Pimp My Board Contest
 

It would be work, so we wouldn't want to do it more than once every six months or so, but the idea goes like this - based on MTV's Pimp My Ride.

Board owners submit essays on why they should be chosen. Somehow the essays are judged (TBD). Then we coders and graphics artists 'pimp' their board. We'd need artists volunteers, and coder volunteers, and someone to organize, etc. etc...

As I said, it would be work, but it sounds really fun, and good community spirit. Not to mention great for whoever gets their board pimped.

This actually does sound like a lot of fun.

it does....

I'll volunteer as one of the coders.

That would be pretty amazing, haha, very nice suggestion :)

LOL this could be really fun! We would need to see a good support from coders and designers for those who are interested. It would also have to be very well organized.

Yup, collaboration and organisation will be a must :)

We'd also need a selection panel of people who would pick a board owner based on true need and not popularity. It would be more fun, I think, to do this for a charity or non-profit board.

Yup, totally agreed :)

I think the idea would have to be 'taken over' by the staff, and run by them. It's too big otherwise. Volunteers could come from the members, but I don't think it could be organized well enough to be pulled off without if becoming 'official' and staff run.
