• Most new users don't bother reading our rules. Here's the one that is ignored almost immediately upon signup: DO NOT ASK FOR FANEDIT LINKS PUBLICLY. First, read the FAQ. Seriously. What you want is there. You can also send a message to the editor. If that doesn't work THEN post in the Trade & Request forum. Anywhere else and it will be deleted and an infraction will be issued.
  • If this is your first time here please read our FAQ and Rules pages. They have some useful information that will get us all off on the right foot, especially our Own the Source rule. If you do not understand any of these rules send a private message to one of our staff for further details.

So I had such great fun playing in the Marvel/AniBoom sandbox that i thought wouldn't it be fun if there was an editing contest?
since we all here are already editors, why not have the studios give us the footage
and we cut to our heart's content.

Well wouldn't you know it, this is already at work and has been for a while.
check out OPENCUT 3!!!
OpenCut is a completely open-source film competition designed to encourage people to take professionally shot material and edit it in their own way.

As there is no "one way" to tell a story, so too can stories benefit from being re-edited and re-told from many different vantage points and perspectives.

An initiative started by Torrey Loomis in 2008, OpenCut seeks to achieve the following:

* Create an open-source model to encourage creativity among editors and filmmakers by allowing them to work on 35mm film grade material
* Promote the use of RED in production and post
* Stimulate creative discussion among editors and filmmakers

OpenCut winners will be officially designated as editor-of-record on projects and their work will be submitted to multiple film festivals for tremendous exposure.

OpenCut will feature work from many different directors and different genres including action, dramatic, commercial, music video, and short form documentary.

OpenCut material will always be shot on RED to preserve the highest quality available to filmmakers today. When editing an OpenCut project, there will never be a need to work with subpar imagery.

This contest Prize Package!

* Named as one of the members of the "Sensored" visual effects team
* A copy of the new Adobe Creative Suite 4: Master Collection ($2499 value)
* One week free rental of RED ONE #21 on a production of your choice ($8000 value)

So registration for next one has not been announced yet but maybe we can keep our eyes open for it.
And if anybody finds other contest, let us know.
cheers!
