What i'm really trying to do is make it so that I can have contests in the gallery. So basically create a contest/challenge called "Character Contest" and then when people upload pictures, they can select if they want to submit it to a contest (maybe a drop down... but it would be better if they could pick more than one). Or... maybe there is a better ways such as they click on a link that takes them to a list of currently open contests and then they can select pictures that they've submitted to add to the contest. That would probably make it easier to submit multiple pictures to one contest and submit the same picture to multiple contests.
Then the admin can easily go in and see what pictures have been submitted to a particular contest/challenge.
I think this would probably be good as a mod. Some added features would be the ability to set an end submission date so that people are automatically prevented from adding pictures after that date (optional of course in case it's open ended) and the ability to specify winners.
What do you think?
