XanBcoo already won that contest...

But yeah, in general level there could be some credit to the idea of smaller contests. Maybe people, both organizers and the contestants, can get weary of events spanning half a year. Although it may feel unfair to give grand prizes for a few hours of work. And like Jad said, a simple sig contest prize would almost automatically go to one of the relative few people pushing out quality sigs all the time. It could be a bit rigged.

Personally I think contests that are open to as many people as possible are the best, like Jad said. Something that requires imagination but only low-moderate skills of any kind are absolutely necessary. And since this is an anime forum, I tend to think it would be best the contests had something to do with anime. We all know KitKat would win the baking contest, so far-fetched themes like that are biased.
