I've been wanting to do this for a while but I can't think of any contest yet. I have more neck ties than I can organize and they are creating an immense mess. Just to give you perspective- I passed the "I can wear a different tie for every day of a 31 day month," mark years ago. Everyone gifts them to me because they know I enjoy them and actually use them and I still go buy one if I think it looks neat. Now mai waifu J^2 has asked me at long last to organize them and I'm finding it nigh impossible without lightening the load. I take a trip down memory lane every time I go through these ties and I'd keep them all if I could but there are some that I just don't really use anymore. I therefore open the floor to any suggestions you might have of a contest wherein some of these ties and possibly some other odds and ends find some new (hopefully) loving homes. I was thinking maybe a photo competition/ WME time attack competition/ or possibly a creative writing/art contest. Now WME- Lend me your thoughts. << totally not trying to sound arch villanous there.

@J Methinks a photo competition is good...
Those with the best looking setups wins...
You'll just have to set a criteria for it though...

All these are good suggestions and I'm glad this debate is staying productive. I will probably open with something all inclusive and start going down the line to more specific challenges with a different prize and or tie each time. I will need to chat with the IDW guys since there was another challenge there a year or so back to win some LPs signed by IDW members who met at Anime Expo in Los Angeles. I want to go back and look at how they ran that.
I'd love to be able to make that kind of prize where it's something really personal that you'll remember came from the forum community, however with our community so diasporated compared to much of IDW's user base, it's going to be a little trickier.
I figure sending out some of my ties would be a good start considering it's one of those things you guys know me by. Who knows, we might move up into other things. Each tie will include some anecdotes of where I got it and what it was used for since most of the ones I'm giving out are casual ties that did not cycle into my office wardrobe. Could be anything from: business lunch; car meet; awards ceremony and dinner; Driving Wangan style in any number of high performance vehicles; or even combat (the personal kind like in a bar or the gear and training kind).
