Have some official contests.

There used to be a photoshop contest run by one of the forum members but he stopped doing it for lack of interest,but i think if this contest was made official and done on a regular monthly basis with prizes for the first 3,then it could work again.

Also what happened to the Writing contest,the last one was four months ago,how hard can it be to run this on a monthly basis? All you need is a story submit page and a selected number of judges to judge the entries.

Also anyone else with ideas for other monthly contests,then add them here.

Some members are working on a fricontest project which will make it easier to host writing contests and maybe they'll also make it possible to host other contests with it.
You can find more info about it here: http://www.frihost.com/users/tidruG/blog/vp-82579.html

Also vrythramax is working on something which will also be very cool. I don't know exactly what it will become but it will be some kind of hall of fame and something with prices in your profile.

Anyhow, we want to have the contests but we want to have them well organized if they are official.

I think I'll try to hold another Writing Contest. We can host it right here on Frihost, we will have to do most of it by PM, though.

I think it would work best if it was a long time period (2-3 months) in between contests, and each one was well promoted. With it happening too frequently, the small group of people that usually participated grew tired of doing it over and over again, and the large group of people that might or might not participate just saw it as something that fades into the background. I'm not sure prizes are really needed anyway, though. Most of the people who participated were just looking for a little fun and perhaps some recognition, they didn't care too much about the prizes. A ridiculously huge prize 1000+ frih$ might attract the newer members who didn't have much.
