NEXT CONTEST!?!?!?!?!

I believe we should have a "prize-less" contest, but the winner gets a little trophy by his name! And the theme should be City mixes with Star Wars, what do you guys think? :

No, I like prizes. I know this is a Star Wars forum, but what if we had a contest from a different theme? I'd enter that contest.

Yeah, we could have a build a city street contest! Or, every two months a member could host a small contest, donating a prize, then every one can vote for the winner!

How about a mix of city and star wars. Like what if the clones went on little vacation to New York city. What would happen? IDK, just through out a idea. :

-Christmas Star Wars contest
-Star Wars maxifig contest

I love the idea of mixing SW with a Holiday. :}

It's been done on Eurobricks. Here's a link;
CLICK ME!!!!1!!

I know it's been done but that doesn't mean we can't do it.

I know that, but it's not good practice (plus it's just plain tacky) to copy another forum's contest.

Perhaps. But they also say that imitation is the best form of flattery .

If we used my idea for the layout I'll host the first one .

Maybe we could have a contest for the best sharpied clone trooper, where the winner wins every other entries' entry...

No-one would enter that unless they're sure they could win...

Well, isn't that how all contests are? You only enter if you think you have a chance to win....

Well, I do it for the fun. I try to enter every contest (except minifig contests )I hear about to practice building, but normally don't have the time. :(

This goes more to the methodology of the contest rather than the actual content, but what do you guys think about doing a completely anonymous contest? For example, everyone emails the photos of their entry to a staff member who isn't participating in the contest, and on the day the voting begins, the staff member posts all the pictures at once and starts a poll. Everyone would have to keep what they built a secret, but you'd take out any element of popularity - people would only be able to vote on the entry they liked, not because they're friends with the person or whatever . What do you guys think?

P.S. - I kinda think that a contest where the winner takes all the entries is kind of an interesting idea - it would have to be something small scale, of course, but it might be kinda fun. It would really up the ante...

That is a good idea, 8Ball. That would be really cool!

Well, I was thinking we could do a 'behind the scenes' kinda thing for a clone? I don't know just a thought.

So, have we made a decision? I think we should go with 8Ball's idea.

Which of 8Ball's ideas are you referring to? The anonymous contest, or the idea in which the winner wins each other entries' submission?

His anonymous contest idea. the other one isn't too great, IMO.

I personally think that a "Custom Clone" contest would be spectacular. Prize.... Eh, maybe a little arms shop gun or so. Less than 5 dollars.

^I think this was a pre-Xmas discussion since there is currently a multi-forum contest in progress.

But looking to the future say April or May customs minifigure contest would be cool. You sponsoring it?

No rook, the only reason I WANT to enter the contest is to show off my customs. I suck at MOCs at theCABG so I can never be a guildie ( Or whatever it's called). I really want to actually show my customs on a site where people actually comment on it. But sadly, my MOCs suck.
