Official Talent Contest Thread

[bitWISE]

Submission Deadline: Friday, April 13th at 11:59 EST

Submission Guidelines: To submit a file send me a PM for FTP access to my web server.

Before uploading, please be sure to utilize a decent amount of compression on your videos and jpegs. Also, try to use a standard video format such as WMV or Divx. If you're uploading a program, please zip the entire folder or build a single-file installer. When you upload, make sure to label the file with your username and just add numbers to each additional file (bitwise.mp3, bitwise2.mp3).

Contest Guidelines: This contest is about being creative, having fun, and sharing your talent with the community. Feel free to write a song, write a story, sing, play an instrument, create some artwork, juggle, dance, create a fun little computer game, or anything else that requires a bit of talent or creativity. Before making the submissions public I will be disabling the FTP login and screening each file so please don't waste my time with gay porn or a video of you taking a shit...

Categories: These will depend on what is submitted but there are several starting categories you can win already. Currently no rewards are planned but perhaps we could bring back the "Co-Driving Champion" style avatars.
1) Best overall submission
2) Most comedic submission
3) Best serious submission
4) Worst submission

Judging: The contest will be judged by all members of Q3W. Judging will take place the week following the 13th and no votes will be accepted after April 20th at 11:59 EST. Voting will take place in separate thread that will be created on April 14th, containing a link and description for each submission.

Sign Ups: Sign up by replying to this thread with an general description of what you plan to do. Please keep this thread clean and make any unnecassary posts in here.

I will probably be refining these rules as the contest progresses or things need to be clarified.

I will be attempting to play a popular song on my guitar. Which song I choose will depend on how much my skill level improves over the next few weeks.

ok. The car has no gas, and I think it has an old glow plug so I'll get some new stuff for it. The glow plug igniter and radio batteries are being charged right now. I need to clean up all the dirt on it, but it should still work.

I better go to work right now and solder the antenna back together. it is twisted to itself right now

[Tsakali_]

if I knew about this around 3 weeks ago I would have taken a video of a 6inch clay person I made of a 70 year old cupid all weatherd out and abandoned crouching over with a suspicious look at something behind him...his wings are all chopped up and his limbs are mangled. It was my first attempt at making a sculpture...pretty cool too as I first made the muscles and then dressed it with skin.

my fucking dog got to it and raped it pretty good, now it looks more like a ancient discovery put together from 30 diff. pieces.

I would attempt to make another but I'm thinking this clay I chose is not the best for this, it's very difficult to put fine detail on a substance so britle

[mrd]

I'm in. My submission will be an improvised song.

[plained]

I'll post a guitar solo I played several years ago.

*out of contest*

HAha

[mrd]

I'm in. My submission will be an improvised song.

ha.

Whassa matta?

[+JuggerNaut+]

a whole SONG improvised? or a solo? i mean, that's some serious talent if you can compose a a whole song spontaneously.

[mrd]

A song, yeah. It's not a very complex song, but I think it's a pretty neat little ditty. I just laid down a repeating drum track, improvised some rhythm tracks, then solo'd over top of it.
