I'm here ;) The scripts for the GIMP contest were written by yosh (Manish Singh) and Helvetix. Organising the splash contest would be fairly simple. Announce it, point to a place for entries, decide on judges, and away you go. The only prerequisites are a closing date and a decision process. Oh - and make sure to specify a licence for all entries (all entries must be released under CC-share and share alike, etc, etc) and a bare minimum of rules (no plagiarism, for example). One piece of advice - have no more than 2 or 3 judges. We had 5, and it was too many, I think. Or perhaps they weren't very well chosen... Either way, we ended up with a choice which didn't have universal community acceptance, which is important. You could say that the release team will choose the logo, and have one person make a more or less arbitrary decision...
