I really wanna see the return of the contest format where ALL of the creative fandom can take part.
Art, fics, vids etc.

I don't have the resources to make videos. I think art contests are good because anyone has access to a pencil and paper if not an art program.

Like I already said about the last contest: if there is something really unique to win, something that every fan would like to have but has no other chance to get than winning in this contest, it should be open for everyone and not just limited to one category (like just art or just fanfic).

Well it would be pretty hard to the judges decide winners from multiple categories?

Not really, a fanart could be better than a fanvid, a fanfic could be better than a fanart, a fanvid could beat them all Not one category is any better to begin with

Hey... ya'll really think we could figure out how to make a fanfic contest work? I mean, I dunno how many entries we'd get and all, but I dunno if every single person who votes is gonna sit down and read each and every one... ya know? And no matter how awesome a fanfic is, its not really fair for someone to vote without readin all of em, right?

Yeah, agree on the fanfics. I confess, I hardly ever read fanfics during contests, I just vote for the person I know/who already has the most votes.

I don't think fanfics are a good idea for the reasons Ron said.
I don't think fan videos are a good idea either because most people here don't have the resources to make them.
I think an art contest would be best.

Lets just have fanvid contest alright? I'm tried of being until to enter something for a sweet colored custom title just because I can't draw and hate writing.

Wait, this is all for a custom title?
I've never been here for a contest besides the Cocoa Moo one. I assumed this is for some swag.
And I just think videos are a bad idea because I don't have anything to make them with and I don't think most people do.

ZT and Zoza bring up an interesting point. What about a contest for something that anyone can do? What if you can't draw or write and or don't have the resources to make a video? There's GOTTA be something that anyone can do. Ideas, anyone?

I just think that we should do a fanvid for a number of because, I think that we do way too many fanart contests already, while we've never done a fanvid contest, and I'm tried of sitting out of these contests enough personally.

Why have we randomly started this trend of excluding certain fan categories from contests?
Our Christmas contest was the last time we had vids/fics/art involved.
I can understand that the Graduation contest was an uber-special one-off, but we should get back to being more inclusive, imho. Three category contests made rs.net awesome back in 2006.
