With Week 3 finally coming to a close, we've decided to have a diorama contest to pass the time waiting for the mass extinction results and for Week 4 to be ready to open! You do not need to be a Sagan 4 team member to participate; entries from fans are welcome.
Rules:
- You may only enter one diorama for the contest.
- The diorama must be in color.
- It must depict an ecosystem in week 3 (no week 2 or speculative week 4 depictions).
- The ecosystem must be depicted accurately ie. if it's a forest and there are sufficient flora present in it, it should look like a forest.
- All species depicted must be reasonably accurate to their size and biology. Feel free to ask their creators for anatomical help.
- The diorama must have at least 2 out of 3 of the following: flora, fauna, or microbes. eg, flora and fauna, flora and microbes, fauna and microbes, or all three.
- Unless the given ecosystem has fewer species, a minimum of 5 species must be present in the diorama.
To enter, all you have to do is draw any week 3 ecosystem (listed here) and submit your entry in this thread using this form:
On May 24th, contest submissions will be closed and we will hold a vote.
First Prize: One free flyway use for a species under 1 meter
First, Second, and Third Place: Diorama featured on the overview page for Week 3
Everyone Else: Diorama featured on the wiki page and bot entry for the specific habitat
We look forward to seeing your entries!

End of an Era, by Nergali:
Artist: Nergali
Biome: Ovi Subtropical Beach
Flora: Landfall Grove (deceased), Crystal Gazebo (deceased), Giant Gazebulb (deceased), Ghost Mycostrum spp., Corcraonach spp., Grassterplent spp., Fern Asterplent spp.
Fauna: Filter Chad (deceased)
Microbes: N/A
"A beached Filter Chad lays still along the coast of Ovi Subtropical Beach, its exoskeleton now becoming a home to numerous colonies of Ghost Mycostrums which slowly spread across its surface. Around it are the long dead husks of ancient crystal flora - Landfall Groves, Crystal Gazebos, and a Giant Gazebulb - now overrun in patches of various Corcraonach species. With morning, the scavengers will swarm, but for now all is silent along this coastline, as this time of dying takes its toll on the largest of Sagan IV's lifeforms."
