Description:
I am a local community member working with a K-8 school principal to develop a custom award for two members of their faculty to be given out each year. The award is called "They Might Be Giants" and it celebrates educators who have been the "shoulders" that younger educators have stood on. Think like a mentor, but more than that. Ultimately the creation from this contest will be 3D Printed and integrated into the final award. Think 6" - 8" high 3D giant. I'm open to ideas, but the attached pictures provides a good references of the giant idea and it supporting people on its shoulders. If you notice the male and female standing on the giant's shoulders in the reference photo you get a sense of them looking into the horizon. Where the Giant has a sense of forward motion. It is the combination of the sense of movement toward the horizon, and the eagerness to look toward the future that I to capture with this 3D element.

The working concept for this award is based on an award presented by the Advertising Hall of Fame called "The Golden Ladder" Award (See attached photo). In place of the golden ladder will be the giant element that this contest is looking to produce. The total height from the foot of the giant, to the top of the tallest head of the person standing on the giant's shoulders will be no more than 8" high
Wants:
When evaluating submissions emphasis will be placed on

1. Overall feeling - does the image naturally capture the sense of movement and looking forward

2. Proportion - Is the 3D element balanced. Does it look proportionally correct

3. Attraction / captivation - does the image inspire / captivate. It will not be possible, though it will lack fine detail
Don't Wants:
1. The giant to be a particular sex per say. The giant in reality represents either a male or female educator
2. The giant to be scary. It should "look the part" so that someone looking at it clearly sees "this is a giant" and gets the message that this is a giant.
3. Abstract symbols. It should be clear by the 3D element what the story is. It should not be abstract and require explaination
Ask for Sample:
Samples are welcome and encouraged. There is no explicit software constraint, but the selected piece of work must be delivered in at least one of the following formats: .stp,. step; .sldprt; .stl; .xt, .x_b; .ipt; .edxml, .catpart; .prt; .sat
Software:
  1. NONE (See Notes In Sample)

Russian Doll Maze Variant
Hello Designers! I am looking for a variant of the "Russian Doll Maze Puzzle" on Thingiverse. Here's a little bit about the project: I run a small home business in Utah that provides 3D printing services for the local area. Lately, we've been donating our extra machine time to making these puzzles for charity (Anti-boredom bags for children in hospital waiting rooms.) They've been a massive hit among the kids, however we've been hearing that the locking mechanism is 'unsnapping' over time while the puzzle is assembled, making them inoperable. We'd like to remedy that for the future! A few required design change specifications: 1. Cylindrical instead of Octagonal 2. The maze "Locking" mechanism needs a fix. Currently, it snaps "Up" into position, however the clicking mechanism is small and wears down, resulting in older puzzles 'locking' inside because they've come undone. We're looking for innovative solutions to solve this issue (potentially rotating sideways at the end, instead of up, to add another safety mechanic) 3. Thick bottom and outer wall for embossing names, if chosen. Needs to be strong enough for children to not break with regular usage. 4. Difficulty of maze appropriate to 8 and up age levels. Dimensions overall approximately 4" height, 2 1/2" round. 1/8" to 5/16" inner wall construction (solid).
