hmm, a bit more contests would be good for vb.org yes.
But i am not sure of how to do it. If the staff decides who would be the winner, some could say we are biased and such, so i'd say it should be the users who decide the winning board.
The boardowner could get a image in his Profile or such, to show he is the owner of a board of a month, maybe with link and everything....
that are just idea from myself, not sure what the rest of the staff thinks about
