These are the questions that need answered. I'm keenly interested in hearing suggestions that will add depth to the concept.

I can see why an avatar contest would not be fair. Especially on Trisphee because you have no avatar creator system. So I can see where the value of that type of contest would be low, compared to other competitive Events. That being said, you can do them more fairly by restriction, for example, restricting a person to using commons only or say restricting to 5 items total, or a total cost. Those are a few ways to equalize things across the board and there are other ways too.

To add more value to the contest it would have to probably be item-based. Win an item type of thing.

But it seems to me that if you want to attract interest and give out some items you would be better off doing something alternative rather than an avatar contest.

After reading the posts and thinking about the comments, I think you all are right about avatar contests on Trisphee.
