I was thinking of collecting a few submissions and then asking the
community to vote.

re: name published along with the graphic.

I had been thinking more about trying to secure an iPod or something
like that. It seems that all our contests end up with an iPod. Maybe
we should make a deal with Apple or so :-)

But...

Giving credit somewhere in the community page would be very fair. Is
that what you meant? Or do you mean actually in the graphic itself?
