This is The Contest-Contest!
Contestants in this contest will pitch ideas for a contest. At the end of the submission period I will select my favorite contest. The contestant who submitted the winning contest will win this contest and the prize money. I will then run the winning contest as a new contest.
Doesn’t that sound awesome?!
Contest ideas may be submitted from now until 11:59 PM Hawaii Time on Thursday July 25th.
If you have questions about something please ask, if it is not addressed in the following list of conditions and specifications. And if you are hyper-protective of your ideas, be sure to read the fine print.
There are no criteria for what submissions must entail, they can be simple contests or complex contests, whatever you can think of, so get your ideas in! I’m excited to see what you all come up with.
- Ideas are to be posted publicly in this thread, not mailed.
- Contestants are allowed to draw inspiration from previously submitted contest ideas for their own idea. However, reposting a previous submission with minimal changes is not permitted. Each submission must be substantially distinct.
- Contestants may submit more than one contest idea, however only one idea may be submitted per post.
By submitting a contest idea you agree to waive all rights to idea possession. The idea you submit becomes public domain for any citizen of the ToO. The winning idea is reserved to bookworm to run, but if you, or anyone else, is inspired by one or more of the other ideas submitted they are free to run that contest themselves without needing to obtain permission. (Though it would be courteous to obtain it anyway.) However regardless of permissions requested or granted, if someone does decide to run a contest submitted by someone else, the creator of the original idea is to be given credit at an appropriate place during the run of that contest.
