Don't forget about the bishops, pontiffs, and saints! We have a couple of the former, a couple of the latter, but no pontiffs yet...

I personally think something like the POTM contest would be great. I think we approched something in that spirit with the Mad Libs posting spree (spread over many nodes - sorry no links right now). Maybe have multiple awards, such as Most Efficient (i.e. fastest), Most Elegant, Shortest, and Most Obfuscated. Bonus points for winning more than one award for the same program. :)
