Under the banner of content creation I am sailing my quaint little pirate ship through these lovely forums.
In order to steer traffic to this film assistance program ( Cloaks, Daggers, and the Invisible Fifth Estate!) and generate revenue for the Dust Challenge Lottery primary ISK pot, I am transitioning the roles of two of my corporations: Ancient Textiles. and Spaceballs the Business Venture. Membership to these corporations carries strong perks, and equally challenging burdens.
Newly refurbished Spaceballs the Business Venture [SKROB] is strong in the Schwartz with 1300 available seats. All members earn 2x on Big Shot Bounties Bounties and +2 Film Credits. In return all members are taxed at a 50% rate. All funds generated go to the primary lottery pot.
Ancient Textiles [-AT.-] is a much more exclusive club, only for 40 players. Members are only granted approval of application once they have completed a minimum of four player created challenges found here (***Big Shot Bounty Board [Suggestion - Review - Authorization]***).
Member benefits are much stronger as well. All members earn 3x on Big Shot Bounties Bounties and +3 Film Credits. Additionally, all members earn 1 ticket for every 1 million ISK added to the Dust Challenge primary lottery pot either through battle taxes or donations (send ISK to Ancient Textiles. or DJINN B4lock). Similar to the burdens of the prior corporation, all members of [-AT.-] are taxed at 95% and will be subject to termination of services if they do not produce a submission for a challenge once every 2 weeks. Content must be produced with the corporation member present in match and visible to count as valid for corporate retention. To reiterate, all player taxes and donations go directly to the Dust Challenge Lottery fund.
If you have questions or critiques please share them.
With regards,
Jadek "Nixon" Menaheim

=Profit!!

Note: If you are terminated or leave a corp, your bonses to Big Shot Bounties and film credits revert back to prior levels.

Note: Existing film credits are not boosted once you enter a corp. If you leave a corp your credits do not revert back to any prior entrance level.

When that time comes I think you'll enjoy the revelation of why I really started this entire event. 
Only two other people know.

Well, crap...I regret making that statement now. No, of the the two people, one person is not exempt. I might as well make the statement now.
This big factor that compelled me to start up the lottery was how 'this' issue actually went down.
[Sent to Better Business Bureau] The Glaring Gamestop Problem
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1572157#post1572157
Gamestop sends their codes through a third party service. I initially received a code for the $99.99 Elite pack which which was subsequently deleted from my purchase history by Gamestop without notice or a reversal to my credit card until I brought the matter before the Better Business Bureau. However, I had saved the code before its deletion and presented it to CCP game support, and the credited the pack to my account. Yet...about a week after CCP credited the packs to my account, Gamestop came back with a resolution notice that their investigation showed the item purchases (total $150) were not properly sent to me and they (Gamestop) fully reversed the charges. Basically, I have these items in the Dust Challenge Lottery, now free of charge....and I felt like I had 'stolen' something. In response to this inner pull of 'integrity,' I chose not to notify CCP of the BBB resolution and instead take these gains and turn it into a way to give back to the community far more than $150 ever could.
Essentially, I am running this lottery on 'complimentary' goods.

The code is now diamonds! 
I applied these items to an account and used them to purchase everything up for grabs in the lottery. The grenades, nanohives, 12 months of 30 days boosters...the list goes on.

What might not be boring is how CCP chooses to respond to this. Will they shut me and my community challenge lottery down?

Way too much information for me to process, and way too much work. Though I really want to knife someone out of a dropship now.
The idea is that no one has really submitted content for this film maker challenge I designed which awards points to players to encourage others to film events (and ultimately make more media content for the Dust brand).
Filmmaker Challenge
Having the most points in this challenge awards you an uber payout of 21984 tickets. Currently, the largest ticket amount held by anyone in the lottery currently is 362 tickets (see Lottery Ledger). Joining either corporation helps player earn these points for filming challenges much more quickly, however, filmmakers in Ancient Textiles. earn at the fastest rate.
I wanted to structure it this way because if players are involved in filming events, they are in-game, and by being in game they generate ISK which builds the pot.
