1.A Star Wars style Cop tv show using the storm trooper characters.

2. A castaway style video using the castaway set, or any other characters.

3. A slap cap comedy like the three stooges, or Benny Hill.

4. A sherlock holmes style video.

and what kind of of set pack would you like to have for the prizes?

this is an idea, not sure if everyone would like to enter it, but it would be fun.

Dang, I was planning on taking a break from Muvizu until September, but the contest idea is too intriguing to pass up! Count me in on whatever is decided !

This seems like a fairly big project for people to do, but I'd be interested to see the results! I might enter myself (unless I'm disqualified because I'm a mogul )

Any chance of you joining forces with us?

No your ok, but first I want to see how many would like this Idea Contest before I continue, I do have some Really great characters, props, and more That no one has ever seen yet, stuff I made that I was keeping to myself, but I was thinking of putting in the store, So As becoming Mogul I wanted to do a contest to get everyone going, once I'm sure that I have enough who would like to enter, i'll start setting up the rules and theme, but first I need to know what theme every one chooses.

Joining forces I may just do that!

Posts: 1738 		How about if we combine forces in this way:

1) A series of challenges, and Clayster's is first

2) Each challenge will be defined and judged by a different mogul.

3) All the other moguls can participate in the challenges they don't judge... that way everybody gets to play

if different people define each challenge, that will make it interesting and will give a lot more people input without having to decide by vote or consensus, which really tends to slow any idea down to a crawl. One person can make decisions easily... get many people involved and no decision is possible.

If Muvizu gets involved and declares their own challenge, of course they can award whatever prize they want... but if the forum members do this without sponsorship, I kind of like Clayster's idea that a Mogul could offer a custom set as a prize. All the moguls tend to be really good at that.

Posts: 1988 		I'd recommend staying clear of anything 'franchised' like Star Wars (lawyers never sleep). I'd keep the theme to one word, to make it as unrestricted as possible (like Crime, Tragedy, Journey, etc). Maybe make a list of a dozen theme words, and entrants have to combine two of them (so everyone doesn't go making the same movie). Set the minimum to 30 seconds, max 5 minutes (to keep the judges from losing the will to live through a 20 minute diatribe). Make the deadline 3 weeks from the date of announcement (more than enough for most, not enough for some, but it forces you to plan ahead). I like the idea of a 'lottery' prize as well as a 'merit' prize, it encourages more participation. Most of all though you shouldn't overthink it - it's all about having fun after all

Posts: 1738 		assuming we went with the idea of Moguls running a series of challenges, and offering custom sets as a prize... here's an idea that would provide an incentive to participate in the challenge, and minimize dissatisfaction of people who didn't win:

1) Everybody who participates gets the set, and the set will NEVER be offered in the store... so the ONLY way to get it is to submit a video to the challenge

2) There could be a secondary "attaboy" award for best video... maybe having the video displayed somewhere with the other winners... but not a physical award, since that's what tends to make people feel slighted

or maybe everybody starts out with the set, and the challenge is to see what everybody comes up with

or whatever the mogul sponsoring the contest wants to do....

I like all of the ideas that have been set forth so far... all we need now is for one of the moguls to declare the rules of his/her challenge and say "ready...set...GO!!"
