Digital Point ASCII Website Art Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by SEO Tutor©, Sep 13, 2006.

  1. #1
    Okay webmasters and webmistresses, as time permits, try your hand at creating some ASCII art and post your best effort here in the Digital Point forums. Maybe some famous guru will come along and choose a winner some day, then again, maybe not.

    In any event, here are the rules:

    * wrap your ascii text art with #code tags so it will display properly
    * post as many entries as you want
    * try not to reply quoting another entry; it could mess up the art work

    Good luck to everyone -- I'll kick off the "contest" with a my own creation.

    P.S. - here's a free ASCII art tool -- it can come in handy. ;)

    Do you think it would help to provide a little incentive -- like say a prize to the winner?

    I'd be willing to kick in a free ebook and maybe some other people would like to be sponsors with one of their own products or services. It could be a great way to get more exposure for both the winner(s) and the sponsors.

    Only task left then would be to decide who would be the judge(s) of the entries.

    ...any ideas?

    I'll throw in a free logo design if we can clean up this thread and make it more "official".

    Let me give it some thought...

    Excellent!

    So as prizes so far, we have an SEO e-book and a free logo design -- I'm sure after more people become aware of the contest they'd be willing to kick in something too.

    ...and yes I agree about creating another thread -- you could leave this one in place and link to the current, new improved one.

    PM when you're ready to launch -- and see if you can get some buddies to contribute.

    Awesome! That makes three prizes so far.

    (1) an SEO e-book (by yours truly)
    (2) a logo design by zman
    (3) four directory listings courtesy of honey

    Any suggestions for how the judging should go, or additional rules?

    Some options might be:

    * judges are the people awarding the prizes
    * judges are the mods or DP site owner(s)
    * judging conducted by a poll (would require a set number of contestants)

    other considerations:

    * judges cannot participate in contest (obviously)
    * contest start & end date
    * ASCII art of a certain subject, or....?

    Additional input from other members appreciated!

    Some options might be:

    * judges are the people awarding the prizes :: I would like to be a judge.


    other considerations:

    * judges cannot participate in contest (obviously)
    * contest start & end date :: How about this coming Monday and run it through noon the following. Run the contest for one week.
    * ASCII art of a certain subject, or....? :: This should probably be left open. Let's welcome creativity.

    If we start it on Monday we'll have a couple more days to try and get some more prizes.

    That's great. That makes four prizes up for grabs.

    (1) an SEO e-book (by yours truly)
    (2) a logo design by zman
    (3) four directory listings courtesy of honey
    (4) 300 web directory submissions by WorldImpulse

    Now all we have to do is figure out a way to stir more interest -- either by soliciting more prizes from other contributors, or finding qualified, neutral artists to be the judges, and/or getting more people to register and participate in the contest (for when it officially begins).

    Any ideas for how to make that happen are invited.
