Nicely-put...one question do there have to be different threads for each thing? example:
Does there have to one thread for the entries
One thread for the voting
and one thread for the awards?
and when you post the winners do you have to make some sort of banner for them?

Do you mind if I sort of reply even though this was meant to be answered by moderators?
Okay - I have heard of people demanding that there be different sections of the Contest section for the threads of each of those three topics you named; however, it's far from definite. I have seen people create three different threads, so I'm sure it's okay. However, I've also seen a whole contest completed in one whole thread. So I'm not sure. It's very organized either way, come to think of it. Creating three different threads organizes the topics, but it'd be nice if it was all under one whole thread so that everything is together.
As for banners for the winners - I'm not sure it you're required to do that, but it would be nice if you did, so that the contestants and winners actually receive something from the contest. The awards can be any size you want, normally with the winner's name on it along with whatever titile they earned (first place, second place, etc.). And it would be nice if you also gave Honorable Mentions awards to those who participated in the contest, even if they didn't win. That way, everyone would have a good feeling and would have gotten something out of all of it, because participating in these kind of contests can be nerve-racking for some.
I hope I answered your questions; I did the best I could.
The only way entering in your own contest would be unfair is if you weren't going to have a public opinion poll to decide the winners and were instead going to have them judged by a group including yourself.
