I concur that the contests would benefit from more publicity. I have only seen
them mentioned at LDraw.org and here at Lugnet.
I have no idea what costs and resources are involved, but what if LDraw.org
advertised the contests on Brickshelf? As events this summer revealed,
Brickshelf occupies a central position in the greater community of LEGO and
LDraw hobbyists.
If advertising is not financially (or philosophically) feasible, what if
LDraw.org opened its own Brickshelf account showcasing contest winners and
current candidates? This would not replace the existing pages at LDraw.org, but
might direct attention to them and to the contests, particularly if the gallery
was updated often enough to appear in the "Recent Folders" page.
It may be that ToS/committee/regulation/ratification/parliamentary conflicts
obstruct the latter approach, too, but that's OK - my point is to consider ways
of leveraging the obvious popularity of services like Brickshelf to attract
attention to the LDraw.org contests.
