Hmm... I for one will not be participating, the holiday theme is hard to work with IMO, but this is a great idea. I'm in favour for any contests, and wouldn't mind running one myself after this one clears up.
The contest goes too long, it's going to encounter problems if you run it until January. I'd advise you cut it way short, or wait until after Christmas to start it.
Ok, I understand. If a mod could lock the topic or delete it until Janurary 5th, I could do the contest from then until Feburary 1st. You have all the way until then to make your mod. So that's about 2 months.[/size]
