Hello everyone!

So as some of you may know, from November 9th-23rd, Gnomon will be hosting our second annual online Master Class event. I put together the line-up over the summer and I honestly can't wait to watch the lectures that the artists will be putting together! This is a wonderful opportunity for us all to learn from some exceptionally talented and experienced artists including Craig Mullins, Neville Page, Feng Zhu, artists from Blur (Sze and Nick) and Blizzard (Reo and Alvaro), and many more. Just too cool. There is so much to learn from their collective creativity, work experience and technique!
For the duration of the event, attendees will have access to a private forum where you can watch the lectures and interact with all sixteen instructors. Last year's event was a great experience where we received a ton of positive feedback from the instructors, students and professionals who attended.
Now while everyone always says that free is best, of course for something of this level we just can't afford free. But we have tried to make this as affordable as possible, and if you do the math, it is just $18 per Master Class ($14 if you're a student.). I think it is the deal of the year. But since the cost is so low, we really need to do a good job of spreading the word.
This is where the community can really make a difference and help us out... the more participation we can get from you guys and the more attendees, the greater the chance that we can continue to host these types of events for the global community.
So what can you do to help? Basically we need to spread the word both online and in person. This can be via forums, communities, social networks, sharing info with fellow classmates or instructors, asking your supervisors or Art Directors if your team can get tickets, or even putting a poster up on a bulletin board at school or at work. The main thing is that people just need to know that the event is coming up and that it is something that will inspire, motivate and educate people of all levels interested in the vfx and game industries.
Now I know that we are asking for your help and that everyone has limited time... so of course we want to reward you for your help! This is your chance to earn a free ticket to the event! Here is the plan... do what you can to help and then make a post in this thread with what you did. If you mentioned it online, provide a link. If you put up a flier or poster at school or work, or on a bulletin board in an art or comic book store, just snap a photo and post it! Just please don't bombard the same spot... we don't want 30 new identical threads at a forum. We definitely appreciate you being considerate of the places you visit.
We have 50(!) free tickets from Gnomon to give away, so the first 50 people who make posts that qualify will earn their spot in this years Master Class event! The selected winners will be announced every week until November 9th.
How do you qualify? As long as your post shows that you put some effort into it, you will get a ticket. If your post says that you stapled a flier to your dog and took him for a walk, then umm... no, and you shouldn't have pets. If you tweeted about it, but only have 2 followers, then perhaps not. But if you have 50,000 followers, and that is all you did... then ok. It is a combo of what you did and the impact.
As an extra incentive... the FIVE people who accomplish the most, will also get a free one year subscription to the brand new Gnomon Workshop online subscription library, worth $500. (Just launching today btw!!!).
And finally, the person who has the MOST impact will get: 1 Free Master Class Ticket, 1 Year subscription to the Gnomon Workshop online library, and 1 Free online class from the Gnomon School. Total value: $2400.
Winners will be announced on a weekly basis from now until November 9th. The top five spots will be announced on November 9th. So it is possible that next week we will have chosen all 50 winners already, so don't delay! We need your help and are going to be keeping a close eye on this thread!!!
