Well, most of our past banner contests were held under a seasonal theme, e.g. autumn or winter. Wouldn't it be much more interesting to go for something fresh and innovative this time round? Perhaps where the dilemma lies is a theme that isn't too narrow or restrictive, but neither too broad or generic.

I remembered the winter one, but the autumn competition totally went below my radar; I mean heck, some of those themes have actually been held twice already. QFT!

Just throwing some random theme ideas out in the open.
I also really liked the space suggestion that was mentioned earlier too

SOTM themes are intentionally specific. The rules used in that contest aren't going to see much influence here. This contest will be run like our previous banner contests. If someone wants to modify one of the SOTM themes into something more general and offer that as a suggestion I'd be happy to hear it, but we are not rehashing those exact themes in this contest.

We could just create a multi-choise public poll thread and decide like that, we have enough options to choose from.

True, but as many of you already know, I'm one in that small community who is always trying to have "guys" on my banners, as the amount of "girls" banners is generally overwhelming...oh well it has always been difficult anyway...
Even when I hear "moe" I think of a cute girl xD

Guys, Girls. I don't care, you can find good images for both but girl usually... have more images to choose from.
I'd like to stick with the Autumn or Winter theme, it is both simplistic but also vague and each user can express what they think the theme is.

I'm liking the "classical elements" theme Cats mentioned, it would be neat seeing which one wins (a fire theme winning would have an almost shocking contrast to the serene sky theme we have now).

We've got a nice assortment of themes to work with. Wouldn't mind seeing more (there's always room for more suggestions), but we do need some gradients to go with them. Between the two we can narrow something down.
