Questions about contest preparations! Morals contest

[Mercyque]

Hello, my name is Mercy and I'm hoping to host a contest next year but have questions regarding it's setup. So without delay here we go!

Questions:
1) How long at longest is a contest here acceptable to run for?
2) Would you prefer the judging to be delayed in order to give many more prizes? In the form of 8 total honorable mentions, each worth 50$ USD.
3) Would you prefer either of 3 or 4 themes to choose from?

Will leave the questions at that for now. So as to not overwhelm anyone.

Thanks for reading!

Sincerely,

Mercyque

The current official SH contest, the Metus contest, runs from the 30th of August to the 1st of December.

The Yuri Garden's annual competition also runs from the 1st of June to the 31st of July.

So, while I don't think there's an official limit to how long a competition can run, Scribble Hub users are probably used to to about 2 to 3 months of running.

Okay, then I'll have to start the contest later than expected. But that's okay.

You don't have to make it run that long if it's stressful - I'm sure shorter competitions would be welcomed too.

It'll likely run for 2-3 months as that gives time for allotting the prizes and browsing entries before judging.
