS! (As a structure builder, this is foreign magick to me:)

CELEBRATING XMAS 2025

Not much to say as everyone settles into the Christmas break with good food, friends & family.

Some Minecraft servers are holding special events, including the creative Cubed.Community yearly firework event on Saturday, December 27, 2025 at 20:00. Have a good one, as snow falls and the Minecraft chests turn into their Christmas texture counterparts! AND CHECK THIS OUT:
