Topic: Contest suggestion!

I'm not much of an animator, and so I don't enter animation challenges because it's just not where my talent lies.  But I do love the writing process, and I'd love there to be contests on writing for the Lego medium.  And it may help more brickfilmers' creativity!  What do you think?

Re: Contest suggestion!

I'm not much of a writer. This idea sounds nice, maybe I'll improve when I participate.

Sounds good, but who will bell the cat?

Re: Contest suggestion!

I'd be interested in exploring having something like this as a division of the primary summer contest. 10 pages max, must be unproduced, anything goes but adhering to the same theme as the general contest.

Re: Contest suggestion!

I think it would be interesting if there was also a regular competition (like the animation challenge) which would have some kind of prompt determined by the previous winner.

Re: Contest suggestion!

Totally for this. Lez do it.

Re: Contest suggestion!

So just writing?  Any possibility it being produced/animated?

Idea: Two part contest, first part is the script/story contest.  Top winners have the option to auction off their script/story to animators or attempt to animate it themselves for the animation contest.  Conditions should be considered, such as writer giving animator full control as long as they maintain the "spirit" of the script/story.

Does the writer get a cut of the winning animator's prize?  Does submitting a script to said contest and auctioning it of mean the writer relinquishes all rights to it?

Some things to consider.

In my opinion I'd say no. There should be prizes for the three winners of a writing contest. The second part of the contest should yield it's own prizes to the animators. If this was brought up as a writing contest it wouldn't be fair if the writers had to share the prizes for a suggested add-on to the contest. I think it would be great if there could be a second part to the contest where we could see what the scripts actually look like. But I don't want to short change the writers and vice versa (the animators). This is a writing contest after all.
