edited February 2011 in Sam & Max
I was thinking about it the other day, and I'm wondering.. how would the people here on the happy forums feel about this? It's a pretty crazy idea, but I think it would be pretty cool as well 8D What do you guys think? Comments would be greatly appreciated. ^^

    Yeah- especially a themed contest. But who would judge?

    Just wondering what the general structure would be - would we be pitching this to Telltale, or would we keep this forum-based?

    Either way, I'm all for it. Sounds like fun. :D

    I'd enter and very very likely lose. But I'd still enter.

    Hmm.. I was thinking that we should just keep it just amongst the fans, but if we seriously pitched this to telltale, that would be awesome. 8D

    Hmm.. I don't know, maybe someone who offered to judge or myself. Who knows! ^^ But I don't think I'd be able to do a contest during school unfortunately, maybe the summer. 8D

    They have the Halloween Fan Art contest, so, we better keep it among the fans.

    We first need to find donations for the contest. I'll see what I can donate by myself.

    If you want, the TelltaleGames-FC deviantart group could host the contest

    :eek: That would seriously be awesome. I was actually thinking of the Sam and Max FC on Deviantart hosting it. It would be great!

    Fanart contests? Why, bring 'em on!

    Official contests are a bit of a problem. After all, if they just raffle the prices off among all participants, all the effort going into great art feels a bit wasted. On the other hand, if only the "best" pieces actually win, the prices will go to the same persons over and over!

    It can be stipulated that once you win a contest you can't enter again.

    Maybe they can judge afterwards? Be involved in some way? Like, prizes, or requests for winners?

    I'm still thinking about donations. If the Telltale Fan Club at DeviantArt is going to host it, a year subscription will be fine? Or something from the Telltale Store?

    If you're looking for some prize donations, I have another copy of the Sam & Max cartoon boxset. :)

    Hayley, you're not supposed to give out prizes. You're supposed to win the effing contest!!! :D

    Who's running this contest anyway? Because I can donate prizes, but I forgot to ask that!

    Oh, my bad Ginny. ^^; I'll probably run the contest, and we'll probably have a panel of three judges. If you could donate prizes, that would be awesome. I remember earlier in this forum you mentioned about how a year subscription would be good, the contest being hosted on Deviantart's TellTale and Sam and Max fan clubs. Things have been super busy, but I'm about to get some down time very soon. I'm going to post another thread here in the S&M general discussion forum, and then I'll probably post up judge spots offerings, prize donations, and the theme. Thank you so much, you really are a big help!

    Hey,

    for those who are interested in the fan art contest, I posted another thread relative to this.

    It has more details about the fan art contest, and also how to get into a judging position as well as donate. Please look if you want to participate!
