    We are planning to starting a new painting contest with multiple categories and prizes in quantities and qualities never seen on L-O before.

    The contest will be loosely based on the Golden Bat Contest that Carpe Noctem, the Vampire forum runs.

    The moderator team is hard at work hashing out the entry rules, what categories to have, how to divide up our prizes. So why am I spilling the beans with this vague spoiler.

    Because we need a name. Our working tiles "Golden Slann Contest" but we think we can come up with a more original name.

    Any ideas? We aren't going to do a poll. But we'll accept any and all suggestions put in the replies, and the L-O staff will pick our favorite.

    Hold off on questions about the contest itself. That will come soon enough.

    (Rubbish but gets the ball rolling)

    Maybe leave the gold aside and switch it to something crystal?
    The crystal slann... Or the jade slann... Or the obsidian throne or so?

    "Throne of Scales", sound too George R.R. Martin? Cause I really like the words "Throne" and "Scale" but am not sure they should both be used.

    I like the suggestions about jade and obsidian.
    If we want to focus on throne...
    Maybe "Lustria Enthroned Contest"?
    Or (if we want also scales)
    "Throne of the Painted Scales", which tells alone what kind of contest is. ..

    The Brush of Destiny
    The Scaley Brush

    ...is this really a search for what to name the award?

    The Brush Tailed Serpent
    The Golden Serpent

    ...that last one follows the formula laid out by The Golden Demon, or The Golden Bat:

    Definite Article
    +
    "Golden"
    +
    CreatureWithAppropriateTheme

    Edit:
    The Jade Serpent could be the counterpart Sculpting Contest. Because jade is carved, sculpted.

    Makes sense.
    And the Golden Serpent may not be original, but gives a certain sense of connection between the community.

    Obsidian Feather? Isn't that what macuahuitl translates to? I may be wrong but, that would be cool.

    That's self indulgent. I was thinking something low key such as

    Scalenex presents the Scalenex Awards starring Scalenex. Brought to you by Scalenex Productions.

    What about, "the next best thing to bamboo"?

    Or "the painting equivalent of a Mrs Nightbringer cake"?

    The Golden Itxi Grub?

    Golden Serpent very much follows the precedents of Daemon and Bat, and makes a good serious name. Jade Salamander works, similarly. Personally, I'd lean towards something goofier.

    I think jade sounds too Eastern, I like the obsidion throne.
