I'd like to put forward an idea

I enjoyed hosting and judging the AMV contest so I think we should do that again.

The Heavenly AMV contest.
Enter your best christmas or holiday season themed AMV and let them all duke it out in the grand arena. This time the AMVs won't be judged, they will be voted upon. :p

If this event is accepted, I'd like help hosting that contest. I too enjoyed that AMV contest, but it'd be even more fun to actually host it this time.

Wow that's a great Idea :D! I wouldn't mind co-hosting this, I love watching Anime videos :)!
 
We'll I'm definitely in for some isketch this Chirstmas! I figured Fabio would be hosting the Photography contest XD I can't wait for that singing contest as well!

I would suggest a Christmas Theme Contest for theme Signatures and such just like Halloween! (Don't really really have a description yet) I wouldn't mind hosting that as well.

On second thoughts It would be nice to be on of the hosts of iSketch. I know there were a few people who missed out last time around my timezone (Aus and NZ and a few others) and I want to make sure they have a chance too!

Other ideas I've got but I wouldn't host would be: An Art Contest for Digital Art and Graphics Contest.

Can't think of anything atm but I'll post if I do!

Not sure if someone mentioned this here as I was looking through this thread quickly, but here it goes.

Winter Writing Contest
A one shot/short writing competition and the theme's Christmas/New Years (can be either one or both). The stories can be anything as long as it's Christmas/New Years related.

I'm going to step down hosting this one because I hosted two writing competitions here before and I want to enter one for a change. XD Didn't enter the creepypasta one cause I was busy with real life stuff. D:
 
I wouldn't mind hosting another art competition, if you would have me. It would be a holiday/winter-themed contest spanning three rounds. Each round would have its own separate theme and after every round a team of judges would find a winner. At the end of the Carousel, the winning entries of each round would either be voted on or judged to find an overall winner. The rest would be named runners-up. I think it would also be cute if each theme was the title of a Christmas song or carol, but that probably wouldn't work out, lol.

I did co-host the last contest, so I would like to see someone else get the chance this time. Still, my mornings and nights should be free throughout the Carousel (minus New Year's Eve and possibly Christmas), so I don't see the harm in volunteering.
 
Christmas Caroling Showdown
Sing your hearts out with Christmas spirit in this little, but fun, singing competition!

Sort of ties in with what I suggested a week or so ago.

Write the Best Pokémon Themed "12 Days of Christmas"

The idea is to hold a competition to see who can come up with the best Pokémon version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" carol.

For example: "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a Pidgey in a pear tree." (I'm sure peeps can come up with something better than that).

Then the one that's judged to be the best gets to be sung by all willing community members and edited together for a lovely PokéCommunity Christmas vid. ^^ (Of course if that carol is too specific then we can always broaden it to any carol).

If it goes ahead then I'm OK for hosting it, but I will need a couple of judges to make things fairer. :) What do you guys think?

I'd gladly accept you two as Co-hosts (Depending on the rules if it allows that many co-hosts) as long as you make sure to participate in the hosting. :3 I am already formulating a way to count the votes and keep them generally private. :p
 
We've decided (so far) on the events that will be taking place in the Christmas Carousel. Keep on posting your ideas, we're not done yet!

Shivi is updating the event list with the events and corresponding hosts.
 
I was kind of thinking about an event along the lines of the photography event mentioned earlier in this thread. Allow me to explain; contestants will find/take a picture of any tree (classic christmas tree, the tree sitting in your backyard, etc.) and use photo-editing software such as Photoshop and the like to edit the tree. The edits would be things that would be found on a tree during the holiday season, such as lights or ornaments.
Basically, it would be a tree decorating contest, but with photo-editing.
 

The Christmas Event! List

Carol of the Bells (Hosted by Patchisou Yutohru & Hiiro)
Like any event we have here, there's a chat that goes along with it pertaining to the actual event. This time, it's the holiday season! Ignore the other DCCs we have during this time!! This is where it's gonna all go down. Get your stockings hung, your chimneys swept and bake those cookies! Get ready, 'cause Santa Claus is comin' to town.

Baby New Year (Hosted by Patchisou Yutohru)
Baby New Year has gone missing and it's up to you to find where he is. During the time of the Carousel, there'll be hints and clues throughout the actual forum for you to find him. Find one clue, jot it down, and you'll find another clue on the other side. Finding all the clues will lead you to the new year!

