After the conclusion of the Chibi Main RPG Drawing Contest, I was wondering what other contests I should hold. Surely, there's the 2005 Chibi Celebration Art Contest, but that runs til June, and thats in a few months time.
Anyone have any suggestions for a fun contest?
For the past 3-4 contests, they have been super-deformed/Chibi drawings, due to the fact this site is based on chibis..
I thought maybe for a change I held something other than chibis, cause not everyone can draw chibis, and have other talents.
Of course, it has to be related to one of the following: -Sailormoon -General Anime -Chibi Land site -Chibi Forum
Throw some ideas ^_^

Just a friendly suggestion, How about some poetry competition about each members favourite anime/character. It would be really creative.

I guess we're coming from the writing area arent we? ^_^ I guess thats a possibility, since Ive never run something like that... Any other suggestions, feel free to share

I would suggest having a writing thing just for fun rather then a competition, from what I've seen writing is very hard to judge and basically the person with the longest entry ends up winning, even if it was actually unread ^^; Least from my limited experience.
Well here's my suggestions:
Forum mascot, can be 'chibi-fied' afterwards to suit theme more
Manga cover featuring forum members.
Favourite scene from RPG
Draw yourself taking over the world. (okay that one's only because I did one before <.<)

I think a writting contest would be fun. Add a missing episode to your favorite anime.
A mascot for the forum would be a nice touch, and then it can change during the seasons, that way people can identify something with the forum rather then just 'chibi' people.

Well you are to do a writing contest I would suggest imposing fair strict guidelines like a word limit and have a standardised style of writing to be used like poen stanzas or a script format etc. Otherwise it become way to broad and open to personal preferances. For instance I care little for poetry but I quite like reading scripts so it's already become bias when I vote.

lol yeah I agree, Blox. But I am the opposite, I adore reading and writing poetry, but long prose (unless it engages me from the start, as I do love a good novel) will put me off... but then, I guess that it what a writing competition is about... who can engage a reader more...

Ive seen these type of comps before.. the variety of entries are just so broad- cause the Mascot.. could be anything. eh? No one knows what everyone else looks like.. XD hehe... something like this would be cool.. but it'll also be quite hard to do (again, another drawing contest)- It'll probably only be limited to the RPG Players themselves, since the others dont read it (correct me if Im wrong) Do you still have the entry? I wanna see. A problem with this is that not everyone may have seen the anime.. and it will be very biased, as some anime could be someone's fav.. and on the other hand, some might not even read a fic from a anime they dislike. My opinion anyway.

Well that's kind of the idea to just get a bucket of characters and pick one that suits/looks cool. <.< Imgination based off names then ^^; I kinda remeber what you looked like...was a girl..with hair..and other stuff..yeah... *memory not good* As a matter of fact, yes. Cept it wasn't really a contest just a whacky theme gallery so I just did a cheap, cheap pen sketchy ^^; www.geocities.com/ugzor/Domination.jpgThis is probably as close to a 'self-portait' I've ever done XD If I had red eyes I might looks like that <.< Sounds like all my suggestions have been denied >.< well nothing new there though XD

I have these images in my head of what u guys look like.. well.. .. some of you.. at least. And yes.. I am a girl.. thank goodness XD Yes.. I have hair.. >.>.. but umm.. I cant remember much, (if any) of you.. You are a guy.. with black hair.. wearing black clothes... but that was.. a long time ago! By the way, thats a funny self portrait pic thingy XD

mm..how about using some of the ideas suggested and get the contest up and running? I think it would be good to have a few contests running at the same time. I'm not particularly the writing type (my vocab is quite limited) but I might give it a go. I think another drawing one would be nice too...Seeing all the cool artwork recently posted from ChibiJen and that awesome looking DS artwork..RPG related one might be nice..

Hehe yeah I was saying the otherday I might be inclined to draw more random stuff if it was for a contest. Still I dunno if there's enough clientel as such to warrant multiple contests.

Still I dunno if there's enough clientel as such to warrant multiple contests. hehee.. itd be likely the same people entering the different contests XD Though leaving a few options for people is not a bad idea... I'm thinking of running a RPG drawing contest, but I have yet to figure out the theme for it... I was thinking along the lines of giving a few lines from a song lyric or something, and for you to incorporate it in the image... but yeh.. maybe something more simple..

Can't you just have like a free for all thing? From my experience the less requirements you have the more people are likely to enter since it requires less thinking. Should be noted artist types are usually lazy and dumb ;P
