The "Set Contest" Contest

[stampsyne]

The Precept:

You create your own set contest to become a competitor in this contest. Winners are based on the amount of entries you recieve and votes from fellow competitors. Each competitor has 1 vote, but can vote for the first second, or third place of another contestant. I get one vote since I created the contest, unless there is an even number of competitors, then I get two!

The Prize:

25,000 NP to the person with the MOST sets.
25,000 NP to the person with the MOST different users submitting.
25,000 NP to the person voted to have selected the best set.
25,000 NP to the person who created the winning set.


The Rules:

1) There must be more than 10 competitors, or this is cancelled.
2) This must be a NEW set contest and not an already existing one.
3) Prizes in your contest should not exceed 100K in pure neopoints (items do not count).
4) You cannot post entries in your own or the other competitors contests.
5) All contests must all close on July 25 at 12PM NST.
6) Anybody absent for greater than 5 days after the closing date are disqualified of thier vote so this contest may close by July 30th.
7) Sets stictly MUST conform to PPT rules.
8 ) Competitors must use thier winning set for at least a week.

***

To enter you must:

1) Post your contest summary and a link to your contest..
Please post link to this contest in your contest.
2) Feel free to discuss sets and ask for critiques.
3) Post your winning sets after the closing date. (You may post a first, second, and third if you wish)
4) Vote for your favorite set by 1) Contestant name then 2) Set creator's name


Rules subject to change at my whim [ie: if needed]

This is a really awesome idea actually!

If I had the spare NP around, I'd join in, but I've wasted most of it on training.

Same. 'Xcept I wasted my NP on giving it away. xD

I don't have much anymore.

[_jaye_]

Does it have to be in NPs? Can it be in another form...say, graphics?
(I meant prizes )

I would enter that set contest.

I just put a cap on NP to be fair to those who don't have uber-amounts. Prizes and subjects can be anything you wish!

[Tymaporer]

Set contest contest? Hmm...should I make a contest or enter the competitiors'?

[_jaye_]

Oooh ok then Doubts clear

I would enter that set contest.

I did plan one, but then gave up

[DM was on fire!]

I just had a set contest, and I don't have that kind of NP. n_n I'll just enter the set contests. XD

[Wind]

Aw, I already have a set contest running

That seems a bit unfair to your partisipants. If you were to win one or more of the categories given your advantage, you're only going to give out 75% or less of the promised prizes (unless you make some sacrifice and give it to the runners up that's going to be changed in your rules "by whim".) Point being, it's for the contestants and not you to be a part of it besides being the host.

Another question, why exactly do you have a NP cap on prizes given out? If they choose to give out more, they should be able to (as we don't have any restrictions.)

Because if one person was giving out 800k in prizes, more people would enter their set contest than others.

[Jasujo]

Because if one person was giving out 800k in prizes, more people would enter their set contest than others.

But they are only going to win 25k, so anything they are offering in their contest above that is a loss. I don't see why it matters how much they give out because it's not like they are winning more. O.o It's actually, the more your contest is for, the more you lose compared to someone that has a small contest and wins 25k to cover it.

[Twinkle]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think the point may be to entice entrants with nice topics to choose from and capture set makers imaginations, not the prize money.

[cat1205123]

Hmm...well now, I was aiming more for Twinkle's point, but Jas has a good thought too...


*grumbles* Eh, who cares, I can't do this anyways, I already have a set contest.
