i'd like to see is a contest displaying customs created with or by kids. this would have to be documented with pictures and good faith as there is no real method for verifying kids were involved.
i do many projects with my kids and i'd like to see what other parents are doing with their kids. i have a large customs fodder collection that i would be willing to allow the winner(s) to pick whatever (1) one item they wanted from the stash. me and my boys having fun draft copy of rules, [subject to change as needed] RULES FOR THE KIDS' CUSTOM CONTEST ______________________________________________ 1. CUSTOM MUST BE MADE BY A CHILD AGE 16 OR UNDER WITH SUPERVISION AND ASSISTANCE AS REQUIRED. 2. FIGURE / VEHICLE MUST BE IN 25TH STYLE 3. NO LESS THAT 6 PICTURES IN STAGES OF THE CUSTOMIZATION W/ THE CHILD WORKING. EACH PERSON WILL START THIER OWN THREAD WITH THE FOLLOWING PREFIX; KIDS CONTEST ENTRY:[YOUR PROJECT NAME HERE] EACH PERSON WILL USE THIS THREAD TO DOCUMENT THEIR PROJECT PROVIDING THE MINIMUM REQUIRED IMAGES HOWEVER THE MORE THE BETTER. THIS IS ABOUT SHARING THE EXPERIENCE. POST HERE WITH A LINK TO YOUR PROJECT AND I WILL ADD IT TO THE INDEX. 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 3 (MIN.) IN EACH AGE BRACKET 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 FROM MAY 01 TO MAY 31 . ALL ENTRIES MUST BE POSTED BY MIDNIGHT ON THE 31ST DAY. ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD OR THINK WE SHOULD CHANGE THINGS POST IT HERE SO WE CAN GET THIS BAD LARRY STARTED. KIDS CONTEST PROJECTS INDEX CONFIRMED PRIZES courtesy of arch2b 3 complete loose fangs 3 complete loose claws 3 complete loose cpl. breakers 3 complete loose air troopers 3 moc bazooka troopers 2 moc eels, i will keep looking for a 3rd courtesy of CobraCrimson MOC with Star Case Star Wars Saga Collection (2006-2007) Ultimate Galactic Hunt Throwback Princess Leia Organa (in Combat Poncho) from Episode VI : Return Of The Jedi.

i say a good chance as there are likely not going to be many who enter, not nearly as many as the more serious contests anway.

Maybe have a couple categories.. something like 8 and under and then 9+ I don't know how high you'd really wanna go to call someone a "kid" so I dunno...
Maybe someone else can pony up some prizes.. I got some stuff for free from a local guy, I can probably throw in a vehicle or something.. I think pic requirements might be best, maybe make one a must of the kid customizing the gig/vehicle.. what not(like your pic of them spraying theirs).. As for actual items being customized, I wouldn't limit it, they're kids, but it's a Joe site, so I'm assuming most are Joe fans here.. but if the prizes are Joe themed.. I'd hope someone that enters a custom TMNT wont get mad if they won a GI Joe Jeep in the end, lol Either way, I like this idea, my son's always asking me, "Daddy, when do I get to customize my toys like you?" |

would a moderator please contact me if they would like this to continue?
age groups is a good idea but i'd like to keep it to kids, 16 and under maybe. or maybe 100% kids and then kids and helper (parent/aunt/uncle, etc.) yes, this will be just as much of a pictoral documentary. i'd say one entry per child. i honestly don't expect the kids to do 100% of the work but i do expect people to keep in spirit of the contest which is about the kids having a good time. it would be nice to keep the work joe related being this is a joe forum. like mentioned, i'm not sure how happy a kid would be to get a joe vehicle for a non joe custom entry. i imagine each entrant can start a thread to document thier custom work and experience. i assume the moderators already have a setup to accomodate this format.
