[1000 mBTC remaining] bounty for teaser artwork/media

[nimda]

I don't even know what m-day is and I already can't wait!

[Stunna]

Fantastic entries, grats to winner 

[alberthrocks]

After a while of working (6-7 hours spread out over 1.5 weeks), I now have an entry!

http://alberthrocks.site88.net/

Quite simply, a website animation that makes you wonder what M-Day is... and drops some pretty obvious hints while doing so!
Watch it to find out!

Recommended: Latest Chrome or Firefox
(If you're curious, it DOES work in Internet Explorer 10 (and has some internal support too!), but 2 of the animation shots will not work because as always, Microsoft is rather screwy with their standards... Not sure about other IEs, though IE9 should work too.)

Fun-tip: Try using a mobile browser! There's some little things for those browsers, too!

Warning: this is a resource heavy website, so make sure you clear up a few things before visiting the website!

If I do win the community vote, I'll make the website permanent, add localization support, and use part of the funds to make the faucet active.

Wow, you went all out!

Note to potential clickers: I could never vouch for someone else's site completely (too security conscious for that) but I have taken a look at the page source and scripts and there is nothing overtly suspicious in it.  It's also worth noting that alberthrocks registered on bitcointalk before the contest and has a pretty legitimate posting history.  Threat assessment:  LOW (but never zero of course  )

That was an intense experience, and I loved it!  I'll have to try it out on mobile when I get a chance.

So, when will we know what mDay is? I have a feeling it's got something to do with mBTC.

Great! I'll be sure to watch this topic closely then, very interested to see what it is.

@zinodaur btw, I will personally tip you 50 mBTC if you change the large 'M' to a lowercase 'm' in your awesome poster image!

@Xqisit I'll make you the same offer for your images.  Should be pretty easy if you still have the original layers.


And I would probably tip anyone at least something if they switch their existing entry from 'M' to 'm'

I am going to be launching a mysterious community project soon, and I need some promotional artwork/media.  It's a non-profit endeavour, but to make it a little more fun I'm putting 3000 mBTC up for grabs.  The project theme is:

"m-day is coming."

(m-day is June 2, 2013)

This is all the information you have, and your job is to create teaser images, trailers, or other forms of media which will get people interested and excited about it.

I can promise you that the project is not in any way objectionable and that this is for a good cause.  No matter what your talent is, just give it a shot and have fun with it.  Images large and small, youtube videos, shirts, 3D prints, cleverly worded tweets, you name it--we can use them all.  It could be dirt simple or a full on Hollywood production--just make me interested in M-day!

The money works as follows:  You can submit as many different things as you want.  I will be giving the entry I select as the best one 2000 mBTC out of my own pocket.  I will also give a prize of 1000 mBTC to a "community winner" as selected by votes on this forum (from accounts created prior to May 10--accounts created after this can enter the contest, they just can't vote).  The same person cannot win both amounts, and community voting will begin only after the first reward is announced.  The community vote will only be held if a sufficient quantity of quality entries are received (but don't worry--I want to hold it).

The submission period begins immediately, and runs for one week, with the winner to be announced during the Bitcoin 2013 conference.  As part of the judging I will be asking people at the conference if they have heard about m-day and if so where and how, so feel free to promote your creations anywhere within the Bitcoin community that you like (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).  Nonetheless only entries which have a submission in this thread will be eligible to win.  Make sure your submission is in by end of day Saturday (May 18) if you want it to be considered.

For those who don't know me I am a long-standing member of the community (I wrote the Introduction to Bitcoin, for example).  I run these little projects from time to time with the aim of growing the Bitcoin userbase and improving user-friendliness of The Bitcoin Experience^TM.

Small print:  by posting in this thread you grant me a non-exclusive license to use your content.  I recommend the CC-BY license but any similarly permissive license is fine.


Edit:  Project m-day has now been officially announced!

Also, Community voting has begun!  Details here (please read before voting).

Haha! Oh Hai there, Coinseeker! Thanks for the vote! (I can't win the community prize tho.)

And since I'm here...  my vote will go to Xqisit. I loved the 'sliced' bitcoin logo. It's simple/elegant.

Updated the images to include a small "m"

Looks like I forgot to save the source file and had to improvise. Eh.

Still looks pretty good.  Where can I send you a tip?

@Xqisit awesome, tipped.

@alberthrocks sent you a tip too


Edit:  Sorry, it was staring me in the face.  Sent it to the address in your sig, @zinodaur
