Contest Question/Idea?

I was wondering - will there ever be a primarily creative writing based contest on this board? I was kind of interested in the current CCOS, but I'm primarily a writer so when I saw all that technical legwork that was required (making a kit and fleshing it out and such) it kind of intimidated me. I'm sure there are artists out there who might prefer a primarily art based contest that doesn't require any writing either. Of course we could just post these things without there being a contest at all, but contests are fun and I like participating in them when they're available.

This is also just a completely wild and out there idea that I thought I'd throw out while it was on my mind, but... I was reading about an old MOBA called Dawngate (never played it, but I think some of the characters are neat - [finger guns @ Zeri and Faris]) and this line about how they handled their lore from their tv tropes page interested me: "The game's story is called the Living Lore, literally written by and for the community. The creative team at Waystone gather stories written by fans of the game and have the community vote on which outcome they most prefer." Now... keep in mind I never played Dawngate and was not around when it was "alive" so I have no idea how well this worked... nor would I want League to go completely this route because that would honestly... not be good or healthy for the current narrative in my opinion. But if there was a writing contest and the first place winner's story became canonized in some form I think that would be a neat treat if it were possible.
