Well, many forums already have banner related contests. The PSP forum has a new one each week (though i don't think its a contest, more a memeber gets asked to do one, could be wrong). Photoshop forum had a GREAT one with lots of really sick entries. Since the, people who showed up for the contest have been coming by more often. ME thinks this would not only be really cool (anyone else getting a little weary of the one we've had for so long), but it would also bring in new members with talent that otherwise lurk in the forum, but don't really post. There are some very talented individuals in this forum, and this would be cool me thinks in general. al in favour say "aye," all who oppose just keep your darn mouths SHUT!!! lol, ry
