A question...

I'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.

This is actually the model

This is actually the model I wanted to avoid. The main issue I have with it, is that it limits the number of shows reviewed. A person can only see so many shows (whether they get comps or not), but if everyone can submit a review, then it means that a great number of shows are reviewed over the course of a year. This makes it more fair to the shows who usually don't get reviewed - Melbourne for instance, has more reviews made on shows by medium to large companies, and even during festival times, it is usually the 'hot' new thing getting reviewed. An overseeing panel on the other hand could see as many shows as they can, but aren't encumbered with the whole responsibility of the reviewing process. One is more inclusive, and the other is more exclusive. PLEASE NOTE: ATTACHED IS MY NOTES/IDEAS. FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS/DESTROY/ADD/EDIT. Download here.
