I sent you some ideas a few months ago - not sure if you would still have them.

1)  Solicit prizes from vendors instead of from the site bosses.  If awarding the top 3 entries, at least 4 prizes would be needed in case a vendor also enters and happens to win - that way, said winner is not out a prize because they "won" their own donation.

2)  Alternate between technical and artistic topics (whatever those happen to be).

3. Set the time limit to the calendar - accept entries starting August 15 through September 1, 15, or 30 for the next one, for example - no "3rd thru the 22nd" weirdness.

As for actual topics or price range for prizes, I will leave that open.  I still like my idea of a movie poster done completely in Poser, including making any words as props, but "Back to School" posters would work now as well (especially since the closing date for entries would be in September.)
