Anyone know of video contests that allow CoX?

I don't know about a lot of you, but I'd like to think that my work might be good enough to win/place/show in a video or machinima contest somewhere. And to be honest, part of it is me wanting... (oh what's the word, crud I can't think of it, it's not recognition)

I mean, it's one thing to say, "But the players love my work!", and a whole other thing to say, "Look, my videos have won this, that, or the other thing".

Affirmation? No, that's not it either.

Anyway, I think it'd be nice if we could create a post where folks could post up links to machinima contests or whatever that allow CoX as a medium - either that, or I'll have to see about starting my own contest (like the PERC folks did). It'd automatically guarantee that I CAN'T win, but maybe it'll help someone else.

Validation? No... ARGH, what word IS that?!?!

Prestige perhaps?

I think Lighthouse could use a good poking about resurrecting the film festival contest. There have been some vague noises about it happening, but so far nothing.

Hey Michelle. The answer to the question in your subject heading is Any Machinima Conest -- and every year there are quite a lot of them with prizes ranging from a couple hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

They are always posting the contests on that Moviestorm site I was telling you about and Phil "Overman" Rice is starting a calender of all of the machinima contests which you can find on his site z-studios.com.

P.S. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

EDIT: almost "any machinima contest." 95% of them. The other 5% are game or tool specific.

CREDIBILITY!

That's the word I wanted!

And thanks for the link Sam!

Here's the link to the caledar of machinima contests and events:

For some reason when I click on that link, it asks me to save a file.
