A new story type has been added to TARDIS Guide: Competition Winner.
Quite a few stories across the Whoniverse have been the result of a competition either for a monster design or for a entire story. So far we’ve got the following list. Anything we’ve missed?
Love & Monsters
Utopia
Deep Breath
Sea-Rah (a DWA comic strip)
All the Paul Spragg short trips
Good as Gold
Death is the Only Answer
The Ugrakks (a Third Doctor strip)
Isn’t that 12 and Bill audio from last year one?
Which one? War Stories? That’s a Paul Spraggs short trip.
That is the one of the Paul Spragg Short Trips
That awful 15th Doctor comic from the latest DWM that I can’t remember the name of should be on here
The entirety of the “Short Trips: How the Doctor Changed My Life” book consists of competition winners.
I liked that one!
Usually this kind of story is exactly what I love ve, but this was just a mess for me.
It took three people to write this?
Additionally, “Power to the People” and “Hall of Mirrors”, two DWM short stories.
There’s the Love and Monsters sequel animation which was a passing of the torch to a new idea/ monster
The name, design and background notes for the Vortexians came from Paul Fisher, the winning designer in Doctor Who Magazine’s Design a Monster competition. The winner was announced in Doctor Who Magazine 224.
The runner-up monster designs also had cameos in the same strip. They were the Zrontaks, designed by Richard Burnell, the Insoids, designed by Jason Powdrill and the Pharaohs, designed by Justin Askham.
In a competition connected with the series, a contest winner was given a chance to play a villain in a specially written Doctor Who scene featuring Jack Harkness and a surprise guest which was broadcast during the 23rd May 2009 episode of Tonight’s the Night.
“…ish”
That audio was written by a guy who won a competition for a script back in the early days of BF. I don’t quite remember the circumstances for that competition
Where is this?
The Doctor Who Lockdown short The Genuine Article
I believe it may be this?
The Krakanord, designed by Hugh Brown, was the winning entry of the #DoctorWhoLockdown Design-a-Monster competition. The competition was judged by Will Grantham (aka @ChannelPup), who won the Blue Peter Design-a-Monster competition with his Abzorbaloff in 2006.
Problem is, this competition wasn’t official or affiliated with the BBC, so it may be a grey area?
It’s already on the site.
And I’m pretty sure Lockdown! is all licensed.
The Benny and Unbound Doctor set Buried Memories was written by competition winners
Looking at the wiki it seems the script got through when BF did an ‘open door’ day rather than a competition as such.
Seeing this Story isn’t included in the List, I do think the Doctor’s Wife would fall under this Category:
The Junk TARDIS console was the subject of a 2009 design competition on Blue Peter . The winning design was by then-12-year-old Susannah Leah, whose subsequent visits to the BBC Art Department and location filming for this story were featured in the 10 May 2011 episode of Blue Peter.
