I've been very busy recently so I haven't had time to organize the actual "fest" part of OTfest; however, I will keep the contributions that I have received, and will continue to collect more for a while.
Help bring interest back to OT.
In order to avoid confusion, please read the entire thing.
OTfest
What is OTfest?
A showcase of talents/creativity in OT. You submit your entry in different categories (short film, poem, short story, photos, photoshop, song, music video, etc...) Then everyone votes for the best submissions for each category. The winners win. Sort of like the OTcars, but without the popularity contest.
Got a camera?
Take some photos, make a short film, music video for your favourite artist/band, etc...
Got a pencil?
(Yes, that sounds slightly sexual)
Write a short story, poem, song lyrics.
Got a good grip of Photoshop?
Photoshop some photos.
Got musical talent?
Record a song by yourself or with a band.
Want to help out?
Volunteer to help with OTfest by sending me a PM entitled "OTfest volunteer" or something like that.
