Ok,
How about one where maybe three
items had to be within, and the judge
chooses the items like for instance,
box of 250 toothpicks, the yellow v.w.
and the olive tree.

Excellent Idea.
I will put it on the list.

The problem with gathering suggestions is that each month
is that each month the contest parameters are entirely up to that month's judge. Now once in a while a volunteer bales out at the last minute and then either Geezer or I have to judge. But Richard, would you be willing to judge a contest based on your idea? If so, we need a judge for October

Umm,
I thought this would be ideas for
a bucket of in case needed. I could
be a judge but isn't it supposed to be
anonymous?

At this point, I am hoping to gather ideas
If we have a list of contest types, the organizer of the contest can opt to pick from the list rather than be compelled to define a contest.

Where
would this list of possible options be kept? Most monthly judges have no trouble in choosing contest parameters so this might be adding an unneeded complication.

This would be more about commmunity
Contest judges would be under no obligation to select a contest idea. It would, however, give members the opportunity to share their thoughts and enthusiasm.
