I think a game can be made in a month.

I think a story can be written in a week.

In terms of timing, I think it would be ideal if you made it on the 1st of a particular month and then ended it at the end of that month.

Tried that with this one; didn't work. People needed more time.
While you
can see an idea from beginning to end in a month, it does depend on having an idea.
Add time to form an idea from a given theme, to develop it, to write it, to edit it... all this fills up hours. And people can't always devote time every day. And then there's writer's block. And then there's Going Away on Holiday and Leaving your PC at Home.
Then there's the issue of when in the year the competition falls. Are people doing exams in America? Are they doing exams in Europe? In Australia? Are people moving between educational institutions? Are they working? Are they preparing for big events? It'd be pretty annoying if I gave two months to write a story or draw a picture when people were meant to be revising for their Most Important Exams EVAH.
So I'll give people more time next time. I'm gonna start a discussion for the art competition here in the new year; since I don't do much art myself (cus I'm pants at it) I'd like to hear from some more artistically inclined board members.
