Thanks for the note/interest--I plan on rolling out basically a monthly competition going forward, so fear not--there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

out of curiosity, what type of competitions/prizes do you think would entice you the most to participate (when you have the time)?

Cool, that gives me enough hope to at least try it. Currently writing on my essay, I hope that you enjoy it :)
Thanks for hosting that challenge btw, I hardly ever write although I like it, but now I have some motivation to dedicate a couple of hours to that challenge. Also really cool pics you post all the time, do you browse /p/? They might enjoy this a lot
