I like that.

I actually like general categories like these better than those very
specific ones of the last contest. Weren't there about a dozen or so
different categories last year?

I say at least 20 pieces, no more than 600. 1000 is huge today, in the
Blacktron era it would have been absolutely massive. And the categories
should be divided by number of pieces somehow.

I don't want to be an administrator, because I want to build! :D I was
excluded from the first contest because I don't have any Classic Space
minifigs, so I am itching to enter something.
