Trolls!

Lol. I'm already working on a Forest Troll race, so this contest would allow me to hit two birds with one stone! I definitely support this! Tas'dingo!
The conditions may be a bit limiting though. Perhaps allowing conversions of other races into trolls might inspire a bit more creativity (elves would allow you to make female trolls i.e.).

This, right here, is solid gold. Otherwise we're going to see a lot of the same old Troll over and over again... Heck, didn't I see a great Archmage -> Jungle Troll Raptor Mage conversion a while back (even if that was a model edit)?
