I like some of the ideas here:
I do enjoy those, so I'd love to see it again.
Yes, I believe OROW 9 was the most recent. There always seems to be a sizable gap between these competitions.
I'd love to see OROW again. It's tough, because I have limited time and would only be able to give about 3 days to the project, but I've always enjoyed the competition either way.
Summer seems far away, maybe having a competition in winter would be good? And maybe we could have a TWOR (Two Weeks One Room) or something like that? Just a suggestion for those lacking time.
I like the idea of the Box Art Competition...
This is a good suggestion. I think that the competition will draw more participants this way, and people can be more free to create anything. Like a Game Pitch Competition, but instead of using words to pitch the game, you simply use a single image of the front of the box. No words aside from the title. So, like a Box Pitch Competition.
Or everyone should be free to choose any game from the archive that they did not create. This makes it less redundant, adds freedom, and encourages people to go looking through the archive for the game they choose.
Both ideas could work. 2 Box Art Contests...
Don't forget the Monster Workshop:

I'd be open to more Workshops. They are fun, and they motivate me to actually work. I need all the motivation these days.

And finally, here's another suggestion I'd like to throw out there. I know it's a long shot, but it could be great:
How about a collective project? Like Draculator II: Byte of the Draculator...

Of course, there would have to be a project lead, someone who has the time and patience to put all of the pieces together. If I had the time, I'd volunteer, but I do not. I'd gladly participate, though. I think many would.
So how about it?

Lastly, I'd love to see OROW come back. Maybe some time this summer would be good?
I second that, July would be perfect for me
Very late, but I really want the OROW competition to stay alive as well. I could host one next summer maybe? Or someone else if they feel inclined. I really enjoyed hosting OROW 9 and wouldn't at all mind doing it again. I think it has to be summer though which makes my timing for coming back to these parts of the internet pretty bad.
BTW: Is OROW 9 the latest one? That was 3 years ago nowTime flies.

Maybe going with a theme like most of the other competitions would be better than a specific game. Or maybe something like the game pitches.
