	Folks, break out your lightsabers.... the time has come. Introducing: TheForce.net's Fan Films Forum Lightsaber Choreography Contest III CONTEST RULES: Entries must be previosuly unreleased. Single bladed and double bladed lightsabers only. Any style or combination of these weapons is valid, but no 12-bladed sabers or saber nun chucks. Hand-to-hand combat within the fight is acceptable, but no long parts without any lightsaber combat at all. Entries (the entire finished sequence, not just the fighting parts) must be less than 4 minutes in duration. Effects, costumes, sound effects are encouraged but not necessary. No Duel of the Fates. No Navras. The creators' names or company logo are not to appear in the entry for the sake of anonymity. You risk disqualification if you post about whose entry is whose, including your own. Like before, we plan to have the open poll voting, and also a separate panel of judges to review and rank the entries. The judges panel is yet to be determined, but will be decided upon by the end of the contest. Anyone who is submitting an entry, or worked on one, will not be a judge. Should it seem that adding more rules or altering any of these is needed, action will be decided upon via a vote between the 4 contest organizers (Ryan_W, BrandonFlyte, Sage_Halcyon, JediByKnight (JBK)). In the event of a tie, a 5th anonymous TFN moderator will break the tie. CONTEST DEADLINE / CALENDAR: Giving you 4 months from the time of this posting, the entry submission deadline is midnight January 1st, 2005 (PST). The web page with the entries for download and the voting thread with the poll will go online simultaneously one week later (Saturday, January 8th) Two weeks after the polls open (popular vote) the judges' reviews and rankings of the entries will be posted. (Saturday, January 22nd) CONTEST PRIZE: We all agree having some sort of prize for the winner(s) of the contest would be fun and a great incentive to participate. Everyone, please feel free to use this thread to discuss ideas for prizes, and how to get them. One idea we've had is to set up a PayPal account that anyone can donate to if they would like to contribute to the contest prize(s). But again, this is the place to talk about any and all prize ideas. If you have any questions pertaining to the contest that you would like to ask, post them in this thread or feel free to PM any one of the contest organizers (Ryan_W, BrandonFlyte, Sage_Halcyon, JediByKnight (JBK)). Good luck, everyone. The clock is ticking. -----signature----- http://www.RyanVsDorkman.com http://www.twitter.com/RyanWieber

	The anonymity rule seems difficult to enforce. A lot of people might be recognizable in the video even if nobody said out loud who they were. But apart from that, huzzah. -----signature----- http://www.weirdhat.com/

	Yes, totally valid point and it's unavoidable, to an extent. Mainly, we're trying to get rid of "My entry is #4! Vote for me!" or "#7 was done by XXXXXXX, who made that lame/awesome one last time..." etc, etc. It's about trying to encourage voting based purely on the sequence participants put out. It'll never be completely anonymous, but we can try. -----signature----- http://www.RyanVsDorkman.com http://www.twitter.com/RyanWieber

	Cool beans and rice!! I already assume the answer's prolly no, but just to make sure... There's no restrictions on the number of combatants or the number of sabers each combatant possesses, right? -- Edit -- Also, I like the lightsaber replica idea.. although what happens in the case of collaboration? Who gets the Saber? Can't think of anything much better of the top of my head... a free fencing lesson for all those involved? ...dinner at Popeye's Chicken for all? ... a "I won the Choreography Contest and all I got was this lousy shirt... signed by Ryan Wieber" T-shirt? -----signature----- --------------------------------------------------- Michael F.

	I'd like to see a lightsaber trophy with some words engraved, twould be awesome, it should be something not practical though, purely wall hanger. " a free fencing lesson for all those involved?" you can get those anyway, without winning a no-name competition on an obscure internet board. -----signature----- LOL, you really are our favorite fan, Ephisus. -SZier http://www.loukusfilm.com http://ephisus.deviantart.com/ Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/Ephisus/poster_old2copy.jpg

	No Navras. Does that mean we can still use Neodammerung? -----signature----- "Pants! Unlimited Pants!"

	" a free fencing lesson for all those involved?" you can get those anyway, without winning a no-name competition on an obscure internet board. Oh.. yeah, true. Ah.. maybe a few lessons? I dunno. The trophy idea's not bad.. almost as good as my T-Shirt idea ... though yeah.. practicality/"degree of insentive" might lack. Erm.. I dunno how feasibly this idea is.. but if everyone on the forums are encouraged to chip in on this anyhow... how about a forum (maybe theater) compilation DVD.. or maybe just a giftbag of DVDs? A little bit of everything, full/best quality, on DVD player compatible DVDs. Some fanfilms, some FX test, maybe all the entrees, and perhaps RvD 1.0 and 1.5 (depending on when that's gonna be done by). Generally alot of the reward would be saving somone the effort of requesting copies of all the material from individual sources. Maybe some might not care about having DVDs or full quality footage as much, though, so maybe it can go along as an addition to the pot (as in jackpot .... unless of course that's an option ) along with something else. -----signature----- --------------------------------------------------- Michael F.
