Here are a few of my thoughts...

To make it a fairer competition people should be split into beginners and none beginners because people who have got experience have a head start. Then beginners go against other beginners and the same with people who do graphics alot...so each competition would produce two winners....one from the beginners group and one from the other group.

People should only get to submit 1 or 2 banners...they can make as many as they want but then they have to decide themselves which 2 they want to put forward to enter. Rather than voting on the "best banner" people should consider the improvements of the designer, the use of colour, the use of techniques etc.
