(original post, leaving for reference purposes )

Hey people. I suppose first off I should begin with a quick introduction. My name is Darren. While I am fairly new to the whole living machines fandom, it's always been an interest of mine as far back as I can remember. I met LightningCato a while back and after a couple commissions were done, I found myself fairly invested in this group.

Having been an administrator of (the rather defunct) Pregfur.org and the still mostly active group pregfurs we have done a few contests in the past. Most of them had a great turnout so I figured why not try it here.

So here's my idea... Stuck in the mud! Any living vehicle; car, truck, plane, tank, etc. is accepted. Before anything I want to be sure this would perk enough interest. So, if people are interested please let us know below.

If we go forward, we'll set a start date and give around 3-weeks for the submissions. Upon this date, we'll accept votes for one week. Voting will be performed by a poll system is available, but sending notes will be our failsafe...

As for prizes, being dA I figured we could provide both cash money and points. For starters, I will donate at least $25 to this contest, perhaps more depending if there's enough interest Anyone willing to donate additional funds towards it would be greatly appreciated. Information where to send money or points will be provided as soon as we confirm this is a go. Once we determine how much money and how many points we have, we'll determine winning amounts. IE, if we have $75, we could have $50 for first, $20 for second, $5 for third... or something along these lines.

Side note about points/cash... I'm looking into ways to convert points to dollars. So we may be able to provide cash to people who just want cash or points to people who'd rather have those. More on this later...

So once again, please express your opinions, suggestions, whatever... The sooner we feel this has a decent following, the sooner we can get started
