To celebrate the second anniversary of my daughter's explosive, joyous and messy arrival into this world, I am running another of my eccentric contests and I have some news about another "special new arrival".
First the contest! As you may know, over the past year I've run a couple of collaborative competitions, aiming to get our collective brain-gussets all sticky and moist with creative juices. So far I've been blown away by the standard of entries and I've really enjoyed the process, so I'm doing it all again! The format: I suggest a theme. Entrants send me a routine, an effect, a work of art, a script, a poem or a story inspired by that theme. I compile all the entries in a beautiful PDF. Every entrant receives a copy of the PDF as a reward for taking part. The only way to receive this PDF is to submit an idea. Some of the entrants also receive a physical prize. These persons are deemed to have "won" and can perform their preferred victory dance. The theme: TV and Film. You can take this wherever you want. Perhaps it's an effect based on a favourite TV show or movie scene. Perhaps you want to write up a routine that uses a television or an old movie projector as a prop. Maybe you have a script for a bizarre TV pilot clogging up your hard-drive, that simply must be shared. It is up to you. Surprise me. But not with the old "popcorn trick", please. Ewwww! What's wrong with you? The rules: Send entries to totalcult[AT]gmail[DOT]com Subject Line: "TV&Film Submission" Closing date for sending entries: 12 noon, GMT, November 27th. Judging: My criteria for picking "winners" are secret, arcane and completely arbitrary. Like cod, I move in mysterious ways. However, previous contests have taught me that there is no prize I can bestow that will match the brilliance of the PDF - that's where the gold lies, in the ideas you guys share. So there are no losers, because everyone gets the top prize, the PDF. Any questions? Please post below!

Sweet, time to marinate my brain in its own creative juices for hours until tender and delicious new thoughts emerge.
And happy birthday to your daughter. |

Is is all right, in terms of submissions, that they are exploring themes and archetypes of TV/Film and not specific films or shows themselves?
I guessing so, but that's where I'm headed now, just wanna check with the boss.

As if playing along, BBC news reports today of a trial involving this TV stand.
I have something that I hope to "package neatly" as well for this. Please, join the collusion.

Fantastic news. I was worried it was going to be a bit of a fizzer, but four more entries is excellent news. Well done to all the contributors.
