Art:Pirates of the Caribbean spoof video contest

From YPPedia

The Pirates of the Caribbean spoof video contest was an event run in the Y!PP Forums by Apollo in June-July of 2006. Entrants were asked to create a live-action or animated video spoofing the Pirates of the Caribbean movie trailer. It also needed to be related to Puzzle Pirates in some way. Judging was done by the Ocean Masters and other Ringers, including Captain Cleaver and the Marketing Ringers. The original deadline for submission was 11:59 pm PDT on Sunday 9 July 2006 but it was extended by two days due to a delay in the planned in-game news reminder.

The Prizes

The first prize of US$500 and a familiar of the winner's choice was given to Montblanc and Sundancer. Second place received 50,000 PoE and first choice of the in-game prizes on offer. Third place received 25,000 PoE and second choice of the in-game prizes on offer. Fourth place received 10,000 PoE and third choice of the in-game prizes on offer. Fifth place received 5,000 PoE and fourth choice of the in-game prizes on offer. In-game prize options were :

  • A group portrait with your choice of up to FOUR Ocean Masters or Developers
  • A black/color (any but gold) painted war brig called Dead Man's Chest (one available on each ocean, so could be chosen by more than one winner if desired)
  • A forum avatar for you by one of Y!PP's in-house artists
  • 25,000 PoE

The above five entrants, and a number of honorable mentions, also received inscribed Orchid trinkets. Prizes were available on any ocean.
