As for me, I already said it, it would be great if Beamdog makes a contest of poems, short stories, drawings.
This forum is full of really creative people who, with no doubt about that, can share something special related to BG and IWD: a portrait, a novel, a song and so on.
Also, it would be fun if we could get a continuation of a wonderful series of contests:
Oh sure, discriminate against all the untalented, uncreative, lazy people on the forums!
Those of apathetic persuasion should rise up and strike back at their more motivated brethren! Unfortunately, uprisings are ever so much work, and this couch is so comfy. Still, I vote for a contest that requires no skill or effort whatsoever. Sadly, I'll probably forget to enter it anyway, but at least some other less forgetful person of meager skills will have a chance.
I take it you didn't read my review it definitely wasn't a masterpiece. I would put myself firmly in the low/ non-existant talent group so yeah one for us
If you have any comments on prizes, feel free to drop those in here too! We tried to give out some more unique prizes this go-round because I suspected people interested in leaving reviews would already own copies of our games (our default prize). Tabletop stuff? Dice? More t-shirts? We don't have tons of t-shirts but we're looking to get more printed in the future. BG mousepads? (We don't have those either but maybe they are cheap to print? Does anyone use mousepads anymore?) A signed glamor photo of Phil?

Why aren't you guys giving away mousepads with a glamour photo of Phil? That'd be neat xD
How about a unique item for use in any of Beamdog's current EE offerings? The Wand of Melcanter or something.
Because you can make one in 5 minutes with DLTCEP, or because the Infinity Engine is both so studied by non-developers (modders) and limited that hacking whatever they want to add to the game can be done in a relatively small amount of time?
Yay, thank you so much for running the contest! I will reply when I get my DnD starter set.
I also considered asking for maybe some BGEE memorabilia like some signed art or some poster too (since you were already shipping to me) but i didn't want to be greedy! =P
Just quick suggestion on the beamdog announcements: can you be sure to include a link to where in the forums we can discuss news and contests in the future?
Edit: Just got the package. Thank you for running the contest and sending it out!

Congratulations, @skinnydragon , @Wonderboy2402 and, ahm, @bengoshi ! That was so fun!
Thank you, Beamdog, for this contest and a nice surprise.
Amber_Scott in her post on the blog asks us to suggest future contest ideas. Come on, let's do it!

And, congrats to the previous winners!
(No offence Phil)
An Alvaeus Malcanter autograph on this beatiful picture (drawn by @lolien) would be an awesome reward:
Something like adventures inside the Beamdog office aka the travelling to the chocolate factory of Willy Wonka.
Trent should be Wonka.
