I don't see why we can't have more than one contest honestly, and why we can't have more community-sponsored contests over official ones. Sometimes we just need damn practice game developing, and if we have them and not every month it's cool.

As for an "Open" Contest, I know that was being discussed, but you have to find someone who's willing to run it, and allow for teams too. That's a whole different ballgame.
