I'm not convinced of the merits of an avatar competition. I mean, it's not exactly hard to see a picture and make a 64x64 pixel avatar from it.
For those of us who actually make our own avatars rather than making use of work by a professional artist, we're at an immediate disadvantage... I fear originality would not be rewarded...
At least sig banners involve some degree of artistic talent - even if it's from a composition angle... Would it not be better to compare banners instead?
