Hi All,

We have been planning a car customization contest to run in parallel with the Time Trial Olympics.  We want to let you all know what we have in mind, and get your feedback on it.

1. This contest is open to everyone - not just those who are particpiating in the TTO.
    
2. You will be required to do a completely new customization for this contest.  No grabbing screenshots of ones you've already done.
    
3. In order to ensure compliance with #2, there will be a theme for this contest - you should design an "Official MRR Livery".  Just imagine if MRR was a sponsor - what would our race car look like?
    
4. The car you choose to customize is entirely up to you.
    
5. Only one entry per member.
    
6. There will be prizes for the top five winners.
    
7. The winners will be determined by voting polls.  In the case of ties, there will be additional run-off voting polls until five clear winners are determined.

At the very least, the feedback we need is to figure out how long the contest should run, as well as how long the voting should be open.  We were thinking a month for the contest itself, followed by two weeks of voting.

If any of you can foresee problems, or have suggestions beyond the above list, please let us know.
