I actually don't like the idea of making it a contest. Writing can be fun, but putting it out there for the world to see can be nerve-racking. Making it anonymous might take a bit of the edge off, but some people might be sensitive to losing a writing competition, and any blows to the ego can be discouraging for them.
I'm fine with the idea of it being anonymous, but I'm really not sure I'm on board with making it a competition. Of course, anything I've written will probably be pretty obviously mine, so anonymity won't do much to hide my identity.
