Goal:To provide images (personal or public) gathered in various ways (personal camera + upload is presumably ideal, though there are some very funny and unique images out there on the great internet) of each scavenger hunt item, and receive points related to both effort and creativity. Oh and don't forget to have fun!
Example: Hypothetical Scavenger Hunt Item #14 is "Mouse". Clan A decides to use an image they found online of a cartoon mouse being all cute-like. Clan B decides to use an image one of their members has taken personally with his cell-phone camera of a mouse scampering across the floor in his basement (yipe!). Clan C decides to use an image of a computer mouse. All three entries are fine!
How to submit your images: Only one image allowed per Scavenger Hunt Item. Each participating clan's entire collection of images is to be submitted to me via a single PM (DO NOT POST THEM HERE!) before the contest deadline. Next to each image in a given PM, please include "From Internet" or "Original".
Point system: Points will be awarded per image in the following fashion:
+1 Point for an image taken from the internet +2 Points for an original image (taken/created by you or someone in your clan) +1 Point awarded in addition to the image deemed "Most Creative" of all the entries for each given item number (to be judged by myself and the Clan Forum Moderators: ). -1 Point if your image is the same (identical!) as another submitted image. This subtraction will be waived if your image is an original image (and if we get two identical original images, well, something fishy is up...).
How it will end: Once the deadline for the contest has passed, I will post each clan's submissions to this thread. One week after this (giving time for everyone to see everyone's submissions, for suspense to build, and for voting on the "Most Creative" entries) I will post the calculated scores of each clan, including the data on which image for each item entry was selected "Most Creative", and distribute the Gold, Silver, and Bronze titles!!!! The winners will of course be determined by highest total points.
Thanks to Xanth for creating an amazing template for Scavenger Hunts. And good luck to all the Clans!
I'm still waiting for an entry from [Pack]. Entries will be accepted until 23:59 today, albeit with a -1 CotYR penalty and a -5 contest ranking penalty.
Late entries will not be accepted if at least 5 clans submit, with exceptions based on individual contest needs.
In the event of less than 5 submissions an appropriate extension will be issued. Late entries will be penalized by one contest point for every 24 hour period past the deadline.
Looks like there were only 4 entries, so there is some leeway for late entries.
That said, we need a reasonable amount of time to judge an entry, so don't get mad if we DQ your clan for submitting something in three days. -5 contest points for lateness seems fair.
eds - although that won't be an issue, Eventide has put down a firm 24 hour late entry window;
You had seventeen days officially, plus I left the list up during the sign up period. If you're late, you get penalized. No entries will be accepted more than 24 hours past the deadline.
mo'eds – The -1 point penalty referred to above is against the CotYR points earned for this contest, as determined by the contest point rankings.
How it will end: Once the deadline for the contest has passed, I will post each clan's submissions to this thread. One week after this (giving time for everyone to see everyone's submissions, for suspense to build, and for voting on the "Most Creative" entries)
Do we not get to see the valid submissions before the final judging commences then?
I thought we would be able to see them before that point.

As did I. It does seem like that where it talks about that.
It doesn't really matter, I was just slightly looking forward to seeing everyone's entries.
Crap on toast. Well, that's what I get for not double-chekcing what I stole borrowed from the last contest. I'll try and get all the entries up by tomorrow night. Right now, I have to put the finishing touches on a CCL Signup and a job application.

May your games be chaotic and your decks be Rogue.
@Eventide, it's not a big deal:) I don't really care, there was only a slight curiosity.
So no worries from this end.
Good luck with the job and ccl process.
Oh wow. Really diggin' the [Crafters]s entries.
The Family's seeker is also amazing. As I am an avid and frequent nose picker, I can't believe I didn't think of it.
Kudos to everyone.
Thanks to all the Clans who participated. There was a bit of discussion regarding certain entries, and even some disagreement between the judges as to who had the most creative entry for several submissions. In the end, a winner will emerge for Clan Contest #2 for 2011.

Most Creative: [The Family]. It is the only picture where traveling is captured in the still. Had [The Crafters] used their Knight-Errant entry here, I think it would have won over the geese. Also, the judges were shocked that [Called] didn't have an entry, given all the traveling involved to take the pictures that made up their entry. The Mars rovers were similar enough that we felt the duplicate penalty should be applied.

Before the final scoring, late penalties must be assigned. After much internal deliberation, I've decided to only make it a -2 to the overall score. This decision was made before I started tallying the scores. This penalty will be applied after all scoring to [CMB], [The Izzet], and [Called].
That is DigicoolMom holding the dm handbook, btw.
She said she's Mrs. Digipendent, lol.
She is super pregnant, so any picture I take of her, she's ready for blood.
I thought a DM was the ultimate Sojourner.

Most Creative: [The Family]. [Soundtrack] submitted what I had originally considered to be the perfect image, but I remember my teachers from back in the day and the impact they had on my life. This was a tricky call for the judges.

Most Creative: [The Family]. A jewelers' scale and a Beta Ancestral Recall. If gold hadn't shot up in price the last few years, that picture would have been completely accurate. Now you need a Mox.

Most Creative: [The Family]. Do we even need an explanation? Personally, I think the Statue of Commerce outside the New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas shouldn't count, but it is a symbol.

Most Creative: [The Crafters]. I think this was the most disappointing set of entries for the judges. No one thought of MC Hammer (*cough*Soundtrack*cough*)? Or Hank Aaron? Akane Tendo from Takahashi Rumiko's Ranma 1/2, the source for the term Hammerspace? Gaelic hammer toss was a consideration, but dueling hammers won out.

Most Creative: [House Dimir]. To me, an embrace is not a caress. However, some of the judges are saps for family time with kids.

Most Creative: [The Crafters]. The duplicate Smiths got knocked, and, while Connery as Bond is the ultimate Agent, the split decision went to the guy in the trenchcoat (I still say he's a flasher).

Most Creative: [CMB]. The three little kids were so similar, the judges thought a penalty should be applied. The rules, however, negate the penalty for similar original images. At that point, the pumpkins won.

Most Creative: [The Family]. It is the only picture where traveling is captured in the still. Had [The Crafters] used their Knight-Errant entry here, I think it would have won over the geese. Also, the judges were shocked that [Called] didn't have an entry, given all the traveling involved to take the pictures that made up their entry. The Mars rovers were similar enough that we felt the duplicate penalty should be applied.

Most Creative: [House Dimir]. Time out is a classic form of 'exile.'
Before the final scoring, late penalties must be assigned. After much internal deliberation, I've decided to only make it a -2 to the overall score. This decision was made before I started tallying the scores. This penalty will be applied after all scoring to [CMB], [The Izzet], and [Called].

She said she's Mrs. Digipendent, lol.
She is super pregnant, so any picture I take of her, she's ready for blood.
I thought a DM was the ultimate Sojourner.
