There seems to be a pent-up demand for another Avatar Contest. Most of it is targeted at "The Tick," since many are wanting to mourn its recent passing. But I noticed some mourning of "The Invisible Man," so I thought I would broaden it a bit. (Also, I remember the debacle that was the LOTR Contest, and want to make sure this attracts more than 5 contestants. :rolleyes:)
So instead of slapping on a black armband to commemorate the passing of your favorite show, put up an avatar. It can be a recent cancellation, or a not-so recent one; but it should reflect a show cancelled in its prime, or before it had a chance to develop properly.
How the Contest Works: Now, most of you should know the drill by now, but for the benefit of our recent arrivals, I'll recap:
Find, find or create an avatar. Then, to participate in the contest come to this thread and put up a note. If the avatar is obscure, tell us a little about it.
Next Friday (the 18th) we'll lock the thread; contest is over. At that point anyone on the boards (whether participating in the contest or not) will get to vote on the avatars they liked the best. To do this, send an email here (tzmovieclub@yahoo.com) listing the three posters in this thread who you think have the best avatars:
* Give the person with the best avatar 3 votes.
* Give the person with the second best 2 votes.
* Give the person with the third best 1 vote.
Voting closes the night of Monday, Jan 21.
I will then tally up the ballots and on the 22nd announce the top 3 vote getters and any honorable mentions.
NOTE: I will be participating, but since I'm the official score-keeper, I'm going to rule myself ineligible. So don't bother voting for my avatar, folks, it'll just be a wasted vote.
For this to work, you have to leave your avatar UP and UNCHANGED at least until the 22nd. Don't change your avatar just because the thread closes; you have to give others a chance to look over your avatar when they go to vote. (In previous contests, I suspect some people lost votes because they changed their avatar too quickly.)
If you have any questions, you can post them to this thread also.
Remember, this contest is entirely voluntary.
