Will you participate and create a (or more) design for the design competition? Please share your thoughts!!!

What do we know so far? I will try to add some information that we have seen so far. Feel free to add information if you have more to share.

June:
We have three more SPECIAL EDITION Lite's that will be part of a user design competition we would like to do in 2025 and hope to involve a younger and wider community. Out of the 6 SE puzzles, 3 will be designed by Chris Pitt and 3 will be designed by the user base. People can choose their favourites in order 1-6 of the SE sets. The chosen designs will be from the under 16 age group and for the over 16 age group and a special award for the best design (please note all designs will be static only).
July:
Additionally, we'll be launching the Sapphire, Emerald, and Titanium as the introductory set (3 special edition puzzles) next year, as part of a user design competition for both under 16's and over 16's.
September:
Today we would like to share with you that the last 3 REVOMAZE Lite Puzzles, Sapphire, Emerald, and Titanium will be available individually or as a set for Pre-Order. Our customers will design these mazes in a User Design Competition to be announced in March of next year.
Our users will have the opportunity to design 3 puzzles in a User Design Competition in 2025. The cores will be made of aluminum, aimed towards our younger members while the Titanium is aimed at our dedicated users with an enhanced challenge.

We are planning the Introductory Set (3 Special Edition Puzzles) that has Sapphire (15/100), Emerald (25/100), and Titanium (35/100). This will be planned for the entries to be assessed from March 2025 and designs can be submitted from now. We will keep track of the number of entries on the website.

The Lite Mapping Template can be used for the designing with some helpful hints and tips that we'll cover in a live YouTube broadcast. The three most creative designs for each of the 3 mazes will be chosen and machined, then sent to our Admin/Moderators for scoring. Each will be labelled A, B, and C for each maze to keep them anonymous (9 in total) and once we have the 3 winners, we will put them into production.

The runners-up will get a set of their designs. We will put all the user's stories on the website and the 3 most sold will receive a special prize! (TBD)

This is some additional information that could be good to know when you are working with your design. I don't think it is a spoiler for anyone but I will put this "level and depth" information here with spoiler tag:

This is almost the same information as above but I will post it here just to collect all the information in one place. This information can be found on the pre-order pages for the three Special Edition puzzles.
How will the User Design Competition work?
 
Planned to be designed by our users in the form of a competition and to introduce puzzlers' creativity! Sapphire (15/100), Emerald, (25/100), and Titanium (35/100) will have aluminium cores aimed at our younger members. The emphasis is to create the Sapphire and Emerald for younger family members while Titanium is to be designed for our dedicated users.
 
In June 2024, we announced 3 additional introductory Lite's within the Special Edition range for 2025. The Puzzle Workshop will choose our top 3 of each and we will request our Admin/Moderators vote to select their chosen designs to come to an overall decision.
