IRONFIST official contest Round:1

[toljar]

IRONFIST is hosting a new contest with Trapazoid who will be sponsoring it! Trapazoid has offered a great prize for the IRONFIST community members, he has been around for a very long time and decided he would like to give back to all his brothers and sisters.

This contest is going to be of the creative side, anyone is able to take part as long as you are a member of IRONFIST in good standing (Sorry to allied members, a contest in the future may include your creative abilities.). What we are looking for is something that shows what IRONFIST means to you and you can express it any way you want. A few ideas: Story, Graphic, Video, Animation, Cartoon, Drawing, Song, Script or whatever else floats your creative boat. Whatever you decided it NEEDS TO BE IRONFIST RELATED.

The prizes that you are engaged for in the contest are listed below.

(1)- Collectors edition of Diablo 3 - For the first prize winner
(1)- Cardboard life size cut out of R2-D2 - For the second place winner

If you have questions please contact myself or any other member of the CC. Thanks and good luck with your creative side!

No end date yet.

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.?

[MortiZ]

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.
Correct me if I'm wrong

[Onuma]

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

I guarantee more people know this:

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.

[MortiZ]

You sure put that in a new perspective .

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.

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!!
