Making a game should not be a contest but a collaboration. Only way for a game to be a contest is if it is text based. Something as simple as a tetris clone requires a lot of effort. Create a menu, do you save games, keep score. How do you select items, use the mouse? Use a GUI? Which platforms? Games is a topic brought up time and a gain. Ironically creating games is what gets people into programming and requires a dedicated programmer to accomplish. Gaming companies have a team of programmers for a reason. Even if you have all the tools setup, you have to know how to use those tools to create the game you want.
A game for a contest would need at least a Month long deadline. And a few restricting specs would be advised as well. So, there you have it. My $0.02 worth.
