Twice a year, a mid-spring and winter event in which anyone who feels competent enough jumps into a three-round 24-hour-each-round event that spans an entire week to script, build, whatever else for the hell of it. Maybe if it becomes big enough, the blog will take notice, and part of winning could be a feature in the blog.

And I'm not talking about some crappily thrown together project run by three guys with a joint account and access to all entries. No, we need to make this as professionally legitimate as possible.

I'm talking:
-Youtube channel for adverts
-24 hr Constant livestream coverage of the participant's stations and their projects during the round
- at least 3 commentators to provide constant coverage of the event

I mean hell, we'll need to provide waivers for consent to record and enter into the event contestants. It would be one of the few requirement; you need a webcam and a program for us to see your computer screen like manycam or fraps.

We need like-
sponsors

I suggest looking into the Ludum Dare before making frivilous comments and assumptions. And this will be a third part event hosted and participated in by the players. The only kind of moderation is for cheating such as copy/pasting scripts.
Any sort of prizes would be either compiled together by the hosts, r donated by Roblox /if/ they care enough to sponsor it. And that's generous compared to the Ludum. All they get is a pat on the back and bragging rights as the winner until next time.

It's hella competitive, and when I say 24 hours, I mean twenty four fucking hours.
You start with nothing, and are given 24 hours to build the most complex/creative working game youcan. Notch, the creator of Minecraft, has participated numerous times. Contestants take full advantage of the time, staying up the whole 24 hours for some of them. That's why it would span a week, so there's a day and a half or so for recuperation after a round. The recording is so viewers can see progress and hear/see the contestants' commentary.

And also:
At the beginning of each round, contestants are required to start over from scratch with a new project.

This reminds me of the 72h mapping competitions that tf2maps.net hosts during the summer.

Imo, It should be 48 hours or more.

Bigger time frame = more people with little time or irregular times can join in. - and easier and longer rests if needed.

If this somehow does happen, I guess I'd be able to judge.

Only issue is, I'm on the bottom half of the world so I'd be in the middle of winter and doing study.

What about free models?
Sometimes I like to use free models when I'm too lazy to make a crane or whatever.

There are no set judges. The judging consists of community vote, completion, quality, creativity, and complexity.

Highly debatable, it'd be decided later. It's not an easy topic to discuss.

Hence the event being bi-annual. A Spring an a Winter. If neither work for you, then I'm sure something could be worked out.
