Speaking of years, thanks Rex for all the time and effort you've put into them. I do hope you'll at least enter a few from time to time. You new guys have some big shoes to fill. Good luck!
I would also like to see a link to the design contests on the front page. But the real spotlight should be on the design competitions and not the weekly photo mod contests--the monthly contests are just more prestigious and are more deserving of the front page IMO.
Finally, If someone wins the monthly contest you might also consider allowing them to choose the next contest as an award.
Just my thoughts!

And thank you for your thoughs, we do appreciate them, and are interested in hearing them. The happier the forum members are with the contests, hopefully the more there will be participating!
I do have to agree that Rex really does deserve a big thanks and a pat on the back. It really is a lot of work to get all of this together. Hopefully A.J. and I will be able to keep things running smoothly from now on.
Something that we are trying out for this month is having the photoshop competition last for the entire month rather than just a week, mainly in hopes that more people might want to participate. The longer time perod may give those that may not have all of the experience with photoshop a chance to take their time in the competition, and let them be able to perfect their work.
One thing that we have planned is possibly making a thread where everybody can post theme suggestions for future contests. You will definately be seeing some slight tweaks in the way that the design competition is set up next month, nothing big, just some things that will make entering for you guys and managing for us easier. I do like the idea of the winner being able to choose what the next design contest will be. I'll have to see what A.J. thinks about that.
