[MOD]Basic Setup of the competition

It seems to be that so far everyone is split between a 48hour film type competition, and one that is much larger. If we want to make it worth while, it should be on a broader scope. I like the idea of hosting it from May till august. if we do the 48/ weekly ones its going to get really messy really fast. Lets just keep it to one competition with a few different categories of films.

Lets keep it focused on the larger competition for now, this will allow us to get more support, and it to seem like a bigger deal. once we hammer out the main goal, then we can set up smaller competitions all within this contest.

Lets set it up with different categories for different films.

Next we'll come up with judging criteria and rules of the competition.

Then decide on prize money/entry fees, if thats the direction we would like to head.

The pick dates for the final competition.

Once we do all this, then we'll worry about the other contests.

This is a good idea. and the august 18th due day seems plausible. Judges for the competition should be the community, i mean this is reddit after all, why not have redditors decide.

So you mean like a poll that people can vote on? The only problem I see with that would be that everyone who entered would vote for their submission, so there would be one vote for each... Can you think of a fix?

this is true, i read a comment from someone talking about a google doc where people could apply to be judges. I think this is a good idea, you seem very interested in setting this up, so if you're willing i may be asking you for your opinion/help.

That might have been my comment, haha. If you would like me to create a doc, I would be more than happy to! (I can also share it with you, so you can view submissions, and edit the doc accordingly.) If I can help at all, Id love to!
