I think its great to have all these comments (in this forum) - it will help me provide better details for future contests. I would also like to hear any other contest related suggestions.
Please post away any suggestions relating to future contests, prizes, judging or whatever.
Hear is some questions I have for YOU:
1. Do you think we should have 2 contests like this?
2. What other type of prizes would you like to see?
3. Would you like to see more prizes (first, second, third place)?
4. Is 4 weeks long enough?
Cheers,
Stuart

1. Yes. it would be unfair to match up rookies against pros.
2. A trip around the world? j/k... anything that will contribute to better PHP development. What about a free PHP course in a college near the winner's area?
3. This idea is great.
4. 4 weeks is long enough... it's good to have time pressure (if there is any).
Just to add, I think it would be great that after the particular contest is done, all the entries with their submitter's username be posted somewhere on this site. Not the whole code, but just a brief description and comments - it will help the submitters think twice about their 'blundering' mistakes so next time, they can do better.
