You know what would be useful (and if I wasn't competing right now and up to my eyeballs with stuff to do for tomorrow, I'd do it)...
A summary thread that lists the comps / threads eligible with direct links and names to projects as a stand alone thread. A "table of contents" if you will for people to nominate from without having to dig through a years worth of posts (or discussion in the comp threads...which, this is a perfect example why discussion should be kept out...yeah yeah, I know, pot calling kettle black...but, it's a good practice).
