I like this idea, Brad,  but it's more of a game than a competition.Ã,  Rather than being set a time limit to come up with something it's just a mere guessing game... but a fun one at that... maybe if you posted such a picture in the general fourm and then the first person to get it right can then make their own such picture, but make sure to keep them in the same thread, otherwise they might end up littering the forum.

I have an idea for a competition.  Everybody loves cut-scenes, but what about whole movies?.. or at least 10 minutes shorts.  How about using AGS to tell a story based on a loose theme given my the competition starter and winners thereafter, no gameplay allowed but gripping narrative and slick direction required.  I really like this, plase somebody else say it's a good plan!!

Thats ok.Ã,  Just an idea.Ã,  Thought it would be a nice angle, that the winning entries actually get used in some way. No worries, though, I can design my own logo.. it'll be gash though... hehe

I have an idea for a competition if everyone could humour me for a moment.

I've just bought a domain name, www.toxicsock.co.uk and I could do with a logo.
I could design it myself, but I thought what if I could set up a competition where I get YOU lot to design it for me.. and then I'll pick my favourite and use it on my site and I'll be sure to give credit where credits due...

Haha, sounds a bit lazy and selfish of me, but hear me out.
It could then be the winner's turn to set up a competition for something (be it a logo, or a sprite or a tune) that he/she needs for their website or game and each winner sets the next competition as we do with the other comps.

It could be called the "Make Me Something Useful" competition.

If any mods think it's a good idea please give me the go ahead to start it... or if its a bad idea, please tell me and I won't sulk.
What does everyone think?

Ahhh.. I see... Nobody's interested... I wonder why that is? its a great creative exercise..
You should start one anyway Tuomas, and, like you say, decrease the deadline to 2 weeks (or maybe even one week).
Also, maybe it would work better if there was a tighter word limit. say between 500 - 1000 words. and maybe extra rules such as having to include 3 particular items in the story.
What do you reckon?

A writing contest sounds like a good idea.  Have you got any links to previous writing contests so I could see what sort of thing you used to do?

I'm looking for Richard Hammond's crash! There's a thousand clips on YouTube but they've all been removed, which is annoying. I was at work and I missed it but really wanted to see the footage. If anyone knows of a location of this video clip, pleeeease tell me

I missed it too, but Top Gear is repeated on Wednesday evening so you could catch it then, or tape it.

Try not to laugh at this video.. it's impossible.
