Be Creative, Get Games - Interested?

Update: The response to this has been overwhelmingly positive, with not a single "Piss off, ya damn n00b" that I've noticed. Very well then, let the games begin! Give me a few days to sort out the rules, get an e-mail set up, get a wiki or something set up so I can post the entries at the end and wait for my first giveaway timer to end in about five days. First giveaway of this type will appear within about a week and a half, I think. From then on, it will be the first of every month, provided I don't get nuked in the bank account. /update

Just an idea that occured to me earlier today to encourage people to be creative with their writing, their art, the poetry, whatever at the same time as giving free stuff to you all. This is just an interest thread for now, just to see how many would be interested in such a venture first.

Here's how it would work.

Step 1: I will give you a key word to use as a prompt for your work. In this example, it shall be "Cornfield" but it will be totally random with one exception (see below). Alternate word meanings are accepted and, in fact, highly encouraged. If I choose "duck" as a prompt, if half of the entries use it in the form of the cute little bird, and the other half have someone dodging a brick, both are acceptable ways to interpret the prompt.

Step 2: You make something creative that relates to a cornfield. This can be anything: it could be a painting of one; it could be a story about aliens making a crop circle in one or two lovers taking a sunset stroll around one; it could be a fanfiction or original fiction; it could even be a papier-mâché if you can figure out how you'd do that with a cornfield. It can be as simple as a stick figure or it can be a fifty page epic (please try not to go to either extreme though). The only thing that is certain is that the centrepiece, the major plot device or a key line is centred around a cornfield.

Step 3: Send it to my e-mail, which I will give out in each thread, in some sort of file (.doc, .jpg, .png, whatever your format of entry happens to be). Leave your Steamgift profile name and address in the e-mail so I can contact you if you win. Tell me if you don't want me to post your entry to the wiki.

Step 4: Wait.

Step 5: I will read/view all entries and pick the best, based on personal preference. You may be an incredible painter or you may have simply made a funny limerick up that made me laugh loudly and lose six years off of my maturity level. Note: it would have to be a incredibly good limerick to stand up to a quality piece of fiction or artwork.

Step 6: Winner gets the game. You are happy. The rest of you wait until the next contest.

The games: Unless clearly stated, the game will be your choice in whatever price range I set for the giveaway. Any funds not used will likely go towards the next giveaway (hopefully, though the decision will be based on my personal finances at the time). The higher value of game, the longer the giveaway lasts.

The condition on Step 1: Occasionally, I will give away a specific game with the funds I have built up. In this example instance, I am giving a copy of Skyrim. Since I am giving away a set game, the prompt word will be based on that game. In Skyrim's case, the prompt would obviously be "Bugs."

Ties: Draws between two pieces are theoretically possible if I absolutely cannot decide between two entries, in which case, I will discuss what to do with the winners at the time. Possible solutions: send each winner the other person's work and see if one of them is kind enough to bow out if they believe the other should win; split the prize money in half; go all out and get both the prize they want within the original price range if they accept that it will be a while before I can build up my funds to gift both of them.

Is everything clear? Would you be interested in this form of giveaway? It would provide a nice change of pace from speedy giveaways or puzzle giveaways, however fun those are, and would get your creative juices flowing.
