Challenge-Writing Contest

These rules seem to encourage poorly planned and rushed HNQ-bait challenges

Information pertaining to the contest is here

Competitors here should realize that if they know their challenge is bad, it would be better to forfeit and not post it in the first place, so as to avoid lots of bad new challenges. If they know it's bad they probably have a slim chance of winning anyway.

What if we just have it as an event?

I like the idea of this competition. I would only suggest that the number X of hours be rather large, of the order of a few days (unless that goes agains the spirit of the challenge). People may have commitments or deadlines that prevent them from preparing the challenge in a short time
