Each month, a general subject will be presented in the forums (AM:Forums) to be interpreted openly by the forum members. Members can do anything they want; including props, characters, scenes, etc., then submit an 800x600 or higher resolution, JPG format rendering by the deadline to steve@hash.com (No credit or copyright of any kind on the image, please! I will add them AFTER voting is done!)

The only rule is that it's all done in Animation:Master (with the exception of textures, for which a paint program such as PSP or Photoshop may be used).

The images will be voted on by the forum community, with 1 first place winner and 3 runners up selected from all entries to receive prizes. Prizes awarded can change on a month to month basis. First place winners will receive a trophy similar to the one shown below; Runners-up will receive plaques. Additional prizes have included books, t-shirts, posters and video cards.
