I strongly vote for "preset" niches AND content because it WILL be most interesting (at least from my point of view) to see what they made of it. It's also much easier to compare that way..
5 niches to choose from sounds good.
and the web voting is a bad idea IMHO. perhaps lensman is able to find some kind of "board add-on" for invisible voting results, and of course only those who registered before 15/5 will be allowed to vote..
this way "cheating" is probably still possible but it simple WOULDNT HURT as much as a "hitbot" for web voting because there are so many hundreds of board members who can and will vote... if some designer asks his buddies to vote for him to get the $3000 tv it does not really matter for the final result
