Hello Misha, I wanted to ask you about Hosting a Contest.. is it possible that I could start a contest about, say, Texturing (or Icons), giving a theme and an idea of how to do it? Because we haven't had Art Contests from some time and there aren't any judges for that.. in fact, the last ones weren't even Judged. So I was thinking of a new system, maybe, maybe we could host an art contest every week/month and there won't be any judges, people will just vote for who they think must win and it will be fast and easy, and it won't bother anyone. The winner will choose the theme for the next week's challenge so that there won't be argues about that. If the majority dislikes the theme it can be changed. There won't be rewards for those contests, since I wouldn't want people to fight for something, they will just do it for fun, not for the prize. And also, if they are hosted often, rewards will not be possible since THW will become overflood with rewarded with some badges and such people. Maybe some rep for the first places or something could do.
In one art forum they use this system and so far I gotta say that it works brilliantly, it's fast and enjoyable. The only one who has to take care of it, is the host who just has to close the Weekly Challenges and open the new ones and such (not much of a work, I could take it if I'm allowed to start this). I just wanted to see what your opinion as a moderator is about that and also ask you who (except the art Moderators whom I will talk later to) I must ask about this. If I'm not allowed to do this, do you think it would be possible to start it as an Off-Topic or something?
