I think a High school like competition would be interesting<br>where a problem is proposed and a set of materials is laid out which everyone can gather and use, tools would be open but materials would be limited to those on the list.<br>
<br>The other idea I had was to do a traveling project, where spaces would signup to complete as much as possible over the weekend, then must ship the contents to the next space on the list so it is there by friday when they could open the box, and start working come monday morning they'd have to pack it back up and ship it out<br>

<p>Hmmm... this is an interesting pattern actually. Thanks.</p>

<br>
But awards don't need such a hard competitive spirit.<br>
<br>
Here at Voidspace (CCCAC) we currently have one award for our members: EOTM<br>
(Employee of the month) which is awarded monthly to a single member who has done<br>
something good for the space.<br>
<br>
But everbody keeps this award (on his wiki-userpage) so we keep on awarding until<br>
everyone has one.<br>
<br>
Its rather pointless - but funny. And it might eventually encourage lazy members<br>
to actually get one ;)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
