Ohhh, this is gonna be a good contest. Good luck to all and may the best ones win!

Edit: Why isn't this app on Google play yet. Feels like Android users are being left out...

Guys. You don't HAVE to own the iOS app to participate.... People were doing Papercraft WAY before the app came out. You can google the templates and print them on any pc/mobile device. Please stop making comments about it being unfair that ONLY iOS users can enter. :/

Looks interesting. Probably not going to enter just because I don't have that kind of time/creativity/money/paper/ink/anything else. Heck, I don't even have a smartphone. Heh.

Whatever. I look forward to seeing whatever everyone else comes up with--should be awesome and very interesting!

Yes but the contest is being hosted by the company making the app so I guess you have to use their software to participate.

Did they ever SAY that? Also, how are they going to tell? You're submitting photos of little Minecraft figures/backgrounds made of paper. If the idea is you have to use the app, how on earth are they going to force it?

Pardon my criticism, but don't automatically assume the worst. Try to think positive. It'll make life a lot less stressful

Well, that makes sense to me. If Mojang was hosting a contest for building the best structure in Minecraft, one would expect people to have to have Minecraft to enter. So naturally, since it's 57Digital's contest for the best diorama made with their software, using their software is kind of a requirement.

And, seriously, complaining about four bucks? You can't get lunch for that, unless you like the McDollar Menu and don't eat a lot.

Don't plan on entering this because I don't have a color printer but I can't wait to see what others come up with! Sounds like a cool contest, good luck!

First of all, the app for android is out already and second, I joined the competition! I have already made lots of papercraft worlds. I have to admit, I'm not the best Papercrafter when I compared it to some of the other worlds made by other papercrafters. You can see my creations at twitter.com/ButterCreeperMc but I didn't upload them yet.

How can I print stuff without using an AirPrint printer? I want to enter, but I can't if I have to purchase a new printer.
