It's called "restricted" because the size limit forces you to be creative within the restrictions imposed by the size category, similar to the vignette / bignette category.
Allowing "oversized" entries in the restricted category then puts the smaller builds at a disadvantage, potentially.
The idea behind the sizes is to force you to be creative, and to allow anyone to compete, regardless of collection size or available build time. If you don't have the parts for an unrestricted, then the restricted category was designed specifically for your situation. 😊

I think there's a certain sense to allowing restricted entries up to 48x48 - there's no extra points for the builder and it removes the no mans land separating the categories.

LOREOS / UNRESTRICTED / 'The Industrious Motherland': Loreesi Spice Plantation. On the southern 'spice' coast of Loreos, outside the town of Artinium, two recently arrived Lenfel expatriates have been granted a modest spice plantation. Here Xander of Artinium, can be seen visiting Davos and Alara of Lenfald, who arrived several months ago seeking refuge. As Davos had saved Xander's life during the war against the evil Queen, he was more than happy to grant his old friend a small holding on the outskirts of town. Davos lost no time in hanging up his sword and armour, and with the help of former CRASH games competitor Alara, established a spice plantation, one of many in the area. Loreos is famous for its spice industry, indeed spices are the main commodity travelling north through the caravan routes through the desert. As the trio relax on the balcony, fanned by one of Xander's servants, a Loreesi camel patrol rides past, while workers continue to harvest the first of the chillies produced by the estate. A worker is laying out previously picked chillies for drying on the roof. More pictures in the flickr album here.

Okay, I'm planing on starting my first entry today. I have a slight question which is just to double check since I'm pretty sure: but can I make an all-LEGO scene and yet enter it into one of the other categories? Assuming it fits one of the three size requirements, naturally.

Assuming it fits one of the three size requirements, naturally. Yep, I don't see any issue with that. I'd recommend including an 'overview' shot to establish the size. Obviously you can only enter it in one category, so either one of the sized categories or the bonus category.

Just a thought - I'm currently working on an unrestricted battle in the ruins, but I might turn it into an unrestricted rescue the prisoners. If it ends up being both, what would I enter it as, and is that allowed?

You'd need to pick one. Whichever category you think it fits best.

Restricted Battle at the Ruins coming soon... And by soon I apparently meant two weeks. But it's done now and I should get pictures taken and uploaded in the next couple days.

Hey Everyone, with just over 2 weeks left, how is everyone tracking? It's been very quiet around here - hopefully because everyone is busy building their fantastic entries!

Unfortunately, I've only got one in the works, since it's an all LEGO scene of unrestricted size, so it took more out of me than I expected.. but if I'm quick I might get more entries in after this one, which is very nearly done!

I've got a Bignette done, and a couple more entries in the works, (though it may be a crunch to get three more finished).

I've got an unres. done that needs to be photographed, a restricted I'm working on, and a bignette in my head. Unfortunately, I may not finish all 3, since I have about 2 weeks to build for BFVA (which I may or may not have started ).
