Golden Boring Tom - Competition?

I do not need a price if should win.....

A medal in my sig would be cool enough for me.

a subscription is always an optional thing. of course people wouldn't have to pay, but a user who does may gain extra benefits... more avatar/profile options, or extra this or that, whereas those who don't pay will keep what they benefit from now.

iron on transfers?

Good idea. Actually I hadn't thought of just mailing the tranfer sheets alone
But it still costs a lot of ink (ink = expensive) to print out and it is not very good quality.
But I might consider maybe having them printed out at a shop.
I will keep that in mind. An excellent suggestion. Thank you Adam.

alternatively, you may be able to add little medals to our profile names/avatars. [...] hey! how do i get one of those cool medla in my profile?

Absolutely.

perhaps a forum subscription could be an alternative means of fundraising for prizes.

I have to agree with Matt. It would make the forum less attractive. It should be free for people to join (and what about those who already joined? Should I ask them to pay or leave? )

Thanks good to know. I feverishly keep thinking of ways of rewarding the winner(s), but there really is not cheap way to do that.
So we should maybe start to seriously consider that this will be a "prestige" event

Although... I do have another little idea... but that will stay my little secret, because I would not want to give you guys any false hopes

All this being said, there will be the following rewards:
- Little medal profile icons
- A printed certificate
- A "Hall of Fame" album/gallery to show the winner's work and the runner ups.

Unfortunately we will have to say good bye to an actual trophy. I have considered all possible and imaginable ways for making trophies (casting them myself, having them cast, buying generic multi-sport trophies, giving away some miniatures of mine etc etc etc) but they are all much to expensive for me to finance without contributions/donations/entry fees.

Not just until the next competition, but as long as this Blessed Forum of Noble Tom exists. In The Hall of Fame your works shall be immortalized; there future generations shall kneel in awe before images of your inspirinig work.

Look Upon Our Works, Oh Ye Mighty, And Despair.

Or laugh and point fingers.....which would be the case for me
