I was thinking it would be fun to have a contest for the Creative Stuff board.

Anyone have any thoughts on that??

I was really thinking a more general contest, so everyone who had a creative side could join in...

Well, since drawing has many limitations, such as quality of your scanner.

You may not want to here my thoughts, since I messed up the last few with my adolescent behaviour, however a writing contest would put the wise and more apt at writing in the forefront, blade, not mentioning any names. I still think we should hash this over a bit, I suggest a poem contest coupled with a creation you already have. This would encourage members to look deep into their greatest creation and then simply write a cool poem to go along with it.

BTW, that wasn't my idea, it was a taken from what I just read, I just did the math.

How kind to not mention any names. =P Unless, that literally was directed at me, in which case it's probably about my idea in general, and I totally misunderstood that part there. xD

Anyway; a poem contest linked to a creation might work; but what about those who don't have any creations on here, or they were lost at some point or another, for some reason?

Oh well, I was just poking fun at the fact that you are indeed a great writer and would have an obvious advantage over us if that was the sole intent of the contest

My main goal in this was to get ALL types of creative works a chance at the same time.
A plain old "Lets get creative" contest.
Anything that fit in the creative corner would qualify.
I do not understand the objections to this.

MsRR: I don't have any real objections; but the thing there might be that it's too broad of a focus for a contest; I mean, you could have drawing, painting, building, writing, song creating, video making, poems; all at once... The only thing that may have made Lionytai go 'hmm...' about it, is that without any themes to it at all, it might not be obvious what to enter. Even if it doesn't seem like that would be a problem to others. Wink

We could have a theme of sorts.. I guess.. but I WANT it to be broad.

It's not hard for me; I was just expressing my translation of what Lionytai meant; which he actually backed up in that post. =P

If I'm guessing correctly, I'm thinking the reasoning behind Lionytai's thoughts, is that such a wide limit of 'please me', means that any and all judges who want to judge it, would be divided, unless some utterly spectacular creation was submitted that got every single judge to agree on what should win. That could be avoided if it used a 'voting' process for the judges similar to some 'keep or let go' situations on reality shows, of course.

Again, none of this is my opinion. Would I like a writing contest? Sure; I'm not good at drawing, and I'll admit that; I can't write songs(... Or, well, maybe more 'I can't think of ways to finish songs'), MOCs are possible, but would not have any colour scheme at all; and so on, so written stuff would ironically be my only way of keeping up with awesome photoshoppers or the like.(Especially when you consider I once hated to write stuff, long before I joined forums. =P) However; does that mean I want to be selfish and have one particular entry limitation because of that? No; because I want the challenge; and in a way, this would allow that to happen.

One thing I would consider though... This is an untested idea, but has the potential to be very cool...

What about a Choose Your Own Adventure? Might not truly work, as everyone would be able to easily see the entire storyline without having to actually choose, and there'd be a lot of in-topic links; but it might be interesting. And if not as a contest, as an actual event of sorts, since we haven't had anything big happen recently, and it hasn't even been attempted on here before.

Both of you have sound points. A broad contest with a theme allows many people to enter in a variety of ways (written, drawn, modeled etc), however it will be a bit harder to judge, because of how different the entries can be.
That being said, I think a broad ranged contest in the Creative Board area is fair game for everyone, and allows more people to enter.

An obvious idea would be a Valentine's contest based around Valentine's Day / Love. Anything that fits into this category is fair game, in any sort of creative entry (love poem, sculpture, MOC, drawing, song etc).
