Contest chronology

The MRTvision Screenshot Contest 6 is the sixth edition of the MRTvision Screenshot Contest. The contest is a server-wide screenshot competition with Eurovision-style voting and representation.

The ceremony took place in the city of Arcadia, following lil_shadow59's win at the fifth contest with the screenshot "15 Million Tons of Economic Power". The contest debuted on March 1, 2020. The contest's slogan was "Hub For Inspiration". The winner was revealed on May 9, 2020, at 6 p.m. UTC at the Champion's Bowl, prior to the May 2020 GSM. There was an official MBS livestream for both the semi-final and final ceremonies.

The contest was temporarily postponed due to shaders being unavailable.

49 cities participated in the contest, the most in any MRTvision Screenshot Contest. The winner was Murrville with the screenshot "Work Starts at Dusk", taken by RacCort. With this win, RacCort became the third person to win the MRTvision Screenshot Contest two times.

Production

The contest was teased on the MRT Discord on February 19, 2020, with an incomplete image of the logo, missing the word 'ARCADIA' and the MRTvision Screenshot Contest logo. The contest was officially announced on February 26, 2020.

Venue

The venue of the contest, the Champion's Bowl, in eastern Arcadia

The contest's results ceremonies took place for the second time in Arcadia, following Arcadia's victory in the previous edition with the screenshot "15 Million Tons of Economic Power", taken by lil_shadow59. The city previously hosted the fifth contest.

It took place at Arcadia's 2,688-seat amphitheater, the Champion's Bowl, which was constructed in 2020 for the contest. Located on the east side of the town, it is the largest amphitheater on the server by seat count. The open-air, outdoor amphitheater is based on the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. It is close to the MRT Southern Line at SE20. The venue was announced on March 3, 2020.

IntraRail created the "MRTvision Express", a special service with the route of Central City, Siletz, Zaquar, and Arcadia. A supplementary IntraBus service was temporarily created that connected Arcadia City Hall station to the Champion's Bowl.

Visual design

The logo was teased on February 19, 2020, missing the word 'ARCADIA' and the MRTvision Screenshot Contest logo. The contest, with its logo, was officially announced on February 26, 2020. The logo is an edited version of an online image edited by MinecraftYoshi26. The logo is based on the Port of Arcadia. The official slogan of the contest was announced approximately two hours later.

Format

Similarly to the previous contests, the contest features members representing cities, each submitting a screenshot to be voted on by the participants and the willing public. Each city and willing non-participants award a set of 12, 10, 8–1 points to their 10 favorite screenshots, respectively. Each participant is required to vote. Failing to vote or voting strategically can result in the participant facing disqualification or a possible ban from participating in future contests. Similarly to most of the previous contests, there was no theme.

The deadline to join was announced as March 20, 2020. The deadline to send in a screenshot was announced as March 25, 2020. After the semi-final ceremony, the draw order was selected for the final and voting opened for the final near the end of the ceremony. The winner is able to influence the slogan for the next contest, choose the next host city, and receive $3,000. Second place received $2,000. Third place received $1,000. All competitors received $15 as a participatory stipend for voting. The top 10 were featured on the MRT website.

Beginning in this contest the method of breaking ties changed. In ties for any placement, the submission that received points from the most different voters get the higher placement. If there is a tie within that, the submission with more 12 points gets the higher placement. If there is a tie in that, then it goes to the submission with more 10 points, all the way down to 1 point. If the cities have the same point breakdown, the later in the draw order is given the higher placement.

Semi-final allocation draw

The occurrence of semi-finals was dependent on the number of participants. On April 9, 2019, it was confirmed that there would be two semi-finals after the number of entries reached 37. As the prior winner, Arcadia would automatically qualify for the final and vote in both semi-finals. The top 10 screenshots from each semi-final advance to the final.

For the second time, there were pots created for semi-final allocation drawings. The 48 semi-finalists were allocated into six pots, based on aggregate rankings by participant, not by city, from prior contest data. Drawing from different pots helps to reduce the chance of lopsided semi-finals by predicted placement from prior contests. The semi-final allocations were made on April 12, 2020, during a ceremony on Mumble held at the Police Station in Arcadia. Arcadia's draw number for the final was also selected during the ceremony. Attendees placed bets on which semi-final they would be in and Arcadia's draw number in the final for a small monetary prize.

Postponement of the contest

When the contest was announced, there was concern about OptiFine and shaders not being available for the contest as it had not been updated for Minecraft 1.15.2 yet. On March 6, 2020, a poll was put in the events channel in the MRT Discord regarding the future of the contest with four options available: to continue the contest as is and allow shaders and renders, to continue the contest as a "no shaders and renders" contest (Foresne had already submitted a screenshot and thus would have had to retract it), to postpone the contest until OptiFine updates for shaders, and none of the above. The next day, the poll results showing 19 votes for postponing the contest, compared to the eight votes for the second and third options, respectively. The contest was postponed to March 7, 2020. Joining and submitting screenshots closed and re-opened once OptiFine updates for shader compatibility. Participants who join prior to the announcement kept their participatory status and would be asked to reconfirmation of their participation when joining re-opened.

Prior to the postponement, the following were the dates listed for deadlines and events: joining closing on March 20, 2020, submissions closing on March 25, 2020, the voting period for the semi-finals as March 25, 2020 to April 3, 2020, the semi-finals on April 4, 2020, the voting period for the finals as April 4, 2020, to April 17, 2020, and the final on April 18, 2020.

On March 26, 2020, an OptiFine build with working shaders was released. On March 27, 2020, the contest's new dates were announced.
