Question writing contest

Just out of curiosity how many people would like to participate in a writing contest? It would be good writing practice for students (high school or college, maybe seperate them into 2 level), and at the same time great way to collect stories from teams.

I haven't though of topics yet, but I was thinking different ones like:

Stories of your FIRST team
You experience at competitions
The most exciting match you've been through
The person inspired you the most in FIRST
Most interesting tech challenge your team held

The 1st price will be a signed scoring object (if it is small enough to carry around of course) of the 2003 competition, like the soccer balls in the 2002 competition. I would get lots of well known FIRST-a-holics as well as Dean and Woodie to sign it to make it worth while.
2nd place ???
3rd place will be a 12 pack of Mountain Dew


I came up with this because I thought it might be fun, and it could attract participants from outside this forum to write about their experience in FIRST. "Most exciting match" have been done in the forum before, so have stories of teams. “The person more inspiring to you in FIRST” is sort of like the Woodie Flower award, but every time I only know who won the award and not the why.

I just though it would be good to college more stories, and open it to everyone to read. Having a contest might generate more interest in this.

Anyone Interested?

I have no idea why I have so many crazy ideas now a days… First the CD newsletter… then the question forum… and now this… ???
