topic followed by two topics with piece and or size limitations then another
large topic.  I'm also concidering making an entire round 6 weeks from topic
announcement to announcing the winners.  one month of design and submission,
then 1/2 a month of voting.  Does that sound a bit better?

would just not giving people enough time to work up and complete a
