Chocolate Level Design Contest was made so all these things (that usually make a Chocolate Hack) can resonate into a beautiful song, ASM, graphics, music and everything else dancing harmoniously in a wondrous display of excellency no other can comprehend in a small, short and sweet environment.
Besides, we have a contest for Aesthetics: The "ExGFX" Contests; however the current one restricts you to one theme and is also annual; which is kind of strange: Why can't the annual one be complete aesthetical freedom, and bi-annuals more theme oriented?
We also have a contest for music: "The SMWC Idol" which is very interesting to follow and vote in.
Chocolate Level Design Contest, I think, was made for the ASMers. People who don't know ASM can still participate, just don't expect to place too high unless you can cleverly use the resources hosted here VERY well and/or clever-like.
