SEMA Style Contest

[mike@af]

This is the idea Matt (customminatures) and I have been tossing around and I just want to get some opinions about it to see if it would be a good turn out.

----------------------------------
Introduction:

This is a contest much like SEMA. There will be multiple categories in which you can enter. There will be a winner from each category to compete in the finals for the AFMOTY. We still need to get an OK from Jay, Tonio, Chris, and PMan to call it the AFMOTY though.
----------------------------------

Categories:

ICE (In Car Entertainment):
-The entry will have a heavily modified entertainment system.

Hot Rod Show Cars:
-The entry will be a customized hot rod of some sort.

-The age of the entry should be from 1899-1960

-The entry is to be a show car more than a race vehicle.

Import Show Cars:
-Then entry will be a customized import vehicle of some sort. Mostly a tuner.

-The entry is to be a show car more than a race vehicle.

Truck Show Car:
-The entry will be a customized truck of some sort.

-The entry is to be a show car more than a race vehicle.

Custom Motorcycle Show Bike:
-The entry can be any bike used primarily for show purposes

-The entry can be a chopper or a street bike. The preference is left to the modeler.

Engine:
-The entry will be any vehicle with a heavily customized engine.

-The entry should primarily be used as a race vehicle.


----------------------------------

The contest is pretty open-ended to allow for maximum creativity. If you have any suggestions please let me know. As far as a deadline, it will be pretty far off to give inexperienced modelers a chance and to allow for maximum modification. We're looking at January 1, 2005 for the deadline right now as a though.

Any thing in blue has been changed or added since the thread was first constructed.

Just to let everyone know. The updates of new rules are posted in blue.

--------------------------
Just thought I would let everyone know I am entering the contest even though I am organizing it.

And drive themselves to the show, and be fully operational.

Hey, love what you re trying to do here on that new contest idea, but I think you re going to specific in your demands, I mean if you look at the average builder here, he or she ( we dont forget you ladies ) is usually not that much into modifying for the sake of modifying, but maybe more modifying for the sake of realism (IE conversions), or not be into modifying at all.

What I would like to see here, instead is a massive (with entries close to the MOTY comp), with all sorts of modelers and all sorts of levels of modifying in it , lotsa entries and lotsa diversity, not a 4- entries contest.

My two cents
