*I asked around and I got the greenlight from Locke to make this thread; I know well that it could serve as a blog but the aim is to get publicity. I do not know where to put it, so general discussion it is until a mod decides otherwise.

As you may or may not know, I had been pushing for a new Competition to come in - the type where you would record a clip or a couple of segments of gameplay, render them together using whatever programs you have, and upload them to YouTube to pit them against other players' clips within specified parameters.
A couple of posts I've made in the past have said effectively what these two posts - by Krazy4Krash and myself - say:

Being an impatient person, I've also volunteered to have "challenges" for my Zelda Game of the Month Group, as you can see here:
(April's challenge was a long one consisting of several dungeons in Ocarina of Time with the three heart challenge) April *Challenge* - Ocarina of Time 3HC Deku Tree through Jabu Jabu
(May's challenge - the latest one - consists merely of 100% completing Woodfall Temple in Majora's Mask) May *Challenge* - Woodfall Temple + All Fifteen Stray Fairies
(Krazy won April's challenge) Congratulations to Krazy4Krash! - Blogs - Dungeon Gaming Network
Here are a couple of videos showcasing segments of April's challenge:
[ZD Video Competition] - Zelda OoT Submission Example *Emulator* - YouTube
[ZD Video Competition] - Ocarina of Time [2/3] - YouTube
Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly - YouTube
Dodongo's Cavern - YouTube
So as you can see, there is some support - I think the problem is that we have not been vocal enough about it.
What worries me, though, is this message from Djinn:
There's a lot of truth to that. It's Springtime so people are likely getting done with school and thus won't have much time to participate. However, Summertime is just around the corner and thus people will have more time to participate then. What I'm wondering is, is there anyone at the very least INTERESTED in these competition?

The competitions are somewhat slowing down and I think a video competition might have the smallest amount of interest overall. There have been a few suggestions for them in the past, it is just that not many have gotten on board for it so far.
