The GDMC AI settlement generation challenge is a PCG competition about producing an algorithm that can create an interesting Minecraft settlement for a given map. This paper contains a collection of written experiences with this competition, by participants, judges, organizers and advisors. We asked people to reflect both on the artifacts themselves, and on the competition in general. The aim of this paper is to offer a shareable and edited collection of experiences and qualitative feedback - which seem to contain a lot of insights on PCG and computational creativity, but would otherwise be lost once the output of the competition is reduced to scalar performance values. We reflect upon some organizational issues for AI competitions, and discuss the future of the GDMC competition.
