Future contests?
 

Would be awesome if we could get informed about future machinima contests so we're sort of prepare for them. :)

Also, when will the next contest be?

Good point here...Whenever I heard about a contest, I thought to myself:
"You are NOT prepared..!"

I have no idea when the next contest is going to be, but I've got a pretty good feeling there'll be a Christmas contest again this year :)
