I vote for a hexagonal theme contest; this is an intriguing format that is not frequently used, but has promise. I also vote for the following theme: a variant using the traditional 8x8 board and classic pieces, k, q, b, n, r, p; this would allow inventors to dwell on the mechanics of the game rather than its details. Also, I am in favor of a judged contest; if this format is approved, I nominate Jeremy to be on the panel because of his wide familiarity with variants and the many presets that he has created and large variety of games he is playing on Game Courier demonstrating his wide interest.
