New Academy Awards Hypercross Contest

New Academy Awards Hypercross Contest

It’s been two years (wow, really?) since we last did this with BEATLES SONGS, so I think it’s more than time we do this again.


The Second Official Tanga Hypercross Clue-Making Contest
The category: Best Picture Winners

Here’s how it works:

• Everyone can submit TWO (2) entries. Two only, please.

• Your entry must be a 400×300 pixel Hypercross clue whose answer is the title of a Best Picture Winner. For the purpose of this contest, your answer must come from this list: http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/oscarlegacy/bestpictures/index.html
and must use the spelling from this list, as well.

• All entries should be Tangagram’d privately to me with the Subject Line OSCAR HYPER. Do not post them here, on this thread… not that you could if you wanted to, as I’ve disabled that feature :)

(how to do this: after you send a TG, you can then go back and EDIT it to add a picture file)

• When I feel I have enough “good” answers, I’ll build the Hypercross (or more likely ask Murdoctor to do it :P) and Feature it for all to solve.

DISCLAIMER: Since this will be a Featured Hypercross, “good” will be determined by me and will be entirely subjective. If I get multiple versions of the same answer, I’m gonna choose the clue that I think is the best version, regardless of whether it was the first version submitted. If that eliminates BOTH of your clues, I’ll TG you and give you the chance to create an additional entry.

• That essentially means there is no DEADLINE for entries, but since I’m planning to Feature this Hypercross on Sunday, February 27 – the night of the Academy Awards – let’s just say the cut-off is 7pm, Tanga time, on Wednesday, February 23. That gives everyone a week.


Determining Winners
In addition to being able to solve this Hypercross when it’s Featured, users will also be asked to VOTE for their THREE (3) favorite clues. All votes will be public – posted in the Comment Field for the puzzle – and are worth ONE (1) point each.

There will be two categories of winning:

1) Favorite Clue, as determined by the solvers
This will be the clue that gets the most points from everyone who DIDN’T enter the contest. People who created clues may not vote for winners in this category.

This winner gets: 300 Tanga Points.

2) Favorite Clue, as determined by the entrants
All people whose clues made it into the Hyper will be required to vote for THREE (3) clues, and CANNOT vote for their own clue. Aaron and I will also be voting in this category, mostly to break ties.

This winner gets: 150 Tanga Points.

DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right to solve/correct anything I may need to as we go along.

Mods are perfectly eligible to enter. And yes, there will be badges.

Okay, I’m sure there will be questions and stuff, but for now… let the contest begin!
