Town Hall Contest!

I've been noticing a lot of people have been relatively more "bored" then usual, so I think it's time for an in-game contest, because not everyone has the programs/ extra knowledge required to make a banner.

So on that note, I'm introducing the first in-game contest for MCMD!
Your task is to create a town hall. The town halls will be ranked and voted on (closed ranking/voting) by the Super-Moderators and Admins. The player with the best town hall will get rights to start their own town.

That's all a bit vague though, let me expand on this a bit more:

The rules for building the town-hall are as follows:
-Everything you build (town hall, exterior features, and "secret ingredient") must be contained in a plot with an area of no less than 625 (25x25 if it is a square), but no more than 1600(40x40 if it is a square). That means you can make your town-hall area any size you want, but it must have an area between 625 and 1600 blocks.

-You must have an exterior area. That means your town hall cannot just be a building. That exterior area can be 10 flowers, but it must have something. Alternatively, if your town hall is big, incorporate that exterior area into your town-hall. Maybe have a rooftop garden, or a glass wall and an "oasis" on the other side, but it's your call. However, you must have an exterior or outdoor area.

-Now, for those of you that don't know what Iron Chef is, it is a game show where two famous chefs compete head to head to create a full course meal. The meal part isn't important, but what makes this show unique is the "secret ingredient." At the beginning of every challenge, the "Chairman," as my family and I call him, assigns the chefs a secret ingredient that they MUST incorporate into their design. This secret ingredient can be anything, from fish heads, to coffee beans, to deep-sea plants.
Now, I am going to be the "Chairman" in this challenge. Your secret ingredient, that you must incorporate, are fountain(s)!
(Some of you are probably complaining now that there are two "secret ingredients," the fountain and exterior part...Get over it.)
You can either have one large, complex, themed fountain inside/outside your town hall, or incorporate many smaller, yet still complex, fountains into your town-hall (you may also have multiple fountains outside your town-hall). If you choose to make one large fountain, it must portray a story or theme very vividly or strongly. It must also be very large, at least 10 or 15 blocks high and wide (though not necessarily a square).
Just a note, a large fountain, done well (portrays a strong theme/story), will be much more impressive than multiple smaller fountains.
Also, the fountains must contain WATER or LAVA...or both if you can manage that.


-NOTE: World-Edit may NOT BE USED for ANY REASON. Do not pester a Super-Mod or Admin for it, because that will be bans for disqualification. On that note, if you cannot spawn items, do not pester others for items. You are allowed to ask, but must be aware that there is a high chance you will be rejected, especially if the item you want, for your town-hall, is rare. Persisting to ask will result in disqualification.


REWARDS:
-The winner, as chosen by the Super-Mods and Admins in a (closed) vote, will be entitled to their own town.
That town will be cuboided flat and empty, by
me (Retricide), and it will be the size of Genesis. The winner will also be allowed to receive any (reasonable) item to build their town (they will be allowed a certain amount of rare items).
Also, I will assist in making the town by copying and pasting plots, so the winner only has to create one or two rows of plots, and the rest of the plots will be duplicated, per the winner's will.

-Contact a Super-Moderator or Admin in-game to have them cuboid a flat area for you to start your town hall.

If you have any questions, please post them here or ask me (or another Super-Mod+) in-game.

Good luck to everyone!
May the best man (or woman) win!

P.S.: The complexity or organizationof the town hall will be a huge judging point (as well as overall theme, outside area, incorporation and design of fountains, and overall finished effect).A town hall that is very intricate and complex will prove that it was thoroughly planned, and that will be manifest in the score of the Town-Hall.

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that TEAMS are allowed! You may have a team of up to 3 people, if you so desire. All members of the winning team will be entitled to work on their ONE entitled town, together.

Clarification: You are allowed to use spawned items.
You may also ask for spawned items, but there is NO GUARANTEE you will get them.
They are allowed, but not guaranteed.

This will run for one month.
There is no official end date, it could end sooner or later then planned, but the tentative date is06/20/2011 (June 20th, 2011).

If you have completed your Town Hall, please post in the thread "Completed Town-Halls" and set your home to your town-hall, so I have a way to quickly access it, without having to look for it.

Also, if you have finished your town hall, feel free to sketch out a theme/plan/organizational design for your town, and send it to me at eric@mcmd.co
If you decide to do that, you must post in the "Completed Town-Halls" thread saying you are, that way I know to look for your email. I would also recommend finishing your Town-Hall before doing the town design, but if your town design is just so good, I might give you a town just for that.

Also, we will be taking 1st and 2nd places, so we will be adding two more official towns at the end of this contest.

The design is not optional, but it could definitely curry some of my favor for you and your Town-Hall.
