Well in order to expand our contests beyond only having signature competitions I'm constantly on the look out for possible contest ideas, so I figure what better way to find them than to ask you guys for your thoughts.

I'll be leaving this thread up so any time you see a great idea feel free to post a link or to make suggestions of your own.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I know a few games and I think that would be pretty fun to do.

I'm up for it, for sure.

Also, the former SOTW winner picking the theme is a good idea, D.P.

EDIT - Can we make it any game? I'm really not updated in games or anything, so I won't really know what games came out this year.

Geesh this thread is dead.

Anyhow how about a contest as "If <Insert Fighter Name Here> were in <Insert Name of Movie Here>." So if say someone photoshops a famous scene in a movie but has a fighter as the main actor. Ie Rob Emerson in Passion of the Christ but with Rob Emerson on the cross!

Nice, so there's 1.

If we can get say.. 4 people in, then I'll start one up. I'm sure HoGH will sign up, so let's just assume 2.

If we can get 4+ people, I'll put on 500k creds for the winner. I'd like to have more than 4, and if we can get up to 6 people I'll put in 1 mill for the winner.

Sweet.

So, let's see if Toxic wants in, and if he does, then we just need 1 more.

Maybe Spoken will want in, I know he started photoshop a while ago. If you guys know anyone on the forum who wants in, send them a PM and see if they want in.

This week's competiton is coming to an end.

Instead of only me deciding the competitons, I'd like to get some feedback from you guy, since you're the ones competing, as to what you'd like in next weeks competition.

Please give a type (sig, poster, photo maniuplation, etc) and theme (games, mma, tv, sports, etc) if you want to help make it so each competition everyone has an interest in.

My idea for the next competition is a photo manipulation, take 1 photo, nature themed, and then maniuplate/tweak/twist it. Everyone would use the same photo, of course.

I'm thinking about doing two competitions.

A Sig of the Week competition, and another one for things like posters, photo manips, etc.

I just feel that the week goes by so slowwwww, and that a sig of the week will make things more fun.

So, we'd have both the "MMAF Graphics competition" and the "MMAF sig of the week" competition.

Make the Graphics competition 2 weeks long, things like photo manips, posters, etc, the more difficult ones, and would have a bigger prize.

Then to the Sig of the Week, every week, for a smaller prize but still something to do and look forward to.

What do you guys think?

Sounds a plan. I prefer sig format anyway. :thumb02:

Two weeks might be a bit long, yeah.

I'm trying to think of how to plan it out to get more action going in the grphics section. A competition per week is nice, but if you finish your work the first few days, you're just sort of sitting around twiddling your thumbs.

Maybe do a Sig of the Week, and Graphics competition, both lasting 1 week. A week is quite a long time to wait for 1 competition when a lot of guys get their work done the first few days.

Does anyone have any ideas?

That's actually a pretty good idea.

We did that with debating a long time ago, where there were team leaders and all that. It really didn't work that well, at all, though.

I think we'd also need a few more graphics guys around the forum. I'll keep that in mind though, cause it's definitely interesting.

All of the ideas above make me happy. It could be like... an ultimate fighter type thing? If we can manage enough. With the 'coaches' facing off at the end?

I think I'm going to get a tournament going. I'm going to spend the next few days figuring one out.

This is the basics of how I see it going down:

We will sign everyone up who wants to join in. From there, I will randomly pick two people to make a sig (all of them will be sigs for the first tournament, unless other ideas show up from you guys) and they will compete, the winner moves on to the next level. We keep doing 1 vs 1, with winners facing each other, until the final 2 guys are left. They will then face off with each other, to obtain the Champion (or whatever I end up calling it) title.

The winner gets a belt they wear in their sig, as well as a big cash prize. Will do this every so often, like once a month?

Give me some feedback, guys.
