Summer Fun Challenge **Circuit Challenge**
Hello, just like everyone else, I'm back for the summer! I want to capitalize on this summer rush with a contest about that most summery of locales, the beach. Every contestant can make up to three cards that have something to do with the beach, beachy activities (volleyball, sandcastles, surfing, etc), or the tourism economy. Those cards will be judged by myself on their flavor, creativity, balance, and formatting.
I will only judge this contest if at least three different cardsmiths post at least one entry.
Rules:
Max. 3 entries
Modal Double-Faced Cards (MDFCs) count as 2 entries.
Old cards are ok
Try to keep your cards reasonably balanced and formatted
Please give credit to the artist if you can, but it isn't necessary.
Make it "beachy" (The adjective "beachy" applies to whatever you think of when you hear
the word "beach". It's very subjective. Whatever it is you do at the
beach, whatever people you think of, and the environment you expect to
find there. I'm trying to make a contest that is less restrictive than my usual fare.)
1st place: 5 favorites, a follow, and a custom trophy based on any themes I find in your creations. +1 Circuit Point
2nd place: 4 favorites +3/4 Circuit Points
3rd place: 3 favorites, plus the privilege to choose one honorable mention. +1/2 Circuit Point
Honorable Mentions: 1 Favorite +1/4 Circuit Point
Deadline:
May 20th, 2020
(Please note that I'm a very forgetful person. If you're trying to contact me and I don't answer, I got distracted by something. Hopefully, I'll get back to you within a couple days at the most. If all evidence suggests that I forgot about this contest however, don't despair. I'll eventually remember to judge it somewhere down the line.)
Example:
Comments
Inspirations - Sand Golem, Snow Fortress. It is on my plane Ahzmandia, insired in part by the Wizard of OZ. So the same mechanic that melts the Wicked Witch of the West means one blue wave and it's bye-bye Sand Castle. Which everyone who has build a sandcastle below the tide line has seen always happens.
First entry
So, I used the idea of bottles coming onto the beach. My thinking process was that you can get a new artifact, but as you do, one you already control drifts away into the sea, which is why you need to sacrifice an artifact. Hope that made sense.

I'm not sure if this completely qualifies. (I couldn't find some good crab art with it actually next to sand.)
