The Golden Joysticks
We have a long tradition of giving away prizes in the VGR. Everything
from toys, games and peripherals, to anime goods and videos. But there is
one prize that you can only get at NDK, a truly unique, a one of a kind, hand-made
item that you can put on your shelf or dashboard to forever remember your
glorious victory in the VGR Tournaments - The Golden Joysticks.
Each Tournament winner gets one of these, and we also give them to the
winners of the special prizes in Cosplay, Music Video and Art & Model. We
will be creating and giving out these totally original prizes every year
from now on.
There may be other Video Game Rooms, in other conventions, but they have
nothing like these babies. That's because I make them myself, out of actual
arcade machine joysticks. I'll admit, the trophy shop does the mounting and
engraving, but I spend a great deal of time and money putting together the
only prize that you can actually leave to your grandchildren.
Prize Sponsorships
We are also sponsoring prizes in the
Music Video Contest, Costume
Contest, and
Art and Model Show. These prizes will be given out to the best
video-game related entry in their respective events. Beyond the standards
given below, we will simply choose the one we like best. It's easiest that
way.
Music Video: A qualifying entry is a video that makes good use of
primarily video game footage. If you put a flash of Soul Calibur in for just
a moment, that doesn't cut it. But if you make something combining the
Parasite Eve games and live action movies, that could qualify. Also, taking
footage of you playing a game while music plays behind it really isn't what
we're looking for. Try again.
Video Game Music Video Winner 2005 - MFP - Yuna's
Journey
Costume Contest: We will award the prize to the best Video Game
costume. The condition is that it must have been a video game first.
Thus, Ranma, which has had thousands of games made from it, would not count.
However, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna was actually a game before it was an anime,
and would qualify. You get the idea.
P.S. - We are almost all male in the VGR, but we are not
impressed by lots exposed flesh. We are impressed by good costuming.
Video Game
Cosplay Winner 2005 - Final Fantasy VIII Shiva
Art and Model Show: This prize has mostly the same standards as the
Cosplay prize - it should be a piece based on something that was a game
first. We will consider any works of art in any media that are entered into
the Art & Model Show.
