Why don't you start setting guidelines and rules, let us be lobbyists...
it should be a public vote, nominated and voted for like Board of the Month.
When I envisioned this I did not want it to be a popularity contest. I wanted it to be a charity effort. I wanted the effort to go to boards that needed it, and concepts that deserved it. An essay voted on by those who actually sign up to do the work seemed logical to me, and still does. We have a board of the month already - this is a very different concept. This is developers and designers giving something real and concrete to the vBulletin community that we can all feel proud of when the day is over.
Think of Pimp-my-ride, where people plead their case as to why they need the help - or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, where again it is done on the bases of the applicants 'story' and need.

No, i hear that. But i think the public should have a say. As it is these are most likely all new forums, nobody can pick favorites so quickly so its not a popularity contest. The public will read the essays just like us, and we do the work. I dont think it will work well if its just an inside vote.'
