It might be a bit difficult to actually run though. AOL (and others) are convenient because you can upload to them binaries and all that. Here on the net, we'd have to make sure we shrink and binscii, or compress and uuencode or whatever scheme you'd do. Then, hopeully we would be able to find an anonymous ftp-site to put all the stuff, unless you expect to overload the net (comp.binaries.apple2) with submissions. I dont think we need formal judges, although it would make things a LOT easier. We could just have an address where anyone on the net is free to send in their votes for their favorite piece of software that was entered into the contest. Admittedly, it would be more hassle, but I think it'd be a bit more fair. I guess it depends on the criteria. If you're judging the quality of the code, we'd need someone like Matt or Dave or any of those other Apple-wizzy people. If you want to judge "usefullness" or "how 'neat' the program is to the general public" have mail in votes.
