On a more serious noteI thought we might as well make a start on being creative about what the prizes can be. The thing we need to keep in mind when talking to possible sponsors is that it isnt just Brycers who use only the software, but people who use hardware, read books and magazines, have extended interests etc, and such an event provides sponsors a cost effective means addressing this segment. The bane of most online competition is that it isnt taken too seriously or doesnt enjoy the same status as an off-line one. However, if this was to be worked out properly, this could be a major Bryce community event in its own rights. So here I have created a wish list of sorts and hope people will chip in on this with their own suggestions and creative ideas! Well there are 3 things people desire Recognition Enhancement Monetary benefits Suggestion on Prizes: (as well as possible sponsor list) In terms of recognition, what if the images got published in a few leading Graphic magazines, including Renderosity, CGW, Siggraph publications etc. An illustration contract? A free website with personal url? Or say inclusion in illustrators showcase website..etc. In terms of Enhancement: The Fastest AMD or Intel processor plus Motherboard/ and/or 3D Graphics accelerator card/ a new 19 Monitor. A selection of software (Bryce 6? Poser 5? Rhino? Carrara? Etc) 6 month subscription to Renderosity, Computer Graphics World, New Rider book coupons etc In terms on Monetary benefits: Well its just moolah here, the more the merrier. But at the end of the day its prize money which makes events big and attracts the best talents! Comments? Suggestions? Additions? Folks?
