Alright.... Here it is...
Here's your chance to tell people what sort of contest that you want to see, but never had the guts to make yourself

Just like every other contest, the Ideas for a Contest Contest will have submittions and voting

Each person is allowed to submit 2, count them 2 ideas for a parody contest that they would like to see with a breif description on what the contest is all about.

Once we get enough ideas we will have voting
If possible you will vote for the Top 4 Ideas

The winners will have their parody contests formed via me.

The submittion phase will end on July 29th: 5 days from now...

I always thought a "matchplay" (ie like in golf) contest would be interesting

16 contestants get paired off (ie. seeded according to the POATY rankings, as in tennis)
then the 8 winners play off to get 4 semi-finalists, and the 2 winners play off in the Parodybowl

I second that commotion!  ;D

I've always wanted to see a Trash-Talkin' contest.

Not about other AmIRighters (since that's not allowed), but just about ANYTHING you hate that you can absolutely rip to pieces.

I've always wanted to see the antithesis of that: a contest where two names are drawn out of a hat. The first name is the parodist writing the parody. The second name is the parodist that that parody has to be about. Yet that wouldn't really work, as people would favour the parodies about themselves. Still, I think it could just possibly work...maybe.

Failing that, maybe we could just get a life somehow. But I doubt it.

There is a Queen parody contest going on right now.  Using specific original artists is a good idea, and since it's summer how about the Beach Boys.

How about an Operatic Aria challenge? Contestants must parody an aria (that is, a solo vocal excerpt) from any opera, any language, length of at least 3 minutes. They must also provide the lyrics, and if possible a MIDI or a downloadable recording.

Heck, These are good ideas... I may even do the non-winners...

My idea:

10 contestants, each contestants for round 1, puts in a song to be parodied and a theme, then for each competetitor a song and a theme are randomly drawn for them. (seperately, not song and theme, but random songs and random themes for each person.

voting

top six then submit another song and theme and again people are given themes and songs to parodies

voting

top 2 then submit another song and theme and agian it is random, so people could get their own themes/songs/both.

voting

winner


like usual, voting is only open to the competitors, in the later rounds, the original competitors must still vote, otherwise they will be dqed form alter comps.

you vote for top 3 with:

1st =3 points
2nd=2 points
3rd=1 point

Alright Contest Ideas Are In....... Now time for voting!!!!!

You will vote for your Top Three Ideas, by person
-You cannot vote for yourself

Deadline For Voting Is..... Auguest 5th

Idea One, by Stuart McArthur
-"Matchplay"

Idea Two, by Cat
-"Trash Talk"

Idea Three, by Conquerer_of_Parodies
-"Tribute"

Idea Four, by Scathe
-"Artist Contest"

Idea Five, by Agrimorfee

-"Theme/Song Contest"

Idea Six, John2
-"Theme/Song Contest"

Who? Anyway, i like his idea, think I'll vote for him. And Matty, if this does win, or even if it doesn't, I'm taking back my submission as I'm going to do it myself.

3 Points to "Theme/Song"
2 Points to "Tribute"
1 Point to "Match Play"

just, PLEASE, no opera....sorry Agri, but that would be the death of me trying to figure out discernable syllables in a soprano's screeches.

Sorry about that whole spelling typo thing John2, Josh2, Jim2, Jerimiah2, Joe2, whatever....

nay worries mark, mike, man, mick, MOT,  but i reckon i will do my contest myself if thats alright.

Yeah no problem...

3=Stu
2=Scathe
1=Conqueror

I'm not sure what Cat's idea is about...don't people write about things they hate already?  ??? :)

3 points to Scathe
2 points to Cat
1 point to Josh 2

This contest is incrediby weird. Oh, well. At least I don't have to spend half an hour finding the OS's! :P :P :P

3 points......Trash (Cat)
2 points......Tribute (conqueror)
1 point........Artist (Scathe)

but also, I would like to recommend against using my idea, because I don't think the voting could work out objectively enough, and having to vote for one person of a pair (which means rejecting the other) is too personal and could be liable to occasional misinterpretation

this is all "imho" of course, as I don't own the idea

Winners: Cat with her "Trash Talking" contest, and Conquerer_of_Parodies with his "Tribute" contest

2nd Place: Goes to Stuart with his "Matchplay" idea

And 3rd Place: Goes to Agrimorfee with his "Opera" idea

DQ's for this round were: Josh2, and Scathe for lack of voting
