Great idea!!! At first I was annoyed that you couldn't enter both, but after understanding the reason, I support it.
2. What kind of prizes would you like to see? (From this contest or in the future)
- One-of-a-kind items? (suggestions please!)
- The traditional items
- Magic?
- Maybe instead of an OOC prize it becomes an IC related event between your character, the gods and the SWP?
I really really really Like what Riven said about special enchanted & named items, like god artifacts/steeped in old Helovia history or something. It's so cool 8D
I also think a prize for enchantment of items would be really helpful! So not a custom item, and not a regular item, but a prize to enchant a current regular item - you can dot hat currently via VOTG, but just like your character can earn magic at VOTG, sometimes it's nice to just win magic too and not have to quest.
On a related note, item augmentation? It'd basically be like, passive magic for items. More decorative, than useful, so they could be added on top of enchantment. An example being like glowing, harmless fire/lightning/water (any element really) runs along the length of the item.
Also what about a prize for companion magic? Now that normal companions earn their magic like characters do at VOTG, it seems like it could be a useful prize :)
Last but not least, I really like those cute little trinkets sometimes given out at drops or SWP stuff. Like the markings earned by the sun god burns, the little glowy things won for the shipping plot, godly feathers or flowers or tokens or whatever - they've not really useful, but they're special and fun and I love them <3
