Check the Weekly Theme
Every Monday at 9:00 AM PST, a new theme will be announced in the #magic-tools-contests channel on our Discord.
Create Your Block

All block submissions must be created and submitted at a 32x32 pixel resolution to ensure future compatibility.

This will open the submission form where you can add your title, description, and display name. Your entry will be automatically posted to the #kotb-league-voting Discord channel. Make sure to submit before the deadline on Friday at 11:59 PM PST.

"The Judgment" Voting Process
Winners are chosen through a fair and transparent process that balances community opinion with expert assessment.
Community Vote (50% Weight)
All valid submissions will be posted in the locked #contest-voting channel. The community will vote using a 👑 emoji. The top 10 entries by emoji count will be ranked.
SAND RUSH Team Vote (50% Weight)
Our internal team will conduct a parallel review, judging entries on creativity, quality, and theme adherence to produce a second-ranked list of the top 10.
Final Ranking
We use a Borda count method to combine the lists. On each list, 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, and so on. The points for each artist are summed, and the highest total score determines the final weekly ranking.
The Royal Treasury: Prize Structure
The "King of the Block League" features a prize pool valued at over $1,200 for each three-week Edition. While the ultimate goal is to claim one of the three Grand Prize packages, which include a LAND parcel, thousands in $SAND, and year-long Grandmaster Pro Subscriptions, there are multiple ways to win each week.
The top three weekly finishers receive a combination of $SAND and a "Minor Potion" of Magic Dust to fuel their next creation.
Beyond the leaderboard, we also offer two special weekly awards to recognize the broader community. The "Creator's Boost" is a "Power Elixir" of Magic Dust awarded to a randomly selected participant who submitted a valid entry but did not place in the top 10, rewarding consistent effort and participation.
Additionally, the "Community Champion" award grants a "Master Brew" of Magic Dust to a community member hand-picked by the SAND RUSH team for being exceptionally helpful, constructive, and sharing their creator's journey with Magic Block within the Discord or on Socials, celebrating those who strengthen the community for everyone.
