VERSION 1: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=95401266
VERSION 2: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=96234165

Idea fully developed by jonman11 with help from the S&I community throughout the versions!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1: HOW TO ACCESS CONTESTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old "Contests" page was removed, so it could be re-added for this purpose, and put between Games and Catalog. It will look like the games page, with category selection, multiple contests per page, and basic information when you hover your mouse over the contest.
The categories could be custom or the same as the ones for games, I'll let ROBLOX decide that one. Once at the contest page, it's pretty straight forward from there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2: WHAT IS A CONTEST?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, to put it simply, it is a user-ran competition for clothing designing, game building, or rextexturing. When you submit an entry to the contest, you will appear on the contest page and be set up for voting. Most votes wins, pretty simple.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 3: HOW DO I MAKE A CONTEST?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, on the contest page is a button that says "Create A Contest". This will charge a starting fee of 50 robux, and you will be taken to a page to set up the contest.

First you need to name the contest. If your name don't suit the category/is unclear, it can be reported and taken down immediately with no refund.

Next, you select what type of contest it is:
Shirt, Pants, Game, Rextexture, or Decal
After that, you may provide a small description. This is general information.

Next, you have to upload a thumbnail for the contest. Yes, you must make it yourself, otherwise it will be a blank background with the name on the contests in a bland font. This thumbnail is free, differently from places.

Next, you chose an end date for the contest. On this date and time, the ROBLOX server automatically detects the entry with the most votes and gives the prizes accordingly

Finally, you are forced to chose prizes. Either Limited items or money may be given as a prize, and the prize is taken from your account immediately. That way you can't "scam" and keep the prize. ROBLOX automatically gives the prizes to winners. You have a choice of First, Second, and Third Place Prizes.

Then you click "Create" and the prizes and 50 robux starting fee are removed.Then the contest is made

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 4: THE CONTEST PAGE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the contests personal page (Similar to when you click on a game it takes you to the games personal page with comments, play, and other stuff), there are a few things.

First, it looks somewhat similar to a games page. It has the thumbnail. the description, it tells you what the prizes are, and a big green button. But this one says "Submit an Entry". You may only submit one entry per contest, and when you do, the entry is added to a giant list when you scroll down the page. That's all the entries.

You can click an entry to go to it and check it out, and then you may vote for it if you wish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 5: VOTING
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When voting for your favorite submission, you are given 3 votes. You may only put 1 vote per entry, so you cannot vote on the same entry 3 times. You may vote on 3 separate entries only. And, you may not vote on your own entry.
When the contests end comes, the ones with the most votes win

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 6: SHOWING OFF!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, of course there needs to be an option on your profile to be able to see how many contests you won, and so on so forth!

I was thinking one of the 3:
- A new stat next to KO's, WO's Forum posts, etc. that says Contest Wins
- A new area like badges, but called Contests Won, with the thumbnails of the contest
- A badge for every contest won

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR SECTION!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the short term, this is a way for users to create their own contests for a fee, set it up, set an end date, and have users vote on the winners. The winners then get the prizes taken from the contest creator. This would bring the community together more, and influence members to do more building to win!

Did you read the post?

This clearly defines how the contests wouldn't be "torturous" and "terrible".

Your grammar made it really hard to pick out your point, but I noticed something about the admins.

The admins did not host a contest in forever, nor will they ever it appears. This way reunites them with a safe, fun, reassuring way to keep the community active.

Thanks to ROBLOX making all my places inactive.

Support. I loved the building contests they used to host, now they just removed it and brushed it off. People are already trying to do contests, but they don't get a lot of contestants in the forums/games, which is probably why bringing the contest page back would help them.
As a side note, if they didn't want to add a whole contest set up, they could just add a "Contests" forum and allow player contests to be discussed.

Well, I see no reason why it should be BC only, I've heard people say this in previous versions, if the NBC player has the money to make the contest and the stuff to award as a prize, they can make a contest.

I may or may not change it in V4 to be BC only to make, but not to enter or vote. Everyone deserves to get involved in this idea.

Thanks for the support!

That is a good point. But many NBCers would use it as a way to get money.
I.E. "I wanna make a contest! Please buy gear from my game so I can make one!"

True.
I believe making it BC only to make a contest, and anyone can take part and vote would be the best solution.

At least that will cut back on the worthless contests, and it provides another prompt for people to buy Builders Club, thus making more money for ROBLOX.

@Soccer

How would they "scam" a contest to get money?

They need to get the most votes from other players on their creation to win the contest.
