upcoming QCDN contest ideas?

Just like this month with the Quote of the Year 2005, Thread of the Year 2005, and QCDN Logo contest, I plan to run monthly contests.

I am currently either already in contact, or plan to get in touch with several potential sponsors. I also have already gotten plenty of rejections from companies I though would make great sponsors. It's a bit tricky to get free stuff when you don't have a whole lot to offer in return. ;)

Anyway, what kind of contests would you like to see this year?

Here is what I do and don't want to do:
I don't want to create additional quote or thread contests (i.e. Best General Discussion post of May 2006 or some such).
I do want to run contests that are based on user votes, meaning I don't want to be in the position of having to make a decision as to who wins and who doesn't.
I do want to provide a grand prize and two runners up or some such.
I do want to continue with the current scheme, meaning no contest runs longer than one months, including voting.

The voting part can probably be more flexible, perhaps 3 weeks of entries, and one week of voting, instead of the current 2 and 2.

Discuss.

P.S.: Screenshot contest would work, but it would have to be themed somehow (i.e. recreation of a movie scene or some such).
 
Tarutaru dance contest. Submit videos...couple min maximum length or somthing...that woould be awsome.
 
How would that work? Do players have the ability to control the dance moves, or influence the dance in any other way if there are no dance moves?
 
@_@ you havent seen tarutaru's dance???

They use like /emotes with just the motions like /joy motion or /cheer motion and a bunch of others. Ive seen some really complex ones before that are funny as hell, and they are really funny when its like two of em doing a dance off.

Have we not previously stated that I fail at life?
 
LOL
A user PMed me a suggestion to do a survivor-style "You are voted off QCDN!" thingy. 1st place gets banned for a month, second place for a week, 3rd for 3 days. What fun that would be!
 
wouldnt that be unfair to pere? lol
 
/vote for Sculli!

XD
 
QCDN memeber of the Month?

I aint posting pictures of my member.... *cough*
 
You could do something like.. a video contest. I love making videos using FF, and I'm sure a lot of people want to dabble in something but never have the drive to. It could be a lot of fun. Of course, Chaysm would win since he has editing software that makes baby jesus cry.. but it would still be fun!

Or a fan-fiction contest. Or an art contest. Best sig contest. Best QCDN linkshell name..

This has my vote 100%!
 
Who can craft the rarelest HQ item or just normal HQ item,

or contest about who lie the most (hehe you know what I mean)

or FFXI Talent show? XD
 
Or what about some in-game events? I think a giant lvl 1 race from city to city would be beautiful, or something along those sorts. Our LS has done a few, but a 300 player race would be hi-larious
 
I propose a "screenshot" of the month. Although it may not last long, but maybe a screenshot with scenery or limited people (say, 1-5) and a caption ... ? Like, maybe different categories:

1. Scenic. Everyone who particpates must take a screenshot of something very beautiful or scenic. Although there may be duplicate entries, 99% of the time no 2 screenshot can be the same due to the angles and distance that it can be taken. So, judging factors might include the time it was taken, or the weather, and the angle/distance. Whichever looks the nicest really.
2. Caption. Someone proposes a "caption" (may it be a phrase, a saying, or a quote, etc) and we must all submit one screenshot which will best fit the caption. This category should contain people -if- needed.

Alyada who proposed the video contest. While it may be a good idea, I reckon limits must be set up to prevent too big of a video to be made. Art is another good thing. Not many people can draw (I sure can't) so it would be neat to submit something based on an announced subject/topic.

I like the idea of a fanfiction contest, but, does one have to submit a short story, one big story, or a series of stories?
 
Most helpful to the community.
 
The sreenshot thing is very accesable to many users so I think that would be a great one, I personaly have no idea how to make videos. Doesn't it violate some user agreements? I wouldn't want that etting traced back to me.
