Forum:SH:Opinions on a new image contest

Hello, my fellow fanonites, good ol' Wylind here!

So, as most of you all know, we've had the short story contest and we have our annual Wiki Awards. What we don't have, however, is a contest for images, and we have a lot of images on this wiki. I mean the number is like up in the thousands.

So I was thinking of a new annual (or maybe just 1-time deal) contest or wiki-wide voting activity. We could find the best images in certain categories (such as images of Jedi, Sith, males, females, the best book covers) and come together and vote on the best ones. If approved, we can hammer-out the details later, but first I just wanted to see if there were other people interested in this just as I was. Please leave your comments below, and remember to stay civil.

I think it would be a great idea. - Bluethunder Contact 23:03, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

 * A best book cover and some of the other categories sound very interesting to me, but a lot of those covers use images from non-user-made photos. So unless it is all user-made, then I don't think we can vote on it. That is what makes this hard for me to support it. There aren't enough 100% user-made images out there for a good contest. An image drive is a better option first.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says...23:06, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because it's not user-made doesn't mean we can't vote on it. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  23:09, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, to be honest, I do not like the idea all that much.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says...23:10, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great idea! This would be something I know I can actually compete in! Ty294  {Talk}  23:10, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Change it to an art contest, meaning it has to be user made, and it has my support. I know Trak Nar has suggested something very similar in the past. Voting on images from Star Trek and anime movies is just silly. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 23:12, March 20, 2010 (UTC)
