Well... maybe not in combination with a code golf challenge, but more like an artistic challenge with some theme, similar to screenshot of the month? For reference see for example [Outdoors photo contest](https://outdoors.codidact.com/categories/19) or [Writing challenges](https://writing.codidact.com/categories/20).

So rather than giving a detailed specification of what the program must do, these would rather have some vague theme: "bouncing letters", "decimals of pi" or whatever. Probably something a bit more exciting than dry, formal mathematical challenges though, so that people can get creative.

Like for example make a contest called "autumn leaves" and then maybe someone would post a contribution of a source drawing a fractal looking like a leaf?
