A Valentines day contest would be fun... but not what I had in mind at all.  And since Valentines day is my least favorite holiday, I would not be excited about judging it.  But I can see where it would be a successful contest.

And yes, ZLS... er Host, A broad contest with a theme allows many people to enter in a variety of ways (written, drawn, modeled etc) is exactly what I had in mind...

But I had not really thought of multiple judges... it was going to be either single judge or vote.
 
The whole idea was for people to express something that they had rolling around inside.. not for me/us to tell them what it should be.

IF I had to name it I guess I would have called it "Make something for Grandma"  lol..  or even better"Surprise Me"  Yes, that's it..

"Surprise Me"

I have no interest in a contest where the idea is born in  me and someone else executes it.  Knowing what is inside the box can ruin the joy of opening the gift....

And yes, it could be an event of sorts rather than a contest, since no one who brings forth tangible fruit from a thought or idea ever truly looses.
