In the plan New and Inter battle out completely separate to Pro and above. It's two separate competitions, the two levels never battle each other.

You have to understand that our Facebook page is a way for potential clients (including quite significant companies in the automotive world, like wheel manufacturers and tuning brands) to see examples of Autemo's work. Only Pro Tuner and above artists are allowed to undertake projects on Autemo, so it'd make sense that we show work by these artists on our Facebook page so that the clients can get an idea of the quality of work they can expect. If we started to feature more NCA and Inter work on our Facebook page, it'd be like a plastic surgeon showing Michael Jackson as an example of his work, rather than another one of his jobs, Scarlett Johansson.

Every so often we will feature something from NCA and Inter if we think it's good enough to show potential clients and would be a good example of some of the work that our artists can do. Otherwise we're potentially misleading the public.

I'll change it so that there is no limit on the number of entrants; really there was no need for it, but I wanted to keep some "exclusivity" to the All Stars battle and that's why I put in a limit. It seems to be creating more problems than it solves so we might as well have unlimited entries.

Ahh, now I get what you're doing with the battle. To me, that seems fair. Featuring some lower level pieces. Thanks for explaining it in a little better detail .

This sounds really promising. I'm glad you're not getting rid of the WTB, it's really fun to merely be a spectator of the WTB without even competing. I know I don't have to tell you guys, but keep us posted on any big news on the facebook page, I'd love to have a go at competing.

A couple of questions:

-What date will it start? (I realise you may not have decided yet, but thought I'd ask anyway)

- In the below pro class, will there be a variety of different types of cars? I know you're trying to keep it fairly easy and accessible, but it'd be cool if there was a mix of new cars and old, Tuners, Muscles, Classic Euros, Exotics etc

I'm glad you like the idea!

As for your questions, the comp will start straight after the WTB... so probably in early August (but registrations will open about a month before that. It should finish around the new year so we can start the WTB right on schedule in early January.

In the Below Pro Challenge we were planning to do as you said. It's good to get a good variety of cars (and I think that's what we've done in the Autemo championships, and as I said the base images will be similar to those of that competition).

I like the below pro idea. Didn't want to enter the wtb cause I wouldn't stand a chance against all the advanced and elite artists. So this is a change for the learning artists to get some recognition for their work. Please continue this idea and I will enter for shure!

If you get many participants in the below pro group, then maybe you do a qualifying stage with a simple base for all the participants and say top 20 people go through to the 1v1 knockout stages. Hopefully this will prevent people from entering and just not chop if they feel like it

There aren't any 1v1 stages (other than the final round) so there's no reason to do that. By "knockout" I meant how the current WTB works, and that will basically be the format.

when is this new comp going too start ?

When we reach 5000 Facebook likes.



Kidding.

I'll open the registrations in about two weeks (July 7th). Registrations will be open for a month and the competition will start straight after entries close for the final round of the WTB.
