Ok guys, I've just been donated a 12 month Xbox Live subscription and I think I'm going to be able to get more cool prizes in the coming months. The only problem is I don't know what types of competitions to run...

Reply to this thread if you have any ideas for competitions.. Like I said, I'll get the prizes but I need a concept/event first

Well we can't do much..But most cool one is posting competition.

Yeah posting competitions aren't really my favourite... lol I want to do some sort of submission competition, but not sure what is general enough...

yeah we can either do that, or if you want something more hearty we could do a tut contest, each person can choose a game and make a general walkthrough that can be posted in a new section for walkthrough/newbie help. that also may bring more people here if there is one site that you can come to for most games and have someone help you start out and learn the game.

Why not host a competition for a game like Call of Duty 4 or Team Fortress 2? Or any other game that is played a lot by the forum members..

hosting games costs money, so i think we should stray away from that also, if a game is played by alot of members it is not played by all, so why exile those members for not playing one game?

You can host different competitions in different games right? Or perhaps you could have a game competition each week for a different game, that way everyone is able to play atleast some competitions.

Host a competition where you give clues and every member gets 1 guess a day at what the game is. Or maybe you could hold a contest for the top poster of the month.

deviance- yes that is possible however like i said hosting hosts money, and i feel that there would still be people that play games in which you cant really have a competition in(eve, WoW, Warhammer). However im sure if you start threads we can set up days where members can come together and play a game together.

boredg- i'm not really sure at what you mean with your comp idea, but sounds kinda cool. Also we dont wana do top poster of the month as then people will just spam to get there post counts up.
