Help Designing Build Contest

Howdy all, about three weeks or so ago I agreed to help a friend start a club by donating some tier and L$. As time went by and the group (my friend and his buddies who were supposedly in this together) started to realize L$ and traffic didn't rain down from the sky just by plopping things down and logging off, they tried to alter course and since I was already "in" I played along. No almost an entire sim of tier deep and going nowhere I pulled the plug and have learned my lesson. However...

Given that tier day is still a few weeks off and that I am happy to run projects through until the SLCC, I was thinking of staging a build contest on the land for club designers to show off. My idea, and here's where I hope to get suggestions, would be to create three equal-sized areas and offer three builders at a time five days to construct their club. I was thinking of offering a "rez-faux" as an entry gift. After the five days a new batch would be selected. Do this five times (25 days) and offer the winner rights to set up their club and extend it over all three areas for use throughout August. The location is Baekje

I think the hardest part would be determining who should be eligible to enter as just anyone could claim to be a club builder and just waste my time, while at the same time an innovative designer might not have much interest or be too busy with an established club.

Any comments or suggestions?

I think you should ask to see some of there work first.

Parcel the land into smaller pieces and let people build models of their clubs that hand out notecard describing the full-sized versions. Then have a crew of judges pick the top three entries for prizes and you choose one from them based on your own preferences of styles and who you want as a partner.

The hard part is going to be garnering participation. The hardest part of that will simply be letting people know about the contest. Would it be considered rude to go to existing successful clubs to advertise the contest? You've gotta reach those potential designers somehow.

Thanks for the feebback... I guess the reason I was going with full builds was so you could see the interiors which often can lag behind th exteriors in quality.

I just has an in-world discussion group with two people. I obviously wasn't clear that I wasn't so much looking for a partner as using my land for somehing as long as I'm paying for it. The winner would be getting the 1/2 parcel for a month with me paying for the tier and that's all. If they wanted to cut me in, that's fine, but it was more a chance to see if their design/business plan was viable should they desire to move to their own parcel in September.
