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.

We can take all the loser sigs and put them against each other, to win the Biggest Loser award, lol.

Nah, I'll throw up a sig or the week or something probably.

We need the numbers to make it happen, if we get as many as we had this last one, then it'll work.

Excellent MC! Is it just for Grand Prixs? As there has been 3 other GFX comps ran by you?

Will the Sig of the Moment(s) winner(s) be put there as well?

Yeah, all competition winners will be put in there, normal sig of the week winners and the sig of the moment winners.

I didn't add the few other ones I made after, because I want it to start fresh from today. I added yours because it was a huge thing, multiple rounds and a huge prize, and it'll be the only one this year of its type, so it needed to be added.

That's fair. But if the next Graphics comp is numbered 4 it'll look off without the other 3? Maybe? I dunno. Starting fresh is good though, as finding all the previous comps would be infuriating :D

Nah, I will start over with them. All competitions will be fresh from here, so that all the winners can be placed in that thread.

Everything will be freshly done because, as you said, going back and trying to find all the winners would just be a pain. The Grand Prix was a once a year thing (that's why it's Grand Prix - 2010), so it was added, and it wasn't done too long ago.

The next person who is put in there will be the winner of the sig of the moment.

Actually I cant. I was just thinking about something I would like to mess with, and I came up with that.

Wish I could be more exact.

This is a pretty large thread, so this probably has been brought up already, but how about PPV competitions? I'm just a new member so I don't know if you guys did do them in the past or not, but it seems like the only competition going on right now is the sig one.

Basically for every new UFC or MMA card you could set up a competition to make a promo poster for it. I find these competitions work better when there are no size restrictions or any other restrictions. You can see some pretty original stuff.

Another thing you guys could do once a month or whatever is a general competition, like create a cd cover for a band, or a new game sleeve for a new game coming out, or anything like that. Again I'm only new here so I don't know if this forum isn't that active, but I hope it is. I'd love to enter some of these comps.

Also, another suggestion would be to add a new sub-forum called something like "Graphics Battles". That could be the forum for all monthly competitions, and as well we could have a challenge thread, where posters can challenge other posters to matches.

I know that later in the year, even in a few months, I'm going to start the MMAF Graphics Grand Prix 2011 like we did last year for 2010. That's going to be sick, cause I have a few ideas of how to make it better and improve it.

However, we have a few months until then. Does anyone have any new ideas for competitions? Keep in mind, you don't have to be on staff to take part in the section, you can create your own graphics comps or create your own tournaments, etc, etc, just make sure there's not already one going.

This section is free roam for everyone to come up with ideas and apply them, just a reminder to have fun and show off your great work. :)

That would be cool Killstarz. Anytime you think of something you can post it in here, or just start it going. We have like 10 active graphics guys here and we all want a piece of action from time to time.

Just remember that there should only be 1 competiton going at a time in most cases.
