Joseph - if you want to cover it, let me know and I'll PM you the credentials for the email account. I think the name is pretty catchy, but if you want to create one that you like better that's OK.
Now that I think about it, you're right the contest would need a thread each month, with the final submissions directed to the email account being the ultimate authority.
I'd be up for a MM1 challenge, but you might want to play it and think about how you would get a high score first. It might be really easy to spam your score in that game by respawning enemies or something.
Might be ideal to open with something with a ton of notoriety, like Donkey Kong.
