Hirst Arts Design Derby
The Hirst Arts Design Derby (commonly known as the HADD) is a yearly building contest hosted by Scott Spieker on his web site called VoidGamers.

The next contest (HADD 9) will begin August 1st, so be sure to
start working on your entries as soon as possible!

A few winners from HADD 8:

Temple of Tears

Rollin's Jacks (dice tower)

The Royal Greenhouse
by Markizzt

How the HADD Works
1. Build and paint a model out of Hirst Arts blocks. The building should be at least 70% made out of Hirst Arts blocks to qualify.

2. Take some photos of your model from various angles. You'll need to use a digital camera, because you're going to send the files to the Voidgamers web site.

3. Sign up on the Voidgamers web site here. It's free to sign up, and you can also upload photos of your work anytime for the everyone to see.

4. When the contest starts, upload your photos onto the Voidgamers web site (it's easy). The next contest (HADD 9) starts in August 2008.

5. Each contestant gets one vote per-catagory. However, you are unable to vote for your own entry(ies).

For a complete list of the Hadd Rules, you'll need to visit the HADD Rules Page. Hirst Arts is not responsible for the running of this contest, but we do supply the prizes.
