Song Parody Competition Planning

[Brendino]

Now that I'm (kinda) back on track from my mini LoA, it's time to get this event ready to go, seeing as how the GT is starting in just a few days! Hopefully I'll get the bulk of this done tomorrow, with any last minute touch ups being done by the weekend. Anyway, here's the super complicated checklist:

• Write up thread rules, content, examples, etc.
• Come up with CSS (& logo?) for the thread
• ???
• PROFIT!!!

And just for reference, here are links to the last two editions of the Song Parody Contest at previous GTs:
PokéVision 2012: 10 Years of Happiness ~ PCX Song Parody Contest ~
GT8 PokéParody Competition (aka, the year that voting was rigged causing me to finish 2nd, and bobandbill to come in 1st and 3rd)

Pretty happy with how the rules and CSS came about (posted below)- it'll probably only need some minor tweaking before the GT starts. Still need to work on some emblems and to come up with a scoring system for judging, but other than that, everything else should be good to go!

Speaking of judging, if there's anyone else interested in helping out with this event, please let me know! The few people I've contacted about it are either busy with other events, or they haven't responded to me yet, and I'd rather not leave it too late to finalize the judging team.

Welcome one and all to the Pokémon Song Parody Competition here at PokéCommunity's 12th annual Get-Together!

No matter where you go in the world, one thing that remains constant across countries, religions, and cultures is humanity's love of music. Songs and music can ignite a powerful spectrum of emotions for the listener, with many pieces carrying deep meaning, with a lot of time and effort going into each word and note. With this competition- we want you to give new meanings to your favorite songs by giving them a Pokémon twist! Whether you're replacing some words to give a song a different feel, or completely rewriting the lyrics to match the tune of a song, just make sure that you write something that would make Professor Oak proud!



RuleS

• Make sure you're following all PokéCommunity Global Rules with your entry.
• All entries must be your own original creation. No stealing lyrics from previous parody competitions or elsewhere on the internet. If you're caught cheating, you will be immediately disqualified from the event.
• No more than one entry per competitor. Feel free to tweak or change your entry as often as you like prior to the deadline, but don't submit multiple entries, or else all your submissions will be disqualified.
• All entries must be either Pokémon or PokéCommunity related. Not that we're discouraging any of you aspiring Weird Als out there, but it is a Pokémon parody competition, after all!
• If you wish, you may also sing and record your parody and add it to your entry. While this won't guarantee you a victory, you may earn some extra consideration from the judges towards the final vote!
• The top 3 contestants after voting will receive a gold, silver, or bronze medal emblem respectively. All other members who don't place will receive a participation emblem for their efforts.
• Make sure to follow the submission form below for your entry, or your vote may not be counted (see post #2 for an example sumbission).
