What do you guys think? Based on the lack of participation of last year's event, should we even consider something this year? If so, any ideas as to a contest theme or rules to apply? Maybe keep to a simple drawing or something more elaborate?
I'm also not sure how enthusiastic our vendors will be this year. It may be just the mod team donating to the event.

Sounds like a good idea to me. What did you have in mind for the event?

What about entries being a picture of a sword at a holiday (whichever one you want) celebration, event, or setting? That's simple enough anyone should be able to do it. And will give everyone on the forum some pictures to look at.
I like Brother Nathaniel's idea too though. :D

How about a picture of your favorite personal blade for 2021? Could be sword, knife, machete or what not.

A simple picture like that would probably work well.

We could have a contest for:
a) A sword design
b) Sword photo (technical photography)
c) Sword photo (action or other interesting composition)
d) Cutting video
e) Cosplay
Just my ideas. I'm open to whatever the collective thinks is best.

Making it a contest vs a giveaway will seriously limit the number of participants.

I like the idea Rufus has of submitting a design, an artistic photo, a cutting video, etc... I enjoy doodling now and again and I wouldn't mind submitting a design.

Making it a contest vs a giveaway will seriously limit the number of participants. I'm with @edelweiss on this one, I think a giveaway would be more ideal and better overall. If members are worried about overflow of "new members" joining just to get something free we could do a 6 month to 1 year member history as a rule for entry. I'd donate a sword to a giveaway if it happens.

I'd donate a sword to a giveaway if it happens. That's a very nice gesture! We are still throwing it against the wall to see what sticks. Leaning towards a contest with VERY lax rules to enter. You would have to enter to win, but the entry would be as simple or elaborate as you decide. More to follow as we flesh it out. Feedback is still wanted and appreciated. I'll announce the rules and prizes later this week.
