What would be the greatest prize for a contest?

I'm just wondering. What if someone were to make a awesome contest, but couldn't think of a awesome prize? What could the prize be?

Don't suggest:
-TBG Bucks
-Something you have to mail to an address
-An art request
-A icon request
-A game that take forever
-Something that costs real money

This is puzzling me so hard that my brain exploded 7 minutes ago. Please help me!

Best Suggestions So far:
-Personalized Blocks (Ace-of-Spades)
-Love-its on all projects (Lucario621)
-Sound Effects (Wolfie1996)

*facepalm*

People and their sarcasm. Now I wasted 14 minutes of my life waiting for this load just to see a dissapointing joke.

You got your joke. Ha ha. Very funny.

No, I have not turned into a spammer. I'm suggesting you make all those blocks with a say block being about as large as an arm out of plastic or something.

Re: What would be the greatest prize for a contest?

Depends, I suppose. A person creating a colouring contest could create an animation starring whatever was being coloured, but it would be blank. Then, they would post the contest. When they decide the winner, they could colour the object with the winner's design, then upload the project. You could do the same with drawing/spriting contests, but you might have to ask for the same sprite from different angles/poses. Instead of an animation, you could make a game.

For game-making contests, you could have a theme (Adventures, for example), and redo the graphics for the best one(s). Or, if you happen to have a large music collection (like me - I have 9137 songs  tongue ), you could offer title music/in game music. Or, if you have a microphone, you could create some sound effects (kapow! zap! zap-zap-zap! pop! thud! onomatopoeia!) or vocals (aaaaaargh! grrr! woah! You get the picture  tongue ) for the game.

That's all I can think of, now.  wink

Then he'd get a love it on every single project! What's not to get?

Re: What would be the greatest prize for a contest?

Only have one project though so it won't help me when I win that contest.
