So, you want to be an Imagineer? Competition Sign-ups

[DisneyParksFan]

Hello and welcome.

I assume that if you are reading this thread, you are not only interested in Disney Theme Parks but you are also interested in imagining and engineering your own Disney-styled projects…thus being interested in the art of Imagineering.

This is where we ask the question… “So, you want to be an Imagineer?”

Well here is your chance, or at least as close as you can get!

Here, on , we are looking for the Imagineer in all of you. We are asking everybody and anybody that is interested in Imagineering and creating projects (such as attractions, restaurants, etc…) to keep reading and then to hopefully sign up below.

What exactly is this?

This is a competition where the contestants are given a project (generally a new project weekly or bi-weekly) and then asked to complete it and then turn it in on the given due date to be judged.

Note: This competition will for the most part take place over the summer and possibly into the beginning of September. If you feel like you can not compete because of time issues, please do not sign up.
Some projects can be demanding while others are more laid back, it all depends on the contestant.

Judges for your competition:

Your judges for this competition are DisneyParksFan, imagineer_me, and tiki. Each project is asked to be turned in to the email provided:


soyouwanttobeanimagineer-at-yahoo.com

to send the email to the address, simply remove the ' -at- ' and replace it with the sign ' @ '.

Competition Details:

From there, each judge will read the contestants project and then grade it.
The grading scale is based on a number scale of usually 0-100. The point scale does very from project to project, please see current project for its grading scale.
Along with grading with a point system, the judges are asked to give a short amount of critique, either good and/or bad. There is no set limit to the amount of critique a judge is asked to give nor always will all contestants receive the equal amount of critique.

***Please send in the projects on the due date only. If the project needs to be turned in earlier, please contact a judge for information. Late projects will result in a loss of points (amount of points lost varies from project to project). All late projects must still be turned in to the email provided. Please do not post early, on time, or late projects in the thread and please do not send them via pm to one or all of the judges***

After each project is read and graded, one of the judges will post the project in the current project thread for all VF members to read. Along with the projects are their point values (i.e. 90/100).

After each project is completed, at least one contestant will leave the competition. This pattern will continue until there is one winner.

Because this is the first time this competition is being held on this site, the first round will be a non-elimination round.

Remember…the more contestants, the more fun this will be!

Hey everybody! You've gotta signup! Me and DPF have alot of awesome projects planned. It'a gonna be lots of fun and will hopefuly help you grow in your creative skills. As I said before, sign up! The more people the better!

[Big Disney Fan]

I'd love nothing more than to sign up, but unfortunately, I can't, because I've got plans for the summer. I'm sorry.

[CostaFreak]

I've got plans for the summer too, but the longest trip is only a week, so you know what:

Count me in!

[tiki]

hey all, I'm new to VF, but I was the one who invented this concept in the first place as "The Imagineer" on MouseTimes. It started as an indipendent game in the trivia section but it's grown to a full blown competition on the site. I'm very proud to see the concept grow to other sites and I'm happy to step aboard as a judge :)

[imagineer_me]

Okay so far we have CostaFreak!

[maul2]

Well, count me in. I'm basically a hermit in the summer, except for maybe a week, so this will be a fun distraction.

ImagineerMe and DisneyParksFan and Tiki. Can you guys enter to? cause if your judging...

Anyway, should be fun

[imagineer_me]

^ Welcome to the game maul2.

No we will not be competing in the contest. We will be judges only.

[DisneyParksFan]

As you can see, the email is blocked above in the main post.

We still want the projects to be submitted to the email address, not through posting or private messaging.
Having it sent to to the email address will make it much easier for the judges to read through the projects.

the email address is:

soyouwanttobeanimagineer-at-yahoo.com

to send the email to the address, simply remove the ' -at- ' and replace it with the sign ' @ '.

Thank you,

Will there be another competition like this next year? Maybe I can sign up then.

[DisneyParksFan]

It's difficult to say right now.

This is the first time we are doing this style of competition here on Visions. If this year turns out to be a success by some means, we would probably bring it back next year.
If it doesn't go so well, it may or may not return. It all depends mainly on how this year goes.

Sorry you cant be a part of the competition.

Hello Im kinda new (well, actually VERY new to the site,I just registered)
and I was wondering if I could join?It sounds very cool!

[imagineer_me]

^ Sure. Welcome aboard.

Just four more days for signing up everyone. Please sign up. It's gonna be lots of fun!

[tiki]

three members so far, if we could get more then four that'd be great, we did a season of The Imagineer with MouseTimes and it was 4 members and it was alot of fun. If you guys don't get more then like 6 people I reccomend you do three projects, combine all the scores, and then eliminate the lowest scoring, that way we could space the game out more and have more projects :)

[DisneyParksFan]

Ok, that's a possible idea.
I'm shooting for at least 6 people, hopefully a few more sign up.
