Would that be the same amount of money, 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.

company???
everything comes from his pocket he's the part owner,its coming from the money he makes from the site if thats what you mean.

That's why I'm asking. I think they also deserve some attention. But this whole contest is about Flash and not about music.

Fairly. Maybe they also want $250, but like I said. This contest is about Flash, not about music.
NG is about Flash. The music portal is just a little addon.

What if like Wade submitts something, and it happens to get one of the top 5 submissions. Does that mean you have to pay wade? Or what if you, Tom, submitt something and it gets top 5. Who pays you? Wade?

Either way, its a funny situation to be in.

yea by company i was refering to the site. he should be making lot of money from it. so i figured its coming form what he puts into the site like those stickers and stuff.

I already know who I would pick to win the money, but my opinion doesn't really matter I guess. I hope it goes to the right people. People who are truely creative, and don't get high praise for their movies just because of T&A and nudity, etc.
As for artists doing this for the money, I'll quote Han Solo:
"I've got a bad feeling about this."

You will need to be over 18 years old and will need to provide me your address within 30 days of winning, though.

That is fucking ridicoulous (however you spell it.)
A looooot of the great flash artists aren't 18. Why is that reason? Can't you use your parents name?

I think you need to be over 18, to accept money, that has been send from a foreign country.

But maybe your daddy want's to sign you in, EviLudy? ;)

Gah wha huh eh!?

You have to be 18?... well I might aswell jump out the window now =D.

I couldn't care less about the money because I probably won't win such a thing anyway, it's more about holding back the underaged users. I'm sick of that crap of the older users bitching off the younger once about their age.

Hmmm... I'm not so sure if that's true.

Yeah, that's a lie. You only need to be 18 to drink your money.

This sounds like a cool idea, Tom. I never realized the NG monthly cost was so high, but it's nice to see you guys are making enough of a profit that you can spare prize money like this. If it works, I hope we see some really incredible stuff around here flash wise.

Damn the 18 years or Older :(
Although i woulnt win N E ways,
well as long as Newgrounds will be up in the nex 3-5 years, and the 250 bucks keeps going, hey i might aswell give it a try,
maybe i could make a flash that could take me 3 years to make.

But i think its a great idea for the prizes, and to all of u that are complaining that 250$ aint much, but just think... Hes Givign his own money away, and ur complaining? like dont take these things for granted, it was his own decision to start up Newgrounds, and Give away stuff, so dont go bitching about.
Although i am Bitchign myself

What if we've used copyrighted music in our submissions? I can't win this, due to age, but it's just something that has occured to me.

What star syndicate did for 'just some high scores' was horrid.
Bringing money into the situation will probably introduce new levels of e-fraud and cheating.

The idea of giving something back to flash artist's is a good idea, yet it might make amature artists feel inferior to the top dogs more so than ever.

Well, lets see how it goes. Nothing is ever final.

Yeah, that is a good question. That means people could argue about the music being used in a non-profit production. I don't really have to worry about it I guess, not 18 till June.

This is when you know Tom's rich.

Well, just act with maturity and then we'll see. And besides, he's not "holding back" on underaged users, it's just a legal thing...

Yeah, but I would like to hear what the legal reasons are behind that =/. Not that I have anything coming out this month anyways... snap.

If ur already paying 15 grand per month, how cumz u can manage to fork out ANOTHER $1,250??

Tom what will happen if somebody steals a submission and by chance it wins, but this is only made apparent after the money has been given to the winner....

the cash sounds like a good idea itll draw out alot of crappy and good artistes to help you get youre blam protect level up. i lke that
