ON3P’s Worst Topsheet Ever Contest is BACK for 2023 - having concluded that another round of terrible designs is, in fact, a terrible idea, we’ve gone back to the contest’s original roots in the @Newschoolers forums, and lowered the bar yet again.
After years of sifting sh*t to crown top turds on the pile, for ‘23 we wanted to kickoff the annual thread by being explicit in how we pick finalists + winners: it is a Best / Worst that we are looking for - a truly hideous concept, designed exceptionally well.
The GrizzlyCorn is the champ of all champs, and case-in-point: the 2014 winner ( @chad.mckenna stand up!) was so awfully awesome, we received too many direct requests to not build it. It was redesigned for production, adopted into early versions of our Custom Builder, and remains one of our best selling customs to-date.
So against our better judgment, here we are again, hoping that you feral internet barbarians can muster up some design magic - or at the very least, make us all laugh :) That might be too much to ask but as always, we will be giving away three (3) pairs of custom skis with YOUR terrible topsheets:
-People's Choice
-Staff Pick (NS + ON3P Factory voting panel)
-Voter Raffle
Before we open Pandora’s box - PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A SERIOUS SHOT. Every year we have several entries that have to be disqualified for one reason or another. This tragedy can be averted by possessing a 3rd-grade reading level + basic human decency - we shouldn’t have to say this, but any racist, homophobic, or sexist content will be immediately disqualified. The contest is open for submissions via THIS THREAD until JUNE 23, 2023. Anything we deem too offensive will be deleted, and if you really go too far, the mod’s might even ban you too. Keep it within the realms of acceptability folks, it’s really not that hard.
We’ll be choosing our top 5 finalists to take part in the voting round, and then you’ll have 7 days (6/24-6/30) to gather as many votes as possible from the vile validity of your art. First pair of customs will go to a lucky winner of the Voter's Raffle. For the other two pairs, we'll be picking our personal favorite for Staff Pick, and the internet at-large will decide on Fan Favorite - if and ONLY IF those two are the same entry, then the winner will be able to pick a custom ski of their own from the lineup in addition to their own Worst Topsheet. It’s never happened because chaos reigns supreme in years’ past, but you never know…
