2015 Challenge - Planning stages

 I'm looking at getting the annual challenge rolling in February, kind of same Schedule as last year.

So this post is for planning ahead :

Got a round theme suggestion? (and really, go crazy n this one, I know that was the major sticking point of last year's post-mortem)

Want rules to be changed?

Want to volunteer to offer a prize?

Want to help behind the scenes? 

Let me know!

VOTING GUIDELINES

Voting follows an 'Iron Chef' style scoring system. This means you, the people of /ck/, will judge each entry individually instead of deciding on what you feel is the "best" dish.

Dishes are scored out of a total 20 points, based on 4 categories (worth a maximum of 5 points each); Presentation, Originality, Appeal and Challenge Goals. You may award 0's if you feel the contestant did not meet your expectations for a category.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in Appeal.

Signature!

Prepare your signature dish! Either something that gets requested a lot or something you're know for, or anything to make a final impression!

While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

Only one person will win, based on overall points.
