[quote="LadyApocalymon"]I personally have the artistic skills of a steamed carrot, but I think an art contest would be just swanky. Some sites do themed contests throughout the year - like, a Valentine's Day contest, a Christmas contest, etc. - so that would be an easy way to have a set deadline and theme for it. Or you could just arbitrarily pick a theme and deadline, or have no theme in particular. (That makes judging harder, though, since entires are usually varied in style and content.)

*heh* Lookit me, pretending that I've done this before...

Anywho, if you had a fiction contest, I wouldn't mind trying my hand at it, so you'd have at least one entry. :) Of course, style/theme boundaries are even more useful for fiction than art, so you could say, "It's gotta be between X and Y number of words," or "It's gotta be about this character," or "It's gotta be a romance," or whatever you so desire. Or you could just say, "Write fiction, you slackers!" and take whatever comes in. ^.^;

I have to admit, though, that the "showcase" idea sounds better for both types, because then nobody would actually have to bother with judging anything.  :P We could just have a shiny link on the main page that says, "We had a showcase. Revel in the pretty results!" and then admire it for a couple of weeks before taking it down. If it [i]were[/i] a contest, though, the winner could get something simple, like bragging rights. Or maybe getting their message board ranking changed to "Royal Painter/Scribe" for a week. Or something.

And I said I wasn't pushing you...  :lol: Seriously, though, I'm just throwing ideas out there.[/quote]
