Hey everyone, my name is Jason from the Randomly Generated Gamers (http://www.youtube.com/user/RandGenGamers). I am currently in the process of organizing a Minecraft (PC) building competition. The plan is to eventually have a multi-stage competition with a different challenge each episode that builds upon an unannounced theme. However, since this is just the beginning we will be doing a single challenge pilot episode to start.
The way this competition works is simple. Competitors will be given a seed and texture pack to use, asked to build near a specific set of coordinates, and then issued a challenge. An example challenge might be to build a lighthouse with certain size constraints. From there the competitors will be given a few days to work on their build at their leisure. Upon completion they will be asked to upload their world files to us. At that point, RGG will begin filming walkthroughs and doing commentary on each submission to create the episode. For the pilot episode the winner will be chosen by a viewer voting system.
There are no prizes for this competition. The goal here is to make this a collaborative community mixer type of event. Each episode will contain a shoutout and link back to each competitor's YouTube channel. In turn, it is highly recommended that each competitor make their own build showcase video with a shoutout and link back to the competition. This means that viewers from each of the competitor's channels will have an opportunity to view the competition and see all the various channels involved, and this will hopefully lead to a sharing of community members and a boost in each channel's viewership.
In future episodes, as part of the longer running series containing multiple themed challenges, the voting system will be changed slightly so that the competitor with the least votes will be eliminated from the competition. Though we would still ask eliminated competitors to continue building and creating showcase videos for their own channel. Even after a competitor is eliminated their participation will continue to be acknowledged with a shoutout and link each episode and as such continued support from their channel is greatly appreciated.
The only mandatory requirements we are asking for is that you be at least 18 years old, have your own YouTube channel, and treat your participation in this collaboration seriously. Though in the event that we end up with more candidates than we have room for we will judge potential competitors first by looking at the quality of their existing content (primarily focused on Minecraft content, though not totally ignoring other work), then by their level of activity (how frequently they post content and how long since their last video), and finally by raw subscription numbers.
If you are interested in participation just let us know in with a reply below, send us a private message, or e-mail us at [email protected] Please include a link to your channel so we may have a look. Thanks!
My apologizes for not responding sooner, YouTube never seems to notify me of messages and I haven't been by the forums in some time. How is the Colab setup going, I saw from the forum post you only needed one more so I assume you have everything in order by now. If your still looking for an opening then I'd love to help out where I can. Let me know at [messaged email], that way I always get the messages. Take care of yourself and best wishes for the success of the project.
FYI, love your YT banner, did you design it yourself or have an artist do it for you?
