A contest is a competition for all forumers to compete and see who can make the best scenarios. There are many kinds of contests. If you want it to have lots of participants don't make the required map size too big. Brownboot was smart. He only used a 30x30 map. Some people might consider this too small but........ anyway types of contests. Storyline Contest. In this contest the storyline is already set. Just post a opening scroll or anyother way you can tell the story. Don't get too far down in the details you want the designer to be able to be creative. Plus don't make the stories too big or they might not be able to be done in one level on the map size you choose. No rule contest. This might be called the no rule contest but there are still rules. No rules means that the designer can be totally creative. No storyline or anything else is given. The scenarios can be as different as one about Episode 3 to one about how Boba Fett grew up. This is the type that Brownboot used. A units contest is a contest that the designer has to use the specific units that are given. A example would be: Cpn has to have: Master Skywalker Catagory Contest. This contest is pretty simple. You give a catagory like, I don't know, stealth. Then the designers would have to make stealth scenarios. There are many more types of Contests that are just waiting to be made. It all depens on want you want. The map size The type of contest Are mods allowed? Will music and sounds be allowed? It depends on the person. Some people like to enter for fun. It all depends. When no other contest is in progress. And if you can help it, a few weeks 9or much later probably) after the last one ended. If too many contests are in a ro people will get bored. People have lifes too you know. well obviously yourself. But you should always have more then 1 opinion. Pick people that are experienced designers for judges. Not some noobie that got the game last week. Well good for you. If anyonehas any questions go ahead and ask. Oh, and I'd like to thank Brownboot for starting this whole thing. Oh, and a note from Master Echuu: If you plan to make a contest go ahead and post it here a few weeks before you air it. Or you can e-mail it to me at b_e-mail@comcast.net [This message has been edited by Sith and Jedi (edited 08-06-2005 @ 07:05 PM).]
Units Contest.
Ewok
Vader
Yoda
Boba Fett
Time Period Contest
Tell the time period where the scns must take place and let the designers do their stuff.
Much, much, more.
Here is some things you need to consider:
Others enter for the prize. Some enter for the reconigtion.
Now go out there and make me proud. 
A good point to add about contests is this: FINISH THEM
This is the reason that just about every contest on this forum sucks, because they never get followed through and are left in the dust. With all of these useless threads for the mini scenario contest, it damn well better get finished.
