I'd rather have a contest where the skill levels weren't quite as important as the imagination and creativity involved. Morphing and magnetwork take a fair amount of experience with Poser, and are daunting for beginners. If everyone can play, you might get more entries. "Reflections" as a theme can be broadly or narrowly interpreted. An expert could manipulate funhouse mirrors and all the morphs whereas a beginner might be happy to get his feet wet. Another interesting theme could be the "Borderland" between reality and surreality (something which we cross all the time, but may not have taken time to examine). Everything from the cynicism of a realtor selling surreal estate to the pain and innocence of Stevenson's "In the Land of Counterpane" to pure abstraction would be included... as long as it features the moment of transition. If you would like an idea a bit more concrete, how about castles? Sand castles, cloud castles, cold stone or spun glass castles... with a Poser figure interacting somehow. Carolly
