The Speed Terrain Contest companion guide. Your one stop resource to all Terrain Contests past, present, and future. Introduction
Spoiler Alert!
Speed Terrain Contests have been around for some time now, so it seems a little overdue to have a tribute thread dedicated to the hosts who put the effort in to stimulate custom terrain building in the community, and the participants who continue to wow us with inspiring customs. It is my goal here to put together a resource page for faster referencing of all things to do with "Terrain Contests" and mabe even help out the hosts of these events so that they may quickly reference what has and hasnt been done before.
Speed Terrain Contests Host's
Spoiler Alert!
For starters I'd like to thank Cycoduck for getting the ball rolling as the father of the STC. Further thanks are due to Chief, who kept it going strong, and we certainly cant forget Liefkicker, who blew us away in the first three contests. Finally I'd like to thank the community, without your support and participation there would be no Speed Terrain Contest.
