Question new idea for a contest

well this may sound a bit odd, but what would anyone think about perhaps having a video contest? basically what would happen is that any medium can be used: "flash, recorded video, movie clips, etc..." and it will be posted somewhere for viewing with the link sent to a panel of judges and they debate on who was the best not based on how hard it was to create (like flash vs. an amv using movie maker) but on how good the overall product is. like i said, this may sound a bit dumb but i've had this idea for a while and i thought i'd just throw it out there.

Re: new idea for a contest

I believe what you're referring to is known as demoscene or dreamscene (Name "stolen" by MS for its Vista Ultimate addon). Demoscene is a hold-over from the old days of software cracking. Demoscene competitions are held at most LANs in Europe. I took notes on how it was handled at DreamHack in Sweden. I'll be giving my recommendations to Vector at PDX 11. Might have it at 12
