This is an announcement about the birth of a new French website dedicated to the hosting of Blender challenges. It results from the tight cooperation of three French communities: Linuxgraphic http://www.linuxgraphic.org, Blender-Clan http://www.blenderclan.org and Blender-Doc http://www.blender-doc.fr
- two authors: olivS (author of the French book "La 3D Libre avec Blender") and Mikael (co-author of a training CD-Rom "Formation Blender Basics")
- two editors: Eyrolles (editor of "La 3D Libre avec Blender", http://www.editions-eyrolles.com and FormaCD editor of the CD-Rom, http://www.formacd.com
The website is here: http://www.challenge-blender.fr/ The first challenge has just begun. It ends on Wednesday 4th of July 12:00 PM. The topic is:Summer holidays, 'the great departure'
The two editors are both providing gifts for the winners of the challenge. There will also be a special category for beginners, so that everybody, whatever his level of skills, would have a chance to win.
This challenge is the first French experience at great scale involving cross-communities cooperation and support. A lot of French blender-heads have already signed for the challenge.
The rules, the judges and the prizes can all be viewed on the Challenge-Blender.fr website. The various communities will provide space, help and guidance for all the competitors within their own WIP threads.
The challenge will become a permanent one, perhaps one new topic each two months or each three months, as the editors are willing to continue supporting it with prizes.
Will you enter?

Ok and Blender Factory ? (http://blender-factory.tuxfamily.org/)
I think that BF also took part in this project and would be well also to speak about it ;)
"There will also be a special category for beginners, so that everybody, whatever his level of skills, would have a chance to win." I dont see that evrybody can win just the beginners and the best! :P or will there be special categories for intermediate and sub intermediate users too? he he.
@tazzy: oups yes you are right, I forgot about them! ::shame::
@Tim: could you please edit the news in order to add them?
@ysvry: a lot of people is participating already (the news is a little late ;-) ), and even real beginners are putting great efforts in the Challenge. Of course, it is obvious that the bests will win, but we wanted to consider a special prize for at least one 'true' beginner whose work will be highlighted, even if not up to the standards of a seasoned blender-head.
If they want this to be an international success, they might want to translate it in english… unless it is only for french. Then it's regional newsing :)
