>events are run by the same people and have the same tone
Can't really do much about being run by the same people as these things are run by people who are basically volunteers.
Best we can do is how we do it on halloween where the judges changes.

As for the same tone though is there a way to fix that?
What I noticed is some people like tradition some like more experimentation.
There are inherent differences on approach for the two.

Tradition allows for streamlining and optimization of the event for comfort.
The familiar is nice and comforting.

Experimentation for variety is nice, new and novel and exciting.
But people tend to avoid discussing it unless it hits a really hard niche. For example I tried to have a discussion about having a trial of courage event for Halloween but had no replies at all about it so there was no desire to have it back then.
