Section you'd like to Judge: Caption Contest

What is your availability like from now through July? For now, I think I'm good time wise.

If selected to be a Judge, would you like your section to be run during the 1st half of PXFIRE or the 2nd Half? This is mainly done on a first come, first serve basis, though it has the potential of being changed if member availability becomes a factor. Excluding Caption Contest, four sections will be active during the first half and the other four will swap out with the others during the second.

No preference.

PART 2 (If submitting for more than one section though you can only Judge one section at max), please fill out the bottom questions for each section you're applying for)

Please note any experience you have with judging/grading things or with giving constructive criticism that would help your judging: Are you applying for Comics and have done comics before? Sure, let us know! We may be looking for people who have a bit more experience in the field to be Judges, but don't let that deter you if you think you can handle judging a section.

I have ran captioning contests before, to some degree of success. I'm also good at writing reviews

Please outline an example challenge or something you might do for your section You don't actually have to use this exact example challenge if you're selected, we just want to get an idea of what to expect from you if you were to be the Judge for this section.

Caption story challenges (where a few screenshots might all be from the same episode, the challenge would be to create some kind of coherent story from the shots and the captions)


Include about 3-5 sentences about how you'd like to run the section and what kinds of ideas you have for it. You don't need to spoil everything and you're totally free to keep your more secretive curveball challenges hidden, but just a general idea of how you would decide to lay things out would be great.

The rules for the caption contest would be mostly the same from last year--there would be bonuses for creative captions (and you could actually lose points for using the same lame joke we've seen a million times)

This time, I want to experiment with using multiple screenshots--creating a kind of story out of the caption or a funny "dialogue" between two characters with the captions, to name a couple examples.
