I'm willing to organize it and handle things if you want. i may just need some of the technical help. but i'm down for the kids any day!
ok well, my son is 11 and he loves to custom (he has a big boy kit like dad and everything) i love seeing him come up with ideas. sometimes i think kids are better at customizing than the adults due to their amazing creativity. i propose this: 1. do age brackets. like 12 and under and 13-16. i dont think an 8 year old trying to customize wants to get their work shot down by a 16 year old that has the money and resources to create way better stuff. (artistic honesty guys) 1a. brackets for ages in both figures and in vehicles. so overall there is 4 winners. 2. base the custom on originality, creativity, and overall effort. 3. pictures should be provided in stages. maybe 3 minimum? i can bang out a custom and let my kid hold it, so i think the honor system is a real factor here. 4. I am willing to donate a carded figure to each of the 2 age brackets. i think it would be worthwhile for kids to get the same treatment as the big dogs. hell, i'll throw in a loose vehicle to the winners of each bracket as well! 5. give the kids 30 days to do it. gives them something to do after school. (keeps them away from TRU and target so i can get the good stuff!!!!) 6. Most importantly.....I want the kids to see how much their efforts are appreciated, WINNERS MUST BE POSTED ON THE FRONT PAGE! thats just my 2 cents so , if this thing pops off whoever runs it has to contact me for the info so i can send the prizes in. Any tankers that want to add in on the prize pool FEEL FREE! loose, carded, parts, accessories, anything we got. lets do this big for the kids!

Any tankers that want to add in on the prize pool FEEL FREE! loose, carded, parts, accessories, anything we got. lets do this big for the kids! i am willing to put up say 3 moc figures and about 3 loose vehicles. this should cover top 3 winners in one age group. can we get enough donations to cover top 3 winners in the 2nd age group? honor system is what this has to rely on. anyone can get a kid in a picture but i'm confident fraud won't be an issue. you'd have to be pretty low to cheat kids out of prizes. i'm thinking more pictures are required. maybe 6... i dont' see why pictures would pose a problem. if anything, i don't even upload half of what i take.

ok so thats 5 moc figures and 5 loose vehicles. plus tr1ers slinged guns. thats a great start.(i know we can do better) now we should talk about the age brackets or ranges. i dont want to make it seem like im taking things over, i want this to be a tank wide effort.

please don't see this as my contest. i just wanted to bring up the concept and help get the ball rolling. i happen to have joes to donate and want to give back to the community that i enjoy so much. for me, doing so through a contest that involves kids and customs is what i would enjoy most so i'm more of a facilitator and willing to bank roll a good portion of the prizes. i'll go out and pick up some more moc figures this weekend infact. i'm talking eels and other good ones! i'll pull out my vehicles and get a group together as well.

here goes: RULES FOR THE KIDS' CUSTOM CONTEST ______________________________________________ 1. CUSTOM MUST BE MADE ENTIRELY BY A CHILD AGE 16 OR UNDER. 2. FIGURE / VEHICLE MUST BE IN 25TH STYLE 3. NO LESS THAT 6 PICTURES IN STAGES OF THE CUSTOMIZATION W/ THE CHILD WORKING. 4. AGE BRACKETS WILL BE AS FOLLOWS: AGES 12 AND UNDER / 13-16 FOR BOTH CLASSES OF CUSTOMS 5. THE 2 CLASSES OF CUSTOMS WILL BE FIGURES AND VEHICLES 6. WINNERS WILL BE VOTED ON BY ANY/ALL MEMBERS HERE ON THE HISSTANK. 7. SUBMISSIONS WILL BE JUDGED ON ORIGINALITY, CREATIVITY, AND OVERALL EFFORT. 8. TOP ? WILL RECIEVE PRIZES BASED ON WHAT WE GET FOR DONATIONS TO THE CONTEST (FINAL TALLY OF PRIZES WILL BE UPDATED ONCE WE HAVE THEM IN) 9. CONTEST WILL RUN FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE DECIDED DATE. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE POSTED BY MIDNIGHT ON THE 30TH DAY. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD OR THINK WE SHOULD CHANGE THINGS POST IT HERE SO WE CAN GET THIS BAD LARRY STARTED.

well, entirely by child may be difficult for the young ones like my 4yr old. he requires my supervision and assistance. he has a hard time applying enough pressure to get the paint out of the can for one thing. i'd add something along the lines of supervision and or assitance to the wording. i think we will be able to spot those not being honest with the pictures presented during the documentation. i'll even try to get video with my camera!
who is going to volunteer to corral the prizes? or does that get worked out by each person donating at the end? thread organization will be important as well. maybe add simply directions for how that is to be done would be good.
