What is the contest?
 Most creative home node.
How will entries be submitted?
 Make your homenode cool.
If we want to limit participation to only them that want to participate, then we'll need some mechanism to alert everyone that their homenode is in.
How will the entries be scored?
 I have thought of two ways, one is to use the current voting mechanism, but don't use the normal node votes. Each PerlMonk's member gets a certain number of votes for this contest... say 5. And they vote for their favorite nodes. Also, don't show the counts or give xp or anything. Just vote. The second is that people could somehow rank each home node on a scale of 1 to 5 (or to 10 or whatever) Anyway, the homenode with the highest rank wins.
Who will score the entries?
 All the perlmonk's members will be aloud to participate in the scoring.
When/will submissions be viewable by everyone?
 The day that entries will be scored will be anounced, participating homenodes should not be changed. (or risk forfeiture(sp?)) That day everyone will peruse the participating homenodes and vote and the next day the winner will be posted on the gates and given some kind of award. Maybe first place through fifth will get some XP or something.
