As of right now, fashion contests are very limiting, between the short time span, 6 participants only and only participants can vote. It's still kinda fun, but clearly barely anyone plays in them, which is a shame. So something I'd like to see is an open fashion contest, like some other doll sites have.
Basically, maybe once a day, you have a new theme, and everyone who wants to enter gets 24h to create an outfit. Then, voting is open to anyone who comes by, maybe with a system that shows you two outfits and you pick which one you like best, or a "dislike/like/love" voting. After 24h of voting, every participant is ranked, and the higher you're ranked the more rewards you get.
I think a system like this, with looser time constraints and not limiting voting to participants who may not be online when it's time to vote, would result in more people playing. You can keep the cost to entry, maybe lower it a tad, and the idea that everyone gets a little something would mean less people would see the cost to entry and decide it's not worth it.
