hi thanks so much for accepting my dessert town xx

Hey guys, just popped by to check how the group was going when i saw your latest journal which upset me greatly
SO i came up with a plan for you

---

Well, from what ive seen (both through being part of the ShaprenedEdge Team and just through being a member) I have noticed that there are certain genres of the community that often feel neglected, because contest categories are not wide enough to encompass them.

Them issue then becomes when you create a contest for them, the rest of the community feels left out, because they cant participate.
Here is what i propose:

From looking at the results of the two polls that have been posted recently: namely the favourite holiday and what do you want to see?
I have noticed that the holiday people like most is Christmas and the Holiday people like least is thanks giving. This gives way to one of humanities moral dillemas, we are all to ready to accept gifts (Christmas) but are hesitant to give back (thanks giving).

Making these two observations got me thinking. Lets give back while including all areas of the community.

So I suggest creating a double barrelled contest. This contest will involve the random pairing up of artists, in groups of four. However each artist must favour a different category (ie: Photography, drawing, Writing, animation ). Once the groups have been decided, every one will be given a general topic that is broad enough to encompass all genres. The members of the groups then discuss among themselves what they would like to do for the topic. Once that has been decided, each member then creates an artwork in their genre. The trick comes in, where although each member will do something different, all four pieces of work must correlate to make one unified piece of art at the end.

How the art is presented in the end is entirely up to the group. it could be presented in a video, as slides next to each other, in a presentation. They choose.

Now comes the next part of the competition; All the groups would have had to have thought of a name for themselves and submitted this within one to two days of creation to the group admins. The admins will then add the group name to a running list of participating groups with their progress next to their name.

eg: "The foxes" - Begun the initial drafting stage.

THERE WILL BE NO DEADLINE FOR THIS COMPETITION

Rather, at the end of each month, the completed group projects will then get submitted for judging FROM THE COMMUNITY ONLY. There will be no judges of any form.
The winners will go into the hall of fame. simple as that. No tangible prizes. The prize here is working with other members of the community, getting to know them and possibly making new friends along the way.

The whole idea behind this project is to promote members helping each other out in the community sense.

But now another part to this competition, that i just thought of , is that there will also be like a forum for this competition where the groups can post their ideas or ask questions should they require help with something. The idea here is that all the groups, although divided, are still one and must still help each other out in the forum, with things like resources, guides etc etc.

In order for a group to be eligible to win, they need to have helped out a MINIMUM of four times in the month that they submit their finished group artwork. Otherwise, they cannot win.

Then finally once the group has completed their project, it dissolves and the members names go back into the list to form a new group. The idea here is that the contest never ends and that by the end of it most people will at least be acquainted with most other people in the group.

i do hope you use it If the idea works, then i will create a group dedicated to this idea completely and then get other groups involved. However for now, i would love for you guys to be the pilot group of this
