A question...
Mon, 14 May 2007, 08:01 amI'm quite bored at the moment and need a new project. I was wondering whether anyone out there has any ideas for something *big* for the industry.
I was thinking:
An independent reviewing/awards system - akin to the Green Room awards, or something.
Or
An online video competition - like stuff you see on Youtube, but more for the local talent in Australia.
Anyone got any comments, ideas, thoughts... I'm willing to put in the admin time, but would love to collaborate with anyone out there who is willing.
Thanks

I had plenty of ideas during 'The Prompt Copy' that I never got around to doing, but most of them required a lot of admin and a lot of money. But some of the ideas are scale-able (like the reviewing thing).
Actually the reviewing/awards could be done quite easily. Take this site; all you need is a forum for reviews. Perhaps a grading system. Anyone can submit a review. Anyone can vote for that show. You could have a people's choice award, as well as awards given out by a small panel of industry people. The thing is all done on the net, which means no problems of including shows from other states. And anyone involved in the show gets the added bonus of a) promoting themselves with the reviewing system, and b) the possibility of a good review for later publicity.
It costs very little (I can easily set something up on my domain name), and is fairly easy to run admin-wise.
It's a thought anyway...
