Y'know these kinds of contest.
1) Is it something that Paizo could do?
2) Does it sound like a good idea ^_^ ?
I don't know, you guys at Paizo could hold an annual contest or something.

Which kinda means that unless you need a job, you need to consider carefully whether you want to win it. It struck me that for the last couple of rounds you couldn't expect to win if you already had a job (any job) because you simply wouldn't have time to write the stuff, regardless of the quality of your ideas.

That's not entirely true. I'm pretty sure each of the previous winners had day jobs at the time. Heck, almost 90% of the freelancers writing material for Pathfinder have day jobs. There's plenty of time to do the writing, but you certainly have to make a commitment. Writing game material is fun, mostly rewarding, AND a lot of work.
