Default Friendly contest to promote forum participation

I'm not sure if this will fly or not but I believe it would be fun to watch and I myself would love to see the outcome of it.

The contest would be ran by WPW, supported by the members, for the members.

Description of contest.

1. Admin of WPW would pick a topic of their choice.
2. A thread would then be posted in the breakroom area of this forum with the title "contest" and the topic of the site posted in the body.
3. The members who wanted to participate would then create a micro site on that topic (X pages deep max). They would have X time from start of the contest / date that the topic is posted. You must be a member BEFORE the start of the contest to participate.
4. At the end of such time a link to the pages that were created would be posted to a thread.
5. A poll is set up on this thread and the members would cast a vote for the best page.


Prizes

WPW has many members in many different fields. Some run stores, while others do SEO / SEM etc. In short the prizes would be donated by the members. Depending on the donations there could be a first, second and third prizes.

WPW would take a prize donation promise from members who wish to donate to this cause before the start of the contest. So members know what they are competing for.

Do we really have the members support to pull this off? I'm not sure, but I would donate to the prize pool just to see the outcome.
Who else would? hehe

Just an idea.
