Imagineering Competitions

Timeline
July 2nd, 2014 - November 10th, 2014
The Sorcerer's Apprentice Season 2: International Edition has long since been touted as one of the pinnacle competitions in wdwmagic's history. With some of the most innovative and motivated competive lineups, each round produced memorable content that still holds up to this day. Based on the Donald Trump Apprentice TV show - this competition was the sequel to 2013's Sorcerer's Apprentice, and with the momentum that competition gained, Season 2 was lined up to be even better. It lived up to those expectations and more. @jdmdisney99 hosted once again and divided the 15 contestants up into 3 teams, Land, Sea, and Air - and took the competitors through 12 challenges with an international Disney Parks theme. After months of creativity - @Zweiland emerged as the champion over 2nd place @englanddg

To many on this forum still today - The Sorcerer's Apprentice Season 2 was either one of their first competitions and/or one of their favorite of all the years imagineering on the forum.

Is pandering a form of imagineering?
