Star Wars Fanon talk:Image Contest

As always, keep it civil and clean, folks!  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:27, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know this will sound self-serving since I have an image I want to submit in the category I am about to suggest, but perhaps a BEST WEAPON category should be made, like they do with the Wikia Awards, although that may be a small category since I can only think of two known examples on the site, at the moment.- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 14:58, September 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * While that would be a good category, I do not think one should be created for this contest. There are hardly any original or semi-original images of weapons on this site. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 00:55, September 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good point. I was also debating the "Scenery" category last night.  I had a number of categories drafted up, including "Weapon" and "Scenery," but had originally nixed them both due to the amount of entries this contest will receive.  I suspect that the vast majority will be character artwork.  If we do get a number of entries or interest in other categories, such as weapons and scenery, then I'll re-add them.  In the meantime, though, nixing those two again.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 00:59, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * While this has a downside, what about a "catch-all" category for those that don't fit into the others? Weapons, scenery, planets, etc. Of course, it is harder to judge images on merit if there are a myriad of differences, but it can be done. I do suggest that if you are looking to expand scenery, to maybe include planet, star, system, etc. that is not map-based to it. A view of space that includes a planet and its moon is just as much "scenery." Just a couple of thoughts. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 04:09, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * The "Scenery" category was going to include planets, systems, buildings, etc. I just termed it "scenery" in my notebook as it seemed like the best thing to label that broad of a category as.  Though, a "Misc" category would work.  Judging it could be done on a tiered system, like scenery with other scenery, weapons with other weapons, winners of those batches judged against each other, but seeing as much like the other contests we have, such judging would be done by what got the most votes, than a system like that would be rather unnecessary and complicated.

 * I added a "Misc" category with a general description of what can be nominated, and a note that if a large enough number of a certain type of image is nominated, then that group will be split off into its own category. So, Wylind, when you wanna launch this puppy?  Do you wanna handle the contest logo or should I?  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:27, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
