BILF 2013!?!?!?!?! (the pregame thread)
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2012 2:37 pm
Well due to the success of last years BILF contest I thought we could start prepping for the 2013 edition. We've been discussing some things in the old stickied thread but I felt that we should put this out to the masses to get your opinions.
First up is categories, we've assembled a list of possible categories and want to see what people would like to enter in. The idea so far is to have more than just pedalboard categories, so we've expanded the list to cover numerous subjects. If we go this route each person would only be able to enter one category, and there would be no Fuzz Master General, just individual category winners. And with the mods approval we were thinking the prizes should be custom titles for each winner. I.E. my title would go from "Famous" to "Best Full Rig Winner BILF 2013" We also need to decide how many overall categories we would have from the list below, my Idea was to keep it around 5 or 6 total categories.
So here's the categories to choose from: (this is by no means an all inclusive lit)
Cat 1) Full Rig (Amp, Board, and Guitar/Bass)
Cat 2) Best Overall Pedal Board (post count 250 and up)
Cat 3) Best Single Guitar
Cat 4) Best Single bASS
Cat 5) Best Newb Board? (250 post count / 6 months active time and under)
Cat 6) Best OMD (other musical device)
Cat 7) Best DIY pedal build (would require external and gut shots, and soundcloud demo)
Cat 8) Best Guitar Collection
Cat 9) Best Bass Collection
Cat 10) Best Guitar Pedalboard
Cat 11) Best Bass Pedalboard
Cat 12) Best Noise Pedalboard
Second thing I'd like to discuss is the time frame. I was thinking the picture submission period would be January 5th-12th (to allow x-mas presents and pedals purchased with x-mas funds to show up), with voting starting January 19th and running through the 31st.
Third, in the other discussion I was been nominated / volunteered to run this years BILF (which i think should be called "Battle for ILoveFuzz" since this year since it will encompass more than boards) and am willing to take this on, but if anyone has a better candidate or would like to assist me in this, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
So what say ye oh mighty ILF?
