Coloring Contest?

Ok how do I do a coloring contest?
I'm wondering:  What's the best thing to make people color?

                      How long should I keep the contest open?

                      How should I reward the winner? and other details.


                                         Please help!

Re: Coloring Contest?

Just have them fill in whatever you want. If there's something you think everyone will like, go for it. As for rewards, most people offer mentions in their projects, free love-its, etc. Again, whatever you feel people will want!

Re: Coloring Contest?

Try to make it different from just, say, a cat.
There are hundreds of cats and dogs and manga characters you can colour. Try something totally unique. Maybe you could draw a celebrity? I'm sure Justin Beiber would be popular. You could copy an image from the internet and cartoonize it!
As a reward, you could use Love-Its, Favourites, art requests, anything you can offer!
Maybe a week is long enough. Try to keep to the deadline and let the people who entered whether they have won or not.  smile

Not that I would personally demolish it (nor that I like him), considering this sites average IQ, most people wouldn't be able to resist not leaving the thing alone and upload him with funny mustaches and ugly faces.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Yeah, give an award to the person who defames him the best.  tongue

I actually have the picture ready, but that's funny.  I'd like to see how goofy they make him look.
