Hello there, fellow armchair imagineers! It’s time for Season 6, Episode 2 of that beloved pitching program…
The One Sentence Competition!
I’m your host, DashHaber! For newcomers and familiar faces, the One Sentence Competition is one of the simplest games we have around the forums! It’s designed to be a casual challenge you can easily take part in. No elaborate write-ups, no major teams, no serious commitments here! All you need is a good idea, and the ability communicate it clearly!
Here is how it works: each round, you will be given a prompt. With one to three sentence and only one picture, you will come up with a short pitch that you think captures the idea. At the end of each round, I’ll offer comments and critiques of all the submissions, and then deal out the points!
Every submission automatically gets 1 point. I will also award bronze (1 point), silver (1 point), and gold (2 points). In addition, I’ll pick an “honorable mention”, for any submission that didn’t make the top three but still stood out.
At the end of all eight rounds, I will announce the winner, who will receive bragging rights and the choice to host the next episode of the One Sentence Competition!
Now, onto this episode. Recent episodes have been featuring a theme for the competition, and this one is no different. However, it features a bit of a twist. The theme is… “Opening the Vault”.
Normally, the prompts that challengers are given lay out the type of park addition they'll be developing: a new ride, a restaurant, whatever. Not this time. Instead, Disney has a wealth of IPs that they have built up over the years. However, some of it is barely featured in the parks, or not used at all!
This time, you will be given a Disney IP along with a particular land at a Disney theme park. With that, you will have to come up with how to implement it! It could be a ride, a restaurant, or even restrooms. What sort of approach is all up to you, with the challenge being in how you use the IP. To be specific, I’ll be looking at how you try to capture the spirit of the IP, along with how this implementation fits in the assigned land.
What’s the first prompt? Stay tuned, dear competitors! The first round is on the way this Monday.
