Bringing the Community Together Contest!

Recommended Posts

As the days go by, I started to realize something that was happening to the forum.

We have all been seeing it for quite a while.

 

Many of us have separated from the community, and left the forum desolate.

The welcoming plaza has been empty, and the users of the forum have been drifting apart.

 

Well, Chaotic Discord and I got together, and thought out a project to bring the community together once more!

And what better way, than with a contest!

 

And we even have prizes for the winners of this contest!

What is the contest about, you may ask?

Well, here we go!

____________________________________________________________________________________

 

Contest Information

 

First of all, this contest will be held in tiers. Each week, we will have a different section of our contest to run.

The last few weeks shall be a surprise as we go along, so stay tuned!

For our first week, the contest shall be:

  • Create any fan-art in celebration of Mlpforum's birthday!
The next tiers shall become available as time goes by!

Rules below:

Judging shall be held by who else; The community itself!

 

Each tier shall last for a week, and voting shall go on for the week afterwords.

 

For each tier of contest, voting shall be held by the best piece. The winner of each tier shall receive a prize by our prestigious forum artist and vector artist!

Tiers

  • Fanart contest, Deadline: Wendsday, October 8th

Hopefully, this contest kicks off and brings the community together.

Chaotic Discord and I would love it if this works!

 

And while you're working on the contest, you should head to the Welcoming Plaza and welcome the new bronies to the site, and refer them to the contest!

The more the merrier!

 

Let's show the world how Mlpforums is the nicest place around, with the best community!

 

And remember you guys:

 

Have fun!

Aw, I think this is an art contest and not really a bring-community-bonding-together contest, but, ah, whatever XD

I might try, though I definitely won't win, my art skills are about as good as my grandma's.

Welcoming Plaza certainly did/does have a decrease in activity from what it used to be. I do think some people have tried to better their efforts in posting more in there after I and others brought it up, because lots of welcomes per topic is a huge asset to ensuring regulars, but it's still nothing like it used to be. This looks like a great idea, and I'm glad I could be your yes man of help in discussing things.

 

Can't wait to see how this turns out, what kind of art pieces are created, and how other people take this idea and roll with it. With any luck this'll turn out to be something great :3 Good luck to everyone~

We haven't even dove into the other tiers yet, silly head.

This is only the first tier!

 

Art isn't the only thing we shall be doing!

This sounds really fun to do and I'd love to put together an image in photoshop! Though I think it's really going to be a tough competetion since there are a lot of artists here that are better than me. Though it has been very slow lately with it seeming like there's no active energy going on, even if it is just a computer screen.

Is there a set date for the first tier? Such information would prove useful for those planning to participate in the contest.

Curses, the only thing I can't do draw... Unless it's with cut up bodies. To bad it isn't.

Anyways, nice idea, i'll make sure to participate when there's something i can actually do.

I personally love this idea. Though I will not be participating, I like how you guys are trying to bring the community together, hopefully this will influence other acts of kindness for the forums :)

cool idea :) i will not be participating, since i don't draw fan art. and i don't think it really applies to anyone except fan art artists, but it's a really cool idea - i love contests! and am looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

You guys. It's not JUST a fanart contest. It's only the first tier. Lolfine, I'll give an example of another tier. Not in any order, but another tier is anything music. Such as, making music.

 

It has been 5 days now... and I still have no submissions.

 

Any ideas on how I can get this project going?

 

There was a lot of buzz when I posted this... but that's it ;-;

I might draw something, but, I would have to get better. I don't know how this will bring everybody together. I just am wondering if we should do something else. We should all have paid tickets to BronyCon, jk. But, I, uh, um, well I don't know what to do. I think it would be fun if we had like a get together at like a paintball place or Starbucks and have a skype group chat for the entire day.
