15/11/2000 - special machina contest announcement !!!
good news, good news.because of the overwhelming response to the machina contest, we have decided to award some more prizes and break down the best entries to semi-finalists and esteemed runners up.runners up will receive a nice prize for their participation and contributions and (drumroll please)semi-finalists will receive a even more special prize and the chance to compete for the grand prizes.what does this mean to me if I am one of the 10 semi-finalists.well, here's the rub.all the runner up entries along with the semi-finalists entries will be posted for all to read.only the semi-finalists will be given the opportunity to submit new entries to compete for the grand prize lucky you, you will have only 72 hours to do so."but won't everyone be able to read each others entries and rip off my ideas??".well, exactly, but of course you too can politely borrow their ideas as well.remember, entries that have been chosen were picked for their BASIC understanding of the story of glass and his band of misfit rockets, so this is a way to help choose a clear winner in the end and (all together now) reach a defined conclusion!.very exciting indeed!.also, the semi-finalists revised entries, which will have no limit on length, will be posted and fans will be given a chance to vote for their favourite entrant with a special prize awarded to that entrant for catching the fickle gaze of the fans!.one more hint: machina II/the friends and enemies of modern music, is also a part of the machina story, a very important part (hint hint!).stay posted to see if your entry made the runner-up's or the semi finals.a final time period will be posted then.xo
