Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Einstien

Everyone likes to show off their skills, whether it be in-game, sports, etc. Competitions are what drives us to hone our skills, and show the world what we are capable of achieving.

Community Art Challenge perhaps?

Here is a mock-up of the competition:

The powers that be chose a random topic and issues the challenge. The time limit and parameters are set at by the one issuing the challenge. The winner is decided by community poll. The winner is showcased during the following Mail Sack. The process then repeats.

The only problem is: could it work?

What are your thoughts?

Pretty sure an art or videogames challenge of that sort has already been done the hell out of, but we could do something else unique.

Maybe their next game will bring back montages... :D

Basically. OP must've been asleep.

Yes, but a more permanent challenge. Random topic each week. The recent Mail Sack challenge is what spawned the idea.

Nope, participated in 'em. I just thought it would be cool to have a lil' something to do each week. Showing off work and sharing it would be quite fun.

Bungie has already done something similar. Remember when they had the screenshot competition? It wasn't voted on by community members but it still took artistic/scenic skills.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

This being a forum on the internet we could have a literal pissing match. You know, distance, height, duration, etc.

Pretty sure it would break some kind of law though.

Yeah, thats what I always say but they still want to press charges.

While these weekly competitions are fun, what I would love to see would be grand monthly challenges. There are members of the community who are artists, and I've always been amazed with what's been shown in the BWU's, but imagine if these people were given a month to work on a piece. Wouldn't that be something?

I think that the winners of this proposed monthly art challenge should be rewarded with some swag (or their art framed and put on display at Bungie Studios).

Thoughts?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Sounds exactly like the All Star competitions.

Could be a good idea. It would be a little difficult though, considering we can't do Halo things anymore, so the artistic members would have a pretty big advantage.

The topics would vary from challenge to challenge, but doe not limit them from using already established characters and logos.
