The next contest could be that you make a tamagotchi cartoon( in pages) and it has to be at least 5 pages long. And also, you can't copy any cartoon part from someone else. There will have to be at least 3 characters. SO, that's my idea.
Edit:because I got a vocabulary mistake.

Yes, I do live in the USA. My idea for a contest:

Since it is summer, we should write a made up Tamagotchi that is "Summer Tama". You make any design you wish, but you'll also need to make a charater chart for "Summer Tama" and on the bottom you'll have to tell the charaters name.

Rules:

1): You cannot copy other desgins or charaters, everyone must make their own.
2): You cannot copy any charaters from the V1-V6 TMGC+C. TMGC iD or the Tama-Go.
3): I'm making this one (If I win) when the dead line for the contest be (But the Guides or Admin could I don't mind.)

Well this is my contest result! Thanks!


To let yu guys know, I don't want the Kutchipatchi Tama-Go or Figure, because I already have it. (I hope I wasn't pushy )

I do live in USA.

My idea for a future contest is to come up with a song for some tamaggotchi characters!

The Rules
1)You must at least mention 8 characters or more.
2)It has to at least rhyme a little.

[BurntSnow]

I live in the USA. My idea would be a caption contest. It's simple and everyone is able to try. Rules-
1. The caption must be appropriate.
2. Tamatalkers can provide no more than 2 captions.

[vampiretchi]

i do live in the us. california to be exact
my idea for the next contest is to make a tama story about the starting of school since summer is almost over. the characters are optional and you also can use characters you make up. there has to be a funny problem throughout the story and at the end the characters solve the problem. you can add pictures or if you dont want to you dont have too, but at the beginning you have to draw the characters out(doesnt matter how good or bad at drawing you are-drawing it is just for fun)
Edit- put the state i live in

I <3 My country! USA! USA!
My idea is come up with a story about tamagotchis!
1.There must be at least 3 pages.
2.There must be at least 2 real or made up tamagotchi characters.
3.There must be a problem and solution.
4. Any and all mention of cussing, alchohol, or drugs will be a disqualified entry.
5. The setting could be in the real world, or on tamatown online/in a tamagotchi(v1-v7 etc)
6. You can optionaly could draw a picture for the cover.
7. The title can NOT be Tamagotchi
8. If you do make up a character, you must describe him/her so everyone sees what's in your mind or draw a picture.


That is my idea for the contest. I love the idea of a contest for a contest! LOL! And also, good luck to everyone who entered!

Hello Admin!

The rules said to reply to the post, but when I clicked "+AddReply" it wouldn't allow me to, so I'm guessing and hoping that this is how you intended to receive replies. I apologize if it is not.

My idea for the next Tamagotchi contest would be to challenge TamaTalkers to narrate their own short story or comic strip featuring themselves on an adventure with their favourite Tamagotchi characters, including one Tamagotchi character of their own original creation. As part of this, the entry must include a minimum of one illustrated page from the hypothetical "book". The winner is the person with the most interesting and original story idea, the runner up would be the person with the best illustration.

Thank you for your time,
~Serra

Doh! Sorry about that!

It should be good for replies now.

[jasen221]

OK Here is my idea (P.S. I live in the USA)

Think up ideas for new skins for Tama Talk and the best idea wins a prototype Tama Go refresh (If they have one )

[Tamago is awesomerest]

I live in the USA and this is my idea. I think that there should be a contest where everyone who enters must either draw what they think tamagotchis (as in something like the Tama-go or v6, not the charactors) will look like in the future and some new characters that are in it or they can give suggestions about what would make tamatown or tamagotchis better.

These are the rules:

1. Everyones ideas must be original, which mean copying someone elses idea isnt allowed.

2. Everyone has a choice of either drawing or giving suggestions. They must do one or the other.

3. Creativity is encourage and wild ideas are allowed. Dont be afraid that the idea may be to crazy to post.

4. It doesnt matter what is used to do the drawing or how it is done, as long as it is a future tamagotchi with new characters.

5. Lastly, everyone can only post once.

I live in Canada.

My idea is that we create our own Tama-Go faceplates. Plus those faceplates could be printed to place on our own Tama-Gos. The faceplates are those papers placed around the screen of the Tama-Go.

Do we add the rules for the contest? If so, I'll edit my post.

[talentzoeyd]

my idea is this- you could design your own kind of tama-go and website. (NOT A REAL WEBSITE.)

[memetchi <3]

*removed by me* I'm getting my Tama-go in the beginning of August! So no point of me entering. Good luck everyone!

P.S. I live in the U.S.A XD

I live in Canada.

My idea is that you make a collage of any tamagotchi(baground optional).

Rules:
You can use pencil to draw the picture, but you have to decorate the picture with materials other than pencil,pen,markers,crayons,etc.
You can use any solid for the collage as long as it's not dangerous,poisonous, explosive, etc.
Can't copy others etc.

I live in the USA, Kentucky.

My idea for the next contest would be "The Next Tamagotchi Design!" contest.

Using this fresh, blank template found here > [Link] (Printable Version here > [Link]), members will use their imaginations to create a one of a kind Tamagotchi design. Use colors! Experiment! Go wild.

To use the template, right click it and save the image to your computer. Open it in some type of art software (MS Paint or Photoshop for example) and design away! If you use the printable version, you must scan in or take a picture of your finished product, and upload it to an image hosting website. (If more information is needed on this, I'd be happy to help.)

The judging will be based on three things:

1. Originality
2. Creativity
3. Effort

Of course, the contest is open to any and all members of TamaTalk. The only two simple rules for this contest are:

1. One entry per person
2. No Inappropriate or Explicit designs

The basic idea of this contest is to bring out everyone's creative and imaginative potential. And of course, to have a lot of fun doing it.

Big ol' EDIT: This contest doesn't exactly HAVE to be a random design out of your imagination. If this contest is chosen, the design theme of the Tamagotchi could definitely be changed up to infinite possibilities. It could be a summer theme, sweets/candy theme, etc.

I think it would be fun to create an issue of a mock Tamagotchi magazine. It wouldn't have to be very long, and all contents should be Tamagotchi-related. It should have a creative title.

Some features could be:
1) A feature story illustrated on the cover page: maybe an interview with a famous Music Star, the latest news on a character from the Tamagotchi movie or anime series, or a current event happening in Tamatown or Music City
2) A table of contents
3) A "Letters to the editor" where a few Tamagotchi characters send in questions to be answered by the magazine writer: i.e. "I am a six-year-old V2 Violetchi anxiously waiting for the matchmaker. Do you think I should marry the first Tamagotchi she brings me or take my time and wait for the perfect partner? But I am afraid of growing into an Otokitchi myself! Please let me know what you think I should do!"
4) The feature article presented on the cover
5) Advertisement(s) for Tamagotchi characters: i.e. for music lessons, the latest cosmetics, coupons for the food court
6) Any other article(s) you wish to include. These can include but are not limited to:
a) Sports: i.e. Who are the latest stars at Heading or Sprint? Tama basketball, tennis, or race car driving?
b) Reviews of Tamagotchi movies (this doesn't have to be the full-length movie, but can also be about the mint-movies playing in the Tamatown or Music City theaters)
c) Economics: i.e. price differences between V2 and V3; Are Music Stars contributing to inflation with all the millions of GP they're earning?; Tamagotchi Corner Shop shops
d) Tamagotchi crossword puzzle or word search
e) A poem or short story
f) Advice column on Tamagotchi care
Whatever makes it fun!

Articles don't have to be limited to Tamagotchi Connections; Ancestors are welcome, too!

Text and images can be produced on a computer or by hand and scanned in.
