Is there any size limitation for this contest, some one said it had to stay in the 18" cube the whole contest, can’t find it anywhere?
Yes there is. Take a look at the rules here.
Specifically you should look at rules:
<R4> on page 25
<SG3> on page 13
<SG10> on page 15
as well as the relevant terms in the Game Definitions section starting on page 5.
