Possible expansion of Pyggy Awards

We all know the feeling. The theme choices are announced. You begin wracking your brain, trying to come up with ideas. One of the themes catches your attention, and you come up with a brilliant idea for it, one that grows over the next week until you can almost see the whole game in your mind's eye in all its glorid splendiferousness. Then the winning theme is announced... and your hopes are dashed when it turns out to be your least favourite theme!

If we wished, the Pyggy Awards could provide a place for these games-that-never-were to have another chance at life. I'm thinking about adding another division, called the Subjunctive Division, where you are allowed to enter a new game based on one of the PyWeek themes that didn't get chosen.

What do folks think? Would there be any takers for this?

I think that's a great idea - though I'm not sure at this time that I'd enter since I'm hoping to work on my actual PyWeek 10 entry some more :-)

Do you think it should be just for the themes of the previous PyWeek, or for any PyWeek?
