I also was looking forward to participate on the next SDC. I sincerely hope someone takes it up and maybe by a collaboration can create future SDC’s. It has been SUCH an inspiration.

Happy 2012 from Denmark,

I’ve only recently stumbled upon this site and was thouroughly looking forward to participating. Thank you providing such a great resource here. I hope someone else can take up the SDC somewhere else.

Is there an archive of past winners/videos anywhere? I’d love to play with some of the videos anyway.

Thanks again and happy 2012 from Ireland.
John

I know of one person who is hard at work putting together a similar event. If/when it gets off the ground, you can be sure we’ll spread the word here.

It’s sad but i think that if you can’t deal with it anymore it’s maybe also because you must have other things important to do. So I wish you the best! And thanks for your time spent to this spot.

I just want to thank you for these challenges I really enjoyed participating and judging.
It was a great way to discover talents, listen to a lot of different ideas and also exchange between sound lovers.

You did a great job and I’m sure people are eager to participate to the next SDC !!

Thanks again !

Mathieu

Thanks so much for putting them on and I understand having too much on your plate… I’ve been bummed since I haven’t had the time to submit to the contests lately (but luckily that’s because I’ve been getting a lot of work!).
To those who wish for sound design challenges, you should reach out to fellow filmmakers looking for collaboration on projects with no budget, as they are willing to work with any sound designer who is willing to offer their time for free, and I’ll tell you, you’ll learn a lot from working on a short film, and not just knowledge about sound design, but working with directors, editors, producers, etc. which is vital to succeeding in this career. So go! Head to Mandy.com or Craigslist (check Mandy first : D) and start some challenges for yourself, you won’t regret it!

Grateful to have been a part of the competitions, thanks again Shaun!

Sincerely,
Mike

If there’s a group of people that could volunteer to keep it afloat, maybe they could get together.

I was very excited to participate in the contest this month. Most of the reason I subscribed and visit the site was based on these contests. Bad timing, I guess. I hope they return.

I loved the way that every challenge differed greatly and really enjoyed seeing each entry, this gives a really great insight into how others approach the same task.

I understand that this must have been hard to keep running and want to thank you Shaun for the great efforts so far. I truely hope that this will return at some point in the future and look forward to it very much.

Until then, I will just have to challenge myself ha ha.

Cheers again Shaun

Graham

Thanks for the amazing and diverse challenges, Shaun. Totally appreciate the effort that goes under the hood. I am sure many Sound enthusiasts will be missing SDC a big time.

Looking forward to the once in a blue moon challenges which will pop up in the future. Cheers.
