A Christmas Story Contest!


brought to you by your ET neighbor, [Mordigen]






This one is basic, and easy, and fun! This is a contest all about the classic holiday movie 'A Christmas Story'. We all know it, and we all love it - wether we want to admit to it or not ;P. And wether you love it, or you hate it - this is a fun holiday contest for everyone! Art, Poetry and Photography welcome!







The Rules
1 - First and foremost, no stolen work.
2 - You Must follow the Subject matter.
3 - If submitting a photomanipulation, you must properly credit *all* stock images, or other stock resources used in the image
4 - If you directly use any type of refference or copy a pose/idea you must credit all models, resources, references or other stock resources.
5 - Please, put you best foot Forward! Put some time and thought into this, don't just slap something together. Items that are rushed, unkempt or on lined paper, or just jumbled together with other random scribbles or doodles does not show time or thought, and will be removed. This does not mean you are disqualified - you are more than welcome to re-enter the *finished* product of that image, but an unfinished image will not qualify for the final vote.
6 - Absolutely no drama crap. If there is any fighting, those people will be asked to leave the wiki. If those involved are entries in the contest, you will be given the one warning - if it continues, you will be disqualified.
If at any point in time, I hear anyone start to complain or start gossip/rumours over the contest being rigged in any way shape or form - you are immediately disqualified - no warning. This is suppose to be FUN!!! And that crap does not make it fun, so it will *not* be tolerated -at all.


The Theme
The Theme of this wiki, contest and the subject matter of your pieces is, duuhh, 'A Christmas Story'! I don't care how you muse it - it can be serious, it can be funny, it can be perverted, it can be a flaming ode of passion and love to the movie, it can be a declaration of war and anger and shame against it -- i don't care, just so long as you are creative, original, keep it based on the subject, and have fun with it!
You can submit Artwork - Poetry - Photography or Photomanipulations. All are welcomed, just be sure to submit them in the proper section.


Deadline & Judging
The Deadline will be New Years Day, and for those of us that might be a bit off - that is January 1st 2009.

Once the Deadline hits, judging will start immediately. A public poll will be held for a favorite, or popular entry, but that does not mean that the one who wins the poll wins the whole contest. Popular Vote will be given a consolation badge. The Popular vote will also be counte towards the total, official vote. Otherwise, the judging will be done by a closed, private an annonymous group of judges that I will choose at my descretion based on their ability to be impartial to this contest. Each entry will be judged based on their originality, creativity, time/effort, skill and technique.

Prizes!
Unfortunately, I am a broke bitch, so I cannot offer any monetary or material prizes - BUT, you are more than welcome to get a request piece done by me, [Mordigen], if you so choose, annnd, there will be Prize medals/badges what have you to place in your House Presentation, or in your diary, or on wikis, or to brag about in messages etc etc etc. :P

There will be a First - Second - Third place medal awarded for each section, as well as an ET Favorite! consolation medal for the Popular vote for each section.

2008-12-10 [Skydancer]: Hmmmmm. Scribbles Notes

2008-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: You'll shoot your eye out!

2008-12-10 [Kyrinn]: I dont think I can have anything ready for this, but its an awesome idea!

2008-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: Ya know, the first time I saw this movie... They get to his Red Rider BB Gun all wrapped up. My little brother and I noted the shape of the package. We both turned and looked over at the tree and the two packages shaped exactly like that leaning on the wall next to it. And, indeed, we got our first guns that year XD

2008-12-10 [Hedda]: I just saw that movie because [Viking] told me to, but it was definitely not a movie for me. Way too American in a bad annoying way.

2008-12-10 [Calico Tiger]: Awwwwwwww, I loved it. So cute! "FFfffffffffudge....." Best Christmas movie made, imho :D

2008-12-10 [Lord Dog]: Way too American in a Bad annoying way? I am not sure if that was insulting ...I actually hated that movie because it never had the hoped for plot twist of Ralphie going on a killing spree when he finally got his bb gun

2008-12-10 [Daisy_Sandybanks]: I've never actually seen the movie. I guess I should watch it .. Tis the season, right? :P

2008-12-11 [Jeccabee]: I've seen most of it...but I still need to sit down and watch it all...if I can

2008-12-11 [Paul Doyle]: It is a classic, all right, but after seeing it year after year for some reason it doesn't hold up as well as any of the animated classics like "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" or "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" or "A Charlie Brown Christmas." It also doesn't strike me as being in the same league as the old black-and-white versions of "A Christmas Carol" or "Miracle on 34th Street" or "It's a Wonderful Life." (But who'd make an ET version of any of these movies? :P)

In any event, for some really random chuckles and for something classically BAD but fun, consider seeing "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" with or without the MST3K treatment. (It's on Youtube, I think . . . )

2008-12-11 [Paul Doyle]: In any event, I'll most likely lurk. After a tremendous amount of real-life BS, I have other stuff to catch up on and I doubt I'd have anything complete to offer by the deadline. good luck to everyone who does enter, though :)

2008-12-11 [Mordigen]: I miss MST3K :( *sniffles*

2008-12-11 [Kyrinn]: Im wearing my tapes out of it, Mord. :C I watched "sky Divers" yesterday because I was desperate for some heckling humor. O.o

2008-12-11 [Mordigen]: I need to get me the DVD set of that, real bad

2008-12-11 [Kyrinn]: I had a friend who let me borrow all of hers, but she moved out of state and took them with. :C Ive been watching it on YouTube lately because I dont have the money tog et the collections.

2008-12-11 [Mordigen]: same here........broke bitches :(
the little bit of extra money I have had, I've spent on our Son's christmas :P Which is fine by me :D but that is definately going on my "to do" list to get....eventually lol

2008-12-11 [Kyrinn]: being broke sucks logs.

Yeah, same here. Family on the east coast isnt able to send gifts like they always do, so its no big deal. And that means if they send gift cards we can give them to him later. he gets a lot of mileage out of gift cards. XD 

2008-12-11 [Jeccabee]: I love all those old black and white christmas movies. My fav is White Christmas...makes me cry every time at the end. :P
I also love the Christmas Carol!

2008-12-11 [Kyrinn]: the old 1930s Christmas carol is my all time favorite. Closely followed by White Christmas and then A Christmas Story. ^_^

2008-12-11 [Viking]: *watches*
