Competition of the Month - June

[Avron the S'wit]

Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!
It's back!

These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two!

The basic rules are as follows:

Spoiler:

» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!

» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a spoiler when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask!

» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety!

» All members are welcome to join, including moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too!

To celebrate the return of the CotM, we’re going to have an open competition! Since we have so many talented members, we’re going to have a free-for-all. You can submit a piece of art, a screenshot, a song, a short story, a poem, a cake, a sock puppet – the possibilities are truly endless! Your theme? The day in the life of a Daedric Prince. You can choose your favorite Daedra and be as silly, serious, or creative as you want demonstrating their day.

The winners in the competition will receive a $35 gift certificate to ThinkGeek.com. Our runner(s) up will receive a free code for the Humble Bundle, which includes a few games and soundtracks!


Our schedule for the June event is as follows:
June 5 – June 24: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
June 25 – June 29: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
June 30: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, Avron the S’wit, and therefore will run according to GMT -5/Eastern Standard Time. (Click here if you’re unsure when, exactly, that is!)

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

As an aside, if anyone would like to join the street team to help plan and set up the CotM, please send me a PM or visit my wiki talkpage. Until then, have fun and good luck!

(This fun event is hosted by yours truly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them within this thread or by sending me a PM by selecting the appropriate button below my signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? Head over to the ideas thread and join in on the discussion!)

[MARS]

Actual prizes. Oh my. Think, brain, think!

[Deandra]

Oooh, oooh, I have an idea! Maybe. If I somehow get a ton of extra time. Hmm...

[The-Shadow-One]

Brain, activate story procedure 10 gamma beta..

[Stormborn]

I think I shall write a quick musical, just got to pick a musical that I can steal the plot and songs from, (strokes chin) 7 brides for 7 brothers hmm...

Apparently, Howard Keel is dead and without him so is my idea.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Good thing I took those unicycle training courses and picked up that How to Train your Monkey to Dance handbook.

Can't wait to see the video of that - Day in the life of a Daedra, through the medium of interprutive dance and unicycling. Avron can close the competition now. Sliding off topic for a second, my boss brought his wife a unicycle as a valentines gift one year.

[The Raven]

I just got a slightly awful idea but better than nothing.

[Avron the S'wit]

No ideas are awful around these parts! Bring them all forward!

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Mine is already done, I'm just putting the finishing touches on it.

Showoff :P

I'm still trying to worki in Avron's hooker boots.

Challenge accepted, Avron.

[Iamgoofball]

So, I MIGHT be able to use GMOD to do this.

Would Garry's Mod Machinima be an acceptable form of entry?

[Avron the S'wit]

Goofball: As long as it is TES themed...yes.

Stormborn: I'll give you a cookie if you manage that!

[Musicman247]

I have no idea what I would do for this challenge.

[MARS]

Come on, you're the Musicman. I started rhyming for a silly little song before I even read your post just because I saw your name.

[Musicman247]

I'll probably try and sculpt something in clay...

[MARS]

:c

I was looking forward to your Daedric dirge.

(Something just flew over my head. I am confident it's a Musicman joke)

[Avron the S'wit]

I don't suppose anyone is making anything? I do love keeping prizes to myself though!

[Musicman247]

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I COMPLETELY FORGOT!!!

I'm making a Daedric Prince rock song. I'll have it posted by Sunday

[Deandra]

I forgot about this, too!

Hoo, boy. Not much time left.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Once there was an ugly barnacle mudcrab, and he was so ugly that everyone died. The end.

Umm...

Your theme? The day in the life of a Daedric Prince.

[Iamgoofball]

Well, we now know that Arch-Mage Matt doesn't read instructions.

[Deandra]

Apparently Matt's favorite Prince is Namira.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Mudcrabia, the Daedric Prince of Mudcrabs.
