EDIT: Just re-read the thing about stating why, so I’ll add some notes.

I’m sure most of these have been suggested, but I’ll toss in votes for:

This was an ongoing (I believe it went 5 weeks) contest encouraging role play. I Will Follow was the host, but I am 99% sure that co-credit should be shared with Natalie Petrov as it was very much a SRSLY based thing.

A cool and unique puzzle contest that was themed to the hacker clbum, but open to everyone.

FAIL’s on the spot rpg paint contest.

Awesome klan rp themed mystery contest.

SG’s comedic customer survey contest that inevitably lured many new players into becoming Flamebate posters.

The carol contest. Fun and funny. The original idea is here, but he toxxed on the contest. Contest was finalized here.

How many players can be baited into revealing their own and everyone else’s alts?Log in to see images!

ForumWarz:Because we are bumholes.

Top Model.

A couple that deserve it when they finish:

Idol.

Uniquely game based. A .moar spading contest that has made the wiki much more complete and accurate. Possibly the only contest ever held that will have a long term benefit for a good chunk of hte FWZ user base.

I left out the official CZ contests, but many of those were outstandingly fun.

As a side nomination, while he has never held an “epic” contest I believe that Nillo has offered the most interesting and unique contests and should be considered for his overall contribution.
