Since the site keeps asking I will respond...
I am totally 100% definitely not suggesting an aura contest for my own benefit. OK, i am, but can you blame me? The variety here on the Hive is pretty minimal, sure there are a few, but if you're me and actually use them (20+ in a map), you soon run out and end up having to make them yourself. Many maps have heroes and units, and heroes and units tend to have passives or auras, so models produced from such a contest would definitely be used.
Auras can be pretty simple yet also complex. The contest would accommodate all level of abilities as auras are pretty simple to make. Some in the resource section are very clearly based on existing models such as brilliance aura or vampiric aura, whereas some look so new they are indistinguishable from anything that exists. What is nice however, is simple auras and the more fancy ones can look equally as good and useful.
Aura models made using SD tools look pretty serviceable in HD too.
