My suggestion you need to be bold of giving the timeline when it started and when it ended, since the celebration is 14th next month, I would suggest the contest will start from February 14th to March 14th, one month is enough.

In the previous contest, you're asking it's need at least 10 members to join for the contest will be valid. I would suggest you should run the contest regardless how many participants joined. Let's say only 9 members join, it's not fun if the contest will not be valid and no one will win.

Another suggestion you should offer the prize able to convert to Bitcoin, some people who have high privacy don't want to get collectible.

Thank you for your suggestion. My current plan is to give at least 1 month for this contest to run (14/02 to 14/03) and the minimum participant rule will for sure be deleted since I'm really eager to see what "creations" will come out of our members.

Sadly my contest didn't harness any interest [...]
If there's enough positive feedback regarding this idea, I'll open up a more structured post about it in this section of the forum and officially launch the event.

Dear friend, I would suggest you to not abandon such a nice idea after a first failure. Perhaps Helena was right, and setting a minimum number of participants prevented some to join. I am not sure. But you should try again, at least once

I'll tell you a story: I have a merit giveaway thread in Romanian section, which I used to open during winter holidays, asking users only to show how they celebrate Christmas or a picture showing a humanitarian action done by them and I would reward all participants with merits! I launched the topic on each winter, from 2019 to 2022. Guess what happened? Nobody participated in all four winters!

What I'm trying to say is that I did not abandon the idea after first winter, when nobody participated. Nor the second time, nor the third... Eventually I locked the topic after winter of 2022. Therefore I am encouraging you to try once again. If there will be no participants this time either, then maybe reconsider the idea. But I believe that, with some fine tuning the contest will work now

Thank you for the words my friend! In fact, when I told the result of my latest attempt to make a contest it was only with the goal of saying that I didn't run the contest because noone took part in it, as in, my intention was never to not make it. But indeed you are right! Perseverance is something that I admire in anyone, and this year for sure this will happen, mark my words

You may want to delete a "g" (not a G spot

) from "pumpking".

Thank you for that, correction implemented

Sadly my contest didn't harness any interest and I ended up not having any entry for it.

My feedback:

I think you was started it in low visibility board, Meta board should be better to start (like 10th anniversary forum contest was).
Since cooking is mostly a female (or feminine male, lol) favorite activity, their kitchen is bound to get messy if real men are required to get creative in the kitchen. Maybe you should write a provision like, "if you're a man, involve your female partner to create the work".

Regardless, it's gonna be another amazing contest, can't say for sure myself but I'll try my best to enter your vontest this time.

I don't consider (at all) that cooking is mostly a female, or even feminine male activity, but if you see it that way, then what better way to show up your skills than to create a magnificent bitcoin pie (bonus points if kitchen is left unstained

)

As for the remaining replies, thank you so much for the feedback and words of encouragement! Even if you guys do decide to take part in it, it will already be a great success for me! I'll start working on the thread meanwhile
