Here's the rules I would propose...
* All images to be posted on brickshelf.com

If you are going to have this requirement then you might add that each entry
should have its own folder.  It's really difficult to try to choose a model
when 2 or more are in the same directory and aren't clearly labeled.

My plan is to build a page on my website that links to the Brickshelf
thumbnail and large images.  They don't have to be in separate folders
for that.  But it would be convenient.  I'll add "(one folder per
model)" to the rules.

* No CAD models
* Each entry earns you one vote
* The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes will go to the models with the most
votes, except that no person can win more than one prize
* In the event of a tie, a run-off will be held
* All models must be created between XXX and YYY dates (to be determined)

Another thing I'd add:
Categories by size or piece count.  A small creation can be just as
technically interesting as a large one, though larger ones are usually more
impressive just because there are more places to put details.  I'd like to
see small elegant designs having a chance.

Two categories would probably be enough, though you could do more.  You
might ask the folks who have experience building these where the cutoff
point(s) should be.

Good point.  It's hard to do it by number of elements because it's a
pain to count the elements on an assembled model.  I think a size
cutoff would be good though, i.e. anything less than X studs long and
Y studs wide is in the "small" category.

Another rule: must be operated by a minifig and at minfig scale.
