    Here are a couple of questions.

    Are members in leadership roles or on the Command Council exempt from participation?

    Is there any quantity requirement; length of song or story, can it be a single picture or comic strip, etc.?

    It seems to me that the more time you put in to this thing, the bigger the chance of winning.
    Like a picture would probably not win over, say, a video. Therefore you also need to have a certain amount of skill in a particular field of entertainment.

    To an extent, yes. But what is more memorable, a B-movie or a Van Gogh painting?

    I guarantee more people know this:

    Than this:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218053/

    So while the perception may be that a more interactive or intriguing visual experience may be preferred, it will be considered on multiple levels.

    Originality, creativity, humor, and other things will be taken into account -- so one medium really has no total advantage over the others.

    If a single picture can fulfill your "creative message" I don't see any reason to exclude it. Same with comic strips, comics are a form of creativity and expression. As for stories I'd personally say short stories would be preferable, so say nothing longer than 1-3 pages (using no smaller than the standard size 10-12 font). Songs, eh ask Onuma or Toljar....I don't do song writing and haven't even sung in the damn church choir for like 10 years. So even my singing voice is gone.

    Default Creativity can be in many forms....

    Hey all - the games we play, the time we commit to them, the people we help and the reasons we help them - make Ironfist a unique family of individuals. I wanted to put forth the challenge to draw on those characteristics and bring them out in a medium that you feel good with. While the medium you use to get your message across is important, it's the story that matters the most.

    So I asked Toljar to put out a new competition to bring out the great things about Ironfist and the brotherhood. So get creative in your own way - can't tell you exactly what to do or how to do it... bring it out in however you can... remember every submission is a represenation of Ironfist and all the things that make it great.

    Good luck to all that participate.

    Trapazoid!!
