DeepRoots
Hmm i may post back once i've thought of some more, kinda tired atm..

Competitions:

Super hard theory quiz
Best GMC youtube advert/trailer

Pandora Px5D
Boss rc-2 loop pedal
kaznie_NL
well, we are in need of wiki articles, so a wiki competition can be done!
This will make sure also people who aren't that good with the guitar yet, can win the prizes. I'd love to win a pocket pod, but for the Lick of the Day competition I just don't have any potention. Then a writing prize could be great. It's just to spread the winners a bit.

another suggestion, a theory lesson (text or video) competition or a motivation speech competition (that's a bit weird but possible wink.gif )

succes, kaz

Ok here's some ideas:
Lick Of The Week
Riff Of The Week
Best Composition
Head To Head Solo Tournament/League
Battle Of The Bands(only can be done once the virtual bands get more active :x)

Hmm that's all for now tongue.gif

Well - probably a little marginal as most people don't own instruments they don't pla but what the heck smile.gif

How about a competition for best thread to introduce a band or something? I found so many cool bands on GMC, i think it would work out well smile.gif

Well I understand that would play to your strengths Brett, but how would you make a competition out of that ???

I hunger for your epic answer smile.gif
The Uncreator
It wouldnt actually, seeing as a lot of my threads didnt get answers or responses laugh.gif

But there have been so many awesome bands that ive found out about here (Creep Colony, Textures, Skindred, Rodrigo Y Gabriela). We could have people nominate there favorites, maybe pick a single band they found out about here or something?

It worked well when i was on the Trivium forums, so i thought it would be cool, since this isnt a major thing for GMC, you could make the prize candy or something laugh.gif

EDIT

Wait if i want to play to my strengths, could we have a competition for most threads in "Bands And Artists" forum laugh.gif

And the prize could be....

































A JEM... ph34r.gif
Kristofer Dahl
We need more prize suggestions!

Please suggest things in the price range up to $250

For our ongoing lick competition we could have two line 6 pocket pods as prizes - but that is the exact same as last time so it doesn't feel quite right... What do you say? laugh.gif
Muris Varajic
Pandora PX4D? biggrin.gif

An expensive web cam to aid people in recording their progress. That would be less than 250 dollars. Around 140 dollars for a good one.
The Uncreator
Wah Pedals, Delay Pedals, Reverb Pedals, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser ect.

Any Pedal under $250 smile.gif
Kristofer Dahl
Some awesome suggestions here - keep them coming! biggrin.gif
rokchik
Just a suggestion but you could offer a "Prize Pack" (or whatever you choose to call it). By this I mean you could bundle all kinds of accesseries togther. IE: Picks, capos, slides, guitar care products, cables....even a metronome or GMC T-Shirt smile.gif

superize
As a price there could be free membership on GMC for maybe 3 months

Andrew Cockburn
Ok, got all those, thanks!
kaznie_NL
I think we still need more diffrent types of competitions, to spread the winners as I said earlier. So hmm... an new designer competition, Draw your own guitar, doens't have to be GMC team, but would be cool!

hmm. it's hard to think of none guitar things... But I think it's good to invest some time on that. Just as an example you could get Andrew winning all the guitar playing contests and get's rich due the prices, and Kris wins all the theory prizes (better turn those round laugh.gif ) .

hmmm....highest 16th triplet BMP! that would be great fun, with video.

BTW, those prices are letting the water flow in my mouth.. For a kid, a 150$ Pod is a huge price! Kris, you said the thingie about me and leedbreak should run the place, I'll do it for a Pod laugh.gif No, no joking I actually realy want to do more for the site, but I'll put that in another tread.

Best prizes:
1) Cirse CD (or any other instructors cd..)
2) A lesson of your choice
3) Photo with signature of favourite instructor...

pretty cheap solutions and one day, Pavels photo with signature could be worth a pretty big sum:D
Mark.
A shredneck would also be a cool price ohmy.gif

I think those are great runner up prizes, the signed photo idea is particularly good I think
