I would like to see a pool of writers form before the competition starts.
Then each writer submits an idea for a story. All of the ideas are then randomly sent to the other writers in the competition. This would be like
being assigned a topic or plot and having to write it.
I think it is a good idea, because I think it would take writers out of their comfort zones and try out new things, exploring the craft a little
more.
Everyone writes someone elses idea.

That's a pretty slick idea.
You get a star from me.

I realise theres possibly not enough time to organise something now but a Xmas themed story contest could be fun. Based on a conspiracy of some sort
of course.

Hmmm place is empty, oh well.
Anyway i agree with essedarius, Enrikez idea sounds pretty 
mojo.

Belonging to a couple of writers boards I see some interesting parameters for contests.
Many of them straight out of writing class from what I can tell as well as being fairly convoluted.
Pick a subject, length of the story and let the contest run.
It's about telling a story, something I think a lot of writers forget....
