Stage of the Month could work, as long as the same user isn't allowed to win in succession since we would just have ExShadow winning every month.

I think we should consider doing something for screenpacks/stages. Maybe bi-annually like Cyanide had originally suggested. The same user should be allowed to win in succession if he/she's constantly voted for IMO, you could hold it up to the people to nominate then hold a poll and vote their chosen creations like COTM/Y.

I think anything else such as lifebars, palettes, portraits, etc. shouldn't hold a competition.

I'm a fuffy.

Stages can be more often. Screenpacks should either be bi-annual or annual. In addition to that, screenpack UPDATES should not be counted unless there is a SIGNIFICANT change (such as low res Win to Hi-Res 1.0).

English fluency I am swear!

Bi-annual or annual awards for screenpacks sounds good.
Stage of the month kinda seems too often, but I agree with Jesuszilla that stages can be more often than once or twice a year.
Perhaps it could be every 3 months?

I guess something official should be said here so this discussion doesn't go on for infinity

We need someone to volunteer to do these awards. Saikoro was interested in helping with the Character Awards so he may be interested here too.
Would there be a different star given or would I just rename the COTM star to Creation of the Month or something? Would we use a star that had been dropped like the orange one?

Anyway, who here would be interested in running it?

Alright everyone.

I'm taking the helm here for screenpacks and stages of the month. Right now I'm brainstorming ideas and they're mostly based off of what feedback I'll see through here along with some ideas I have.

I'm thinking along the lines of keeping it simple and very similar to how Character of the Month works. One idea I am rolling with is making separate threads for them. While that's obvious I wanted to state that fact.

I'm also completely new to this procedure so I've got a few things to work with, iron out and learn.

Also, palettes will remain the same as portraits and be considered a contribution. I'm also leaning towards keeping contribution rules the same and leaving the purple star as is. Anyone can be a contributor but the extra stars will come from recognition from characters, screenpacks and stages.

Start kicking ideas around guys!!

Do we really need something like this for screenpacks? I really don't see how this would work to be completely honest, and they're really scarce. Shouldn't the award be that people use your screenpack and let that be good enough? I mean what makes a screenpack good? What makes one better than the other? Does something like an Hloader screenpack that focus on a good look and better image with lots of custom portraits beat something like Jesuszilla's and Jmorphman's screenpack edits that better in user preference and easier customization?

I know I don't really make these a lot and they're bare and decent at best but I just don't think you could compare and compete those so easily. That's just me though.

Hmmm... You bring up a good point. I'm using today as a brainstorming session and I'm going to start a thread asking for feedback regarding this. I'm aiming for Stages and Screenpacks but I suppose Stages will do fine by themselves.

I'm going to repeat my suggestion of "creation of the year/month". You could also consider a Misc. or wildcard category for all the stuff that doesn't fit in with characters/stages. A wildcard category could also include tools

I like the wildcard idea.

Fuel for the pondering flame.

I plan to make a thread come tomorrow since things at work got a little busy today. Expect a thread pertaining to all of this come Saturday or Sunday at the very latest.

I dunno, one could make the same argument for characters (totally accurate straight conversion from KOF vs. originally sprited character, or something).

Why not honor them, if only once a year or something?

I think yearly would be fine. There's a nice chunk of screenpack releases within the year usually.

@lith's point:

I see what you mean completely. But at the same time it's the same exact thing for characters and would be in any other competition that doesn't have a series of judges to decide what's the best.

tbh with the different varieties of things you can make for mugen the logistics of choosing a winner for this would be completely chaotic. are we supposed to vote for a screenpack, stage, whatever each month?
not to mention non-character releases are slower than character ones, so instances where theres only one candidate may not be rare

if you really want a shiny star one thing we could do is to make a thread where people can suggest which contributor gets the title each month, it doesnt have to be a contest, really..

but thats just me, it seems more of a chore, sorry

stage of the month sounds reasonable. and doable.

You guys are right.

Ban competitions, they create negativity.

Alright fine but let's leave that until 2015, I already have some ideas.
