I agree that a sig/wallpaper contest is old hat. It both caters to a particular audience and has been done many different times under many different guises. I second the idea of some sort of trivia contest. I do like the idea of a contest that speaks to many more members of GW and not just a few...
What kind of contest will fit this bill? Triva...maybe. Sig/Wallpaper...hardly. I will have to think about this for a while and see if I/we can come up with something new. I do like the idea of a holiday theme; though I think that it may be rushed seeing how Christmas is being shoved down our necks with all the holiday commercials telling us NOT TO WAIT ONLY 'X' MORE DAYS OF SHOPPING LEFT!!! <--tangent.
Anyhoot, I hope this happens and look forward to seeing the 'new' ideas.

Personally, I like the sig/wallpaper idea.
In the theme of fanart, we could also have a contest to create new banners for the site (the ones we have are getting stale), a new logo, etc.
As for the idea of trivia, I like it. However, let's face it, it's impossible to give everyone equal footing. I know for a fact that the number and types of animes seen by people here are extremley varied.

I want to expand that idea, We could make a contest thread where you give and topic or a general Idea or a template to use and people will have to create an image using MSPaint based off of that idea. Example: you give a basic T-Shirt Template and have the user take that and expand upon it in any way to make say a Naruto, Bleach, or other t-sirt on that template.Originally Posted by Thi3f
That is just an example of a contest idea, But instead of making it just one winner you can make it a voting type where you set it with different categories to vote on. i.e. Funniest, most creative, Best artwork, ext.

@Spiegel: I like! What if it was a GW t-shirt making contest or something? Mods could provide a theme (i.e. Naruto, Bleach, Haruhi, etc.,) and the contestants could try and make a funny/serious/whatever t-shirt that are judged by either votes or a panel of judges that break down winner(s) based on different criteria.

That really is no different than a regular wallpaper contest...you just need to crop it out into the form of a shirt.