Frosty Lens Photography Contest (Hosted by Forever and Captain Fabio)
Did Frosty get too close? Uh oh, better get that cleared up! This is your standard photography contest based around an X amount of Seasonal/Christmas themes. The event will most likely consist of three rounds.

Deck the Skype Convo (Hosted by Fuyuhiko. Co-host needed)
Gather around the fireplace with many PC members on Skype. Here you'll talk about Christmas stories, songs, the food, the gifts, the decorations, the list is endless.

'Tis the Season to be Gaming (Hosts Needed)
Are you a hardcore gamer or just a casual player? Whatever you may be, join the rest of your friends and foes and face off against one another for the holiday season. The host(s) of this event will choose a select number of days/nights and titles for players to participate in.

PC's Winter Wi-Fi Tournament (Hosted by Wolflare & Aurafire)
It's all in the title really. Put on your winter jackets and snow boots, because we're heading outside for this one! For all those who enjoy Pokémon Competitive Battling, then come show off your skills and strategies against other trainers just like you for the holidays.

Christmas in Unova (Hosted by Kaori & Forever)
Black and White will be painted in red and green this Christmas, because we're celebrating Christmas in Unova! You can participate in the creativity competition, the Pokemon crossword or the word slueth, or even better, all three! They all last throughout the duration of the carousel, so you have lots of time to enter the competition or have a try at the other two events.

Santa WHO? (Hosts Needed)
Are you a fan of trivia? Held over at PokéCommunity's IRC will be PC's very own Christmas / New Year Trivia Event. I hope you asked for a shiny, red buzzer this Christmas, because you'll need it over there!

iSketched You a Mistletoe (Hosts Needs)
Now kiss me for the holidays! Fan of doodling or just drawing for the fun of it even though you're not the best artist in town? Well, like Pictionary, iSketch is the online version where one draws an image, and the others try to guess what it is. Of course this isn't just any ordinary iSketch game! It's Christmas all around!

Christmas Caroling Showdown (Hosts and Judges Needed)
"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!" Lalala, do you think you have what it takes to sing some of your favorite Christmas carols? Join in on the fun. Good or bad, just have fun singing a favorite Christmas song of yours and see if you have what it takes to beat the rest of little carolers in town!

The Heavenly AMV Contest (Hosted by Pachy)
Enter your best Christmas or holiday season themed AMV and let them all duke it out over a snowball fight! This time the AMV's won't be judged; they will be voted upon.

Writing Christmas All Over Again (Hosts and Judges Needed)
Have any storming ideas ready to be written or typed? Then how about taking part in PC's Winter Writing Contest!? A one shot/short writing competition and the theme is Christmas/New Years (can be either one or both). The stories can be anything as long as it's Christmas/New Years related.

Write the Best Pokémon Themed "12 Days of Christmas" (Hosted by Kip. Co-hosts / Judges needed)[FONT=&quot]
The idea is to hold a competition to see who can come up with the best Pokémon version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" carol. For example: "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: a Pidgey in a pear tree." Do you have the creativity it takes to make it through the very top? There's only one way to find out...

Paint Me a Winter Wonderland (Hosts and Judges Needed)
Drawing, digital art, if you're an artist and want to test out that new art kit you got this Christmas, come take part in the Christmas Art Contest. This event will be centered around the Christmas season and/or the New Years where those who enter must draw pieces that best fit the theme given.

Joy to the Photoshop (Hosts and Judges Needed)
Not so much into drawing, but are better skilled in the graphics department? Photoshop, Gimp, and all your other graphic designing softwares are lighting up for the holidays. Can you design the best tag, icon, or large piece (hosts may decide on what to use) for this season's graphic competition? [FONT=&quot][/FONT]
Took some time thinking up some creative descriptions and got some help with the creative titles, but here's what we've got so far folks! A majority of the suggested events have been added along with a few corresponding hosts on the first post.

Further hosts / co-hosts and events will be added as Nick and I continue to discuss them further.[/FONT]
 
I will gladly co-host with anybody if they ask me~
It's not like I'm already co-hosting an event

I will be very happy to co-host this event with you Kip! :) Please PM me Patchy if accepted? Or whoever is in charge. ;)
 
I'm probably just gonna host the iSketch... I actually want to participate in more events this time round!

Lolz Hiiro and Patchisou Yutohru makes the coolest names for the events!
 
Does this mean, that all of the suggested events that are not on this current list, that were posted before the list was put it, aren't approved? (If that makes sense)?

Well I'd happily host "Joy to the Photoshop" since my event I don't think was approved. :(
But on the positive note at least I can host another one! :D
