Hey Charles and everyone, not sure exactly whether this would work or 
not, but a nice idea for a prize might be a guest segment on our podcast 
where they get to to talk about what they want (linux related or not) 
within reason. I think a set of rules would need to be made up for both 
the segment if we choose to go that way and the contest (which I think 
is a great idea). For the contest, I think the easiest way would be to 
narrow whatever images we get to the top 5 or 10 by distributing to the 
list and having us choose the 5 or 10 best and then making a thread in 
the forums and letting the community choose the best out of the original 
5 or 10 we narrowed it down to.

Hope that all made sense. It was thought of in a mad rush to get out the 
door but basically.

1. Art contest is a great idea.
2. Possible prize can be guest segment.
3. Rules for both contest and guest segment to be made up.
4. Out of all the images that gets submitted we (here in the list) 
choose the top 5 or 10 images. Then a thread in the forums lets the 
community choose the best.
