Over the last few month's contest, we haven't had many chances to stray from what we already had planned and just fit right, like the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and w;hatever others I can't ever remember anymore So now we've finally hit the point where we're open for suggestions again Which contest do you all want next? Old ideas and new, so long as we haven't done a contest to it before.

The new character contest idea seems better, but what about doing a contest based on the most sad moments in Lost? not all horror and action or owt, just the generally sad bits (i've been inspired by listening to 'Mad World' on the Donnie Darko soundtrack)

Ooohh, I like both of those! If not this month, we should definitely try those out in the future. (like the sad one after somethign really bad happens to the survivors or something)

The characters one has really good timing for this month, but I'm a little sceptical is people can pull off good videos around the lesser characters. But hey, it's worth a shot.

I've been thinking abotu a contest in one of the next months, maybe we can have a contest where people take popular lost theories of what the island is and represent each them to a vid. Might be neat because someone from the Lost communiy might actualyl use those to convey theories and whatnot... hmmm...

yeh the new characters one sounds great, i'd like to see a rose and bernard one.... it would be so sweet, but it would be difficult having to use little footage

i can also see that there will be a few mr eko vids ... he has quite a fan base growing here coughKCcough lol it's too bad 'the 23rd psalm" won't be on til mid january (is that right??) coz there'd be great clips of eko then

and i like the idea of a vid that interprets the island and it's theories.... it might be a difficult one but i reckon it would definately be interesting to see what people come up with

I love all of these ideas! They're all very appealing. I had a challenge idea myself...

Since we *are* entering the new year, I think it would be a cool contest for vidders to make a video showing different characters' "resolutions"...possibly showing the mistakes they made in their flashbacks, and then how they redeem themselves on the island, or how they take advantage of a chance at a new life. It might seem kind of dull and simple in writing, but I think it would be challenging for people to find the exact right clips, and to make redemption look as convincable as possible.

Oh yes, I agree! You should DEFINITELY have a contest where everyone makes videos dedicated to Mr. Eko... what? That wasn't a suggestion? Oh, well it is now.

I don't have any other suggestions for now. Maybe like a PSA, or an "Anti-drug" or a "most wanted" advertisement? Something like that. It does appear we've got more than a couple of criminals in our midst!

My idea would be to do like a Lost Fashion Island thing. Plus sizes for Hurley, even oversized kids clothing for Walt. The always fashionable cargo pants for Kate, etc. etc.

Does anybody get what I'm saying? I think it'd be cool.

*votes for that*

Uhh... I'd suggest a contest idea except for the small fact that I really suck at suggesting contest ideas...

There are some really awesome ideas already suggested here, though, so I have no doubt that whatever y'all come up with, it'll produce some killer vids!

I would like to see more comedy videos. If you have a contest to see who can come up with the funniest comedy video. Ya know, play around with audio/video and see what comes out. I'm sure a lot of the talented people on here could come up with some really funny stuff.

I got two ideas today.

1. Take a song that is not really a shippy song and make it into a shippy video. For instance, don't use a song that has lines like, "I wanna kiss you," and blah blah blah. Instead use "I Dare You To Move" or "Bouldavard of Broken Dreams," etc.

2. This one might be a little easier... for some... What we have to do is take at least two songs and splice them into a well edited and organized medley and use the medley in a video.
