I like this idea a lot. I thought about doing something like this but was going to post a bunch of "titles" and challenge users to make quizzes with that title. But Theme is a much better idea. Some people (including myself) have trouble coming up with ideas for quizzes or anything else without some sort of prompt.

However many quizzes come in before the deadline would still qualify. If you do it like this, then for what it's worth I'd offer to make whichever quiz is declared the winner each week an editor pick in the Just For Fun section.

This is probably the best day of the color curator's life.
Well, this might just be the silliest quiz I've ever made, but here goes:
Here's my quiz: Purple Lost in Translation

I say that when it comes to voting, it would be best to have two or more rounds. So, if there are 10 quizzes, then after the first round 5 would be eliminated, and then the second round would produce the winner (or 3 rounds, first round and second round both eliminate 3, third round produces winner).
On a side note, I'm surprised nobody made the quizzes "Colors That End in -urple" or "Words That Rhyme with Purple."
I'm vomiting purple now. Actually, it was pretty great to take them all in a row--by the time I got to the last one I was a Purple Scholar and breezed right through.
Hey, why not have some fun on Sporcle University? :)Welcome to the (I think) first Sporcle quiz-making competition, right here on Sporcle University. Here's how it'll basically work: Each week, I'll post the theme for the contest (it might be something like "cheese" or "India"). Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - if things go well, I'll try to have a new contest here every week. Okay, let's continue. You guys (that's right, you) will contribute a Sporcle quiz that pertains to the theme in any way and post it on this thread. The first four quizzes to be posted will be our four entries. Once the entries are up, it will be voting time. To vote, just send me an email (over at banjo...@gmail.com) telling me which entry you'd like to vote for. After five votes are sent in, I will post the winning quiz and the theme for the next contest. If there is a tie, I'll decide which quiz wins. Also, please do not vote if your quiz is one of the week's entries.Wow. I'm not very good at explaining rules. If you have any other questions, just ask and I'll answer.Ah, yes. I almost forgot. I have no idea what the prize could be if your quiz is the winner. Suggestions are always welcome.The first week's theme:PurpleAlright, humans. That's it. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Have fun!BanjoZebra

Just to throw another idea into the mix. Is there anyway of using the joy factor as the guide to this? I believe that takes many different things into account. Not just the good/bad ratings or the number of plays etc. It seems this would give each quiz a pretty fair shot regardless of its nature and everyone could see where they stood on it each week. I don't know if Sporcle has or can see the joy factor to non-picked quizzes but I'm wondering if they would be able to include it or set it up so the quizzes of people taking part in this could also be put on the already existing or even a separate joy factor list (perhaps limiting it to only one entry per person which they would put forward on this forum). That way it may be neck and neck right down to the final minutes of each week!. The quiz with the highest joy factor on each theme at the end of each week could be published (and I guess there could be more than one sometimes too!).
So, our options for how to vote are:
- SurveyMonkey
- Some kind of poll quiz on Sporcle
- Making a quiz, and voting in the comments
- Emailing me (or VikZ, possibly) with your vote
I think that last makes the most sense. I guess that's just the original voting method. When it's voting time, just email me with your vote at Banjo...@gmail.com. You may vote if you've entered, just please do not vote for your own quiz.
How to Vote:As you probably know from before, just email me (banjo...@gmail.com) with your vote. Your email should look something like this:1. [Quiz 1] (your favorite entry)2. [Quiz 2] (second favorite entry)3. [Quiz 3] (third)1st place is worth 3 points, 2nd is worth 2, and 3rd is 1. Please only say your top three, I don't want this to get out of hand.Voting will start at midnight EST tonight, and will be over in two days. I will then tally up the votes and post our winner here. The winning quiz will (if all goes well) get published on Sporcle.
