Ourmedia tie in below.

I am going to be running a contest, hopefully soon, with a thousand dollar prize (minimum) for either:



The best recording of one of the three songs from "Tings" -

The NanoWriMo Song

The Low Voltage Blues

The No Voltage Blues

or:

The best video of one of the scenes from "Tings" - live or animated

or:

The best comic strip of one of the scenes from "Tings"

or:

any other type of production related to "Tings" that I come up with.

Since all entries will be derivatives of "Tings", entrants will have to place their entries under the same license: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike.

I plan on having them put their entries up on Ourmedia and then send in a link as their official entry.

I have a few people lined up so far to be judges on the music side. I need to find judges to help with the video, and comic sides.

I have had a quick talk with a lawyer friend about holding the prize money and disbursing. I need to have a meeting and work out the final details there though.

I am also putting out initial feelers to other people and companies about possible extra prizemoney and other prizes. By other prizes I mean other "place" prizes. The thousand is all going to first place. (Unless some generous person/company puts up a bigger prize.)

I plan on giving bonus points for ardour project files on the musical side. Etc. I have to formulate the details properly.

I am quite excited about the possibilities of this.

For clarity:

So far, there is only going to be the one $1,000 prize. All categories compete for the one prize. Winner takes all. This is subject to change as per the wishes of any others who put up more prize money.
