    My contests are only for new content. I don't reward members for just making responses as I need new articles and blog entries and new discussions most.

    Best avatar for Halloween was a popular contest on our forum last year. We had a lot of fun there too. Everyone dressed up as favorite character and posted photo as avatar. We picked the winner. There was no big prize but it was a success.

    This idea could be adapted for a Christmas related contest too. Or, really any holiday including Valentines day.

    Some good ones for a forum are Posting Competition, Referral Competition, Graphic Competition, and even just a random number drawing one.

    You could have a competition for best article or tutorial submitted for a category and offer a nice prize for the winner. This idea would draw some attention from established and new members alike.

    There was one forum with a contest for the best thread. The winner is the one that gets the most comments. I did not find it interesting because for sure the member with the most number of friends will win. In one local forum, I joined a contest for the funniest anecdote. It should be a true story. I did not win but it's worth joining because I know that many members appreciated my anecdote.
