Anyone up for a contest?

It's been a while since we had a contest! I have a couple of quizzes coming up (courtesy of ronthepon, Turtle and Pyrotex), but I thought maybe we could do something else as well.

Help me with ideas! Best quote? New avatar contest? Smilie contest? Essay contest?

Re: Anyone up for a contest?

Jay's photo idea brings up an interesting question. Should the results of the competition be subjectively judged or clearly delineated measurements?

Re: Anyone up for a contest?

It's best if we have some sort of competition where we can vote over the entries so that the winner is actually chosen by the community. Photos is a great idea. We can use the gallery for it and have a competition section there.

What should be the theme?
