Mosaic Building

As a long-standing tradition in the history of European Championships, we will also host the Mosaic Building competition at Euro 2016. This is an unofficial event, where a team of competitors use hundreds of Rubik’s cubes to create a funny, nice or simply beautiful image. This year, the Mosaic contest will be organized by RubiArt.

The conditions of the Mosaic Building competition are:

  • Each team can include a maximum of 4 people, all of whom must be competing at Euro 2016.
  • Each team will get a maximum of 529 cubes to use. (The cubes will have the original color scheme, with black being used instead of green.)
  • Each mosaic has to fit into a frame, which has 23x23 cubes dimensions.
  • There will be 90 minutes for the teams, which includes setting up, building the picture, taking photos and administrating.
  • Competitors accept and keep the rules.

If you would like to enter the competition, please let us know by sending an e-mail to Adam Polkowski. Feel free to use the online mosaic creator. (The registration deadline closes with the official competition’s online registration, on the 30th of June.)

In your e-mail, please enclose:

  • The name of your team
  • The names of the team members with WCA IDs (if not available, then the date of birth), signaling the team captain
  • The time slot which you prefer

The Mosaic competition will take place on Friday and Saturday, using the following time frames for both days:
