same here :(

It's a good innitiative, but may I take this oppertunity to complaint about the lack of attention you give to the Audio Portal . We musicians keep getting ignored :(

I know this mainly is a flash site, but me, for instance, visit the Audio Portal alot more often then I visit the Flash Portal. Wouldn't it be nice to promote and motivate the musicwriters here on Newgrounds? I know, people listening and/or downloading your music is the biggest reward (hehe, it's true though), but I think it would be great if there was just a little more attention for the Audio Portal. It doesn't even need to be sponsored with money or anything, just brush it up a bit. (Making the voting system different, reviews in profile, making musicians able to change the comments on their songs, etc.)

I'm sorry if I sound like a whiney bitch, but maybe if I keep repeating it, somebody eventually WILL listen :)

Greetz,
Hypocritism

i doubt i will win any money but good luck to all the artists in the contest

meh... i think most ppl who wil be able to win are ppl with jobs who get mutcha money already

I think the entire contest is pointless.

The prize will just go to the Top Five movies in the portal or just the best movies that month.

The real animators on NG, (the little people), won't get jack.

Money 4 flash? im rich

I don't think it really matters for you. :)

It really is an honor for you to reply.

Anyway I have been working with flash (my uncle gave me some lessons [plus some with swish]) but they're only simple animations to help his staff meetings.

Even if I DO submit anything, I'll have to lie about my age.

I can see you'd be so stealthy about it. Announcing that on the forums and whatnot. How could anyone possibly figure it out now?

Is the monthly prize only for movies submiited that month? If so I wish I was speedier in my animation. :/

Oh yeah... I think the portal will have a nice month :)

*Prepare my 5s*

Let's see what the Top 10s will say.

He probably could but if you live outside the US I don't think you'll recieve as much because I think there's a fine for transfering currencies.

I think that the money will motivate people to make better quality flashes. Although there will be a few who may leave NG when they pour their blood and sweat into a flash and don't win, I think that this will overall benifit NG. Cheers Tom, you generous person you...

I think the over 18 bit is for legal purposes since whenever there's a contest it usually says you must be 18 or older to win.

I have this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that things will go horribly wrong concerning this cash giveaway.

Depending on where you live. If you were in the UK I'm sure you'd recieve a lot less. But probably not if you were in somewhere where the US Dollar is higher (i.e. Canada)

Is this available to non-US citizens?

Well, since song copyright seems to be an issue with the flash contest, I'm sure a lot of the artists will look to the audio portal for something that they could use legally, thus benefitting you both.

Does this mean if someone used a song in the audio portal in their winning falsh that they'd have to give some of the winnings to the musician that made the song?

Wow thats Bloody amazing! Too bad im younger then 18 thoe :(

If people have the educational version, can they not enter the contest? I know that you're not suppose to make profit with it, but I'm not sure if If that implies "selling" your work or just earning money in general.

Illwillpress is gonna be rich as hell soon =D

Would that be the same amount of money, Tom?

im worried that if this site starts hitting hard times again and you start reducing the prizes or getting rid of them completely. people would be getting mad and upset and leave the site, this depending on how long these prizes last for.

hey im just curious. the money you pay to the winner it comes from the company right, it cant come from your pocket can it?

Noooooo... Why won't you send us young'uns a check?

My excitement parade has been shat on by the Tom. :(

i dont think it should be,im sure they work hard on there music but its nothing compared to what the flash artists do.

id say $50-$75 is a generous amount.
