One Sentence Competition - The Disney Decade

[spacemt354]

The One Sentence Competition was a concept dating back to summer 2013 on the Imagineer forum. Originally designed by a member, Turtle, the game was a simple imagineering 'elevator pitch' based on a given prompt, where only 1-3 sentences were required per post. Eventually in 2016, and beyond into 2020, the game has become one of the longest running on the forum, going through several iterations and changes throughout the process.

After the success of the most recent season - the Platinum Edition - in celebration of the Imagineer forum's 20th anniversary, we gather here today to close out one year and ring in the new with the One Sentence Competition - The Disney Decade

The gameplay will be similar to seasons past. When the prompt is posted, you'll be able to respond with a 1-3 sentence 'pitch' describing your idea. At the end of each round, I'll write reviews and offer rankings!

Every submission receives one point, with bronze gaining an extra point, silver (+2), and gold (+3). Honorable mention does not gain any additional points, but is awarded to a project each round that might not have made the top 3, but deserved recognition in its own rank.

This game is open to everyone - and we welcome all who would like to give imagineering a try!

In this episode - there are two new features

One revolves around - the theme. In the Disney Decade, we will travel through the decade that saw one of if not the largest global expansions in Disney Parks. Some additions were great successes, others...not so much. In this Season we will delve not only into 90s Disney projects but also embrace the 90s in our imaginative journey.

Second new feature is a collaboration with @NateD1226 and The Proposal: Dream Wedding - the ongoing free thinking daily imagineering thread. Rather than 'bonus' One Sentence prompts, in this episode, players will have the opportunity to earn from one bonus point per round by submitting a daily 'proposal' in the Dream Wedding thread during the given prompt!

Thank you - and we hope you enjoy! ​
