That's just what I like about the current assignment competitions - they make me get out there and shoot something that I wouldn't normally and encourage me to work at my photography rather than just snapping away. But I can understand that if photography is your living and what you do all day, it could be tedious then having to go out and shoot for the competitions as well. Plus having the theme gives something to judge by - how well it has been represented as well as the quality and standard of the photography.
But I'm always game for more competitions so this sounds like it could be fun.
How about that you have to submit a set of photographs on your chosen theme, perhaps three shots, showing different representations of the same thing or a series perhaps? I think that might give the judges something to make a comparison with - ie how well you hae represented the theme - especially if you want this to be a competition of high standards. Otherwise it is very difficult comparing one random shot against another.
