EDIT: Oh, and the contest holder would need to make a proper thread with the rules, prizes, catogeries and entries (so far), all nicely formatted and readable. |
Like I have said on #jj2, I don't agree with this. I mean, it looks and sounds good, but a person that wins a contest and a person that host a contest are two totally different people.
Organisers and participants are not the same type of people, and it would be unfair to both if you only allow them to do the other's job.

There need to be less contests, yes, but I also think that they should be more original. For example a contest asks someone to make an original level, wouldn't people just do that anyway when they make levels to upload on JCF? (The rating would tell them how well they have done, don't need a judge or no). Without a prize it has no pulling power, and without originality there really wouldn't be any sort of fun factor. Do something different that people tend to not do as default is great. Another thing I find very important is to actually limit the entry in some way. If you make a contest where you ask people to make a 3000 tile tileset (dumb example but hey) then nobody in the world would enter it because it would take too much of their time, people are lazy.
