So here's the idea that a friend and I came up with.

We're building a setup that would completely automate (or as much as possible,
automate) the process of having a lego design contest.  We'd like to start
having conpetitions running soon, as we've got a lot of the backend done
already.  We wanted to have different types of competitions (dioramas, limited
size, unlimited size) and have that in it as well.  I think we've come up with
about 9 different "theme ideas" so far for contests.  The goal is to have the
amount of time to manage and officiate a contest with this to be under 30min
in total over the contest's life.  [More time to look, build, and daydream.]

So does this sound like a good idea, or am I off in outer space?

[For those technical types: we're doing it with a MySQL db and php.  we even
have our own machine to run it upon.]

Well, sounds like a fine idea to me :-) My only concern is there is getting to be so many contests (...) (23 years ago, 19-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.contests)
