Lately, it seems like the gallery has had a wealth of contests, all running at the same time. I propose a solution. At first, we should only have one, maybe two if both are different concepts (custom figure and a build-off, for example) per month. Second of all, we should standardize the end of contests to "Winner(s) will be chosen on the last day of the month." That way, everyone will never have to wonder about the due date for entries. Third of all, we should use this forum post to plan all contests in advance.
For example: I call dibs on the month of January for a retro reboot contest. Say that someone else, like @JoeFilms, for instance, also wants to run a contest during January, about whatever. Both of us would get on this forum and decide if both contests are different enough to run in parallel (as in we both aren't going to run a contest to make a custom Elite figure).
Let's all get to planning!
By the way, I have dibs on January for my reboot contest.
