A conteset

Post by Lord Vulkan »

I think a painting or conversion contest would be nice thing to have. We can add a new forum for it.. And can vote on the winner.

In fact we can do multiple contest.

A conversion
A Painting
And a contest for each model even?

The only problem with contests like this is that they can require a demanding level of logistics and commitment to run very often. It would have to be a 'special event' contest to be practical so a new forum wouldn't really be justified.

I'm not shooting you down :D It is a good idea, but it's too demanding to hold contests like this too often so having one for a special event is usually the best opportunity. You could always run one of your own in the Meadow of Arts like Ryikko's 300pt Modelling Club

Also note that the few but strong Council members are planning a contest along these lines.

With my admin powers, I don't need to flip the coin. I can get a pretty decent geographical pin-point of your location, using the IP and hostmask with which your above post was posted.

He will. I'll put word around the shop quietly if it happens.

I have proposed some plans for a Contest.

Is there room on our front page for a Model of the Month picture?

We don't have a front page. If we did, it would be possible :)
But we can let the top three get a special LEAF place if they give us enough pics and write a few paragraphs on how they did the model.
