Implemented Would you like to see a "Site of the Month" contest on Administrata?

Hey @everyone

I’ve been thinking about adding a bit more fun and recognition to our community, and one idea that came to mind is a Site of the Month (SOTM) contest. It would give community owners a chance to showcase their sites, and for everyone to get inspired by what others are building.

The idea is simple:

• Submissions would be open from the 1st to the 15th of each month.
• Voting would take place from the 15th to the end of the month.
• The winner would be chosen through a community poll, and we could offer cool perks like a featured spot on Administrata or even some virtual credits as a prize!

What do you think? Would this be something you'd be interested in participating in or voting on? And if so, any suggestions on how we could make it even better?

• We could rotate themes each month to encourage more varied submissions (e.g., Best Design, Most Active Community, Best Content).
• We could consider anonymous voting to avoid favoritism.
• We could consider adding an "Expert Panel" option. A small group of seasoned members or admins that cast votes weighted higher than general votes, to balance popularity with quality.

Although this can make it more complex than wanted.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Feel free to use the vote feature on the thread.

Don’t over complicate it. It’s a staple of this kind of community so it should work well.

Nice. I started one for AAF and launched Nov 1 as well. I'm just trying to keep it very simple.

Can't wait to participate in yours
