As already said the last time, i'd not exaggerate the frequency of those
competitions, designing a good scene takes some time so unless you
explicitly want a short time contest some longer time for the
competitions would be good IMO.

The idea to restrict usage of objects to certain types is an interesting 
concept, the french 'Defis' contests had one with only boxes:

A contest which only allows one mesh or one isosurface would be 
interesting although the latter surely would lead to exorbitant 
rendering times (ABX could send his IsoCSG teapot...)
