Contest length...

Howdy,

So, I wanna start running "monthly" contests but I'm not sure how long the contests should run... generally speaking.

For example, I need some new buttons so I'm thinking about having a contest but wonder if I can run the contest to the end of the month or should I just run it for a couple weeks? I'm concerned about people's attention span... ya know?

So, if I started it now and ended it like on the 25th, that'd be good? Or, start it on the 15th until the end of the month?

Well as an example we start forum of the month on the 20th of the month till the end of the month. It all just depends on what kind of contest you're running.

For posting and referral competitions I would say around a month.
Anything else, somewhere along 1-2 weeks is fine.
