You know what? I seriously think that next year Miss Dukascopy 2015 should become something completely different.
I think Dukascopy should give up idea of blogging and doing weekly tasks in this contest (maybe not 100%, but do not make it as the main criteria though) and do more SHOW. By show I mean that it should be actually about beauty and popularity, because the idea of "beauty, popularity AND successful trading bloger" is not working really well this year.
Here is my concept:
1. Every Forex Event during the year Dukascopy selects 10-20 most beautiful girls registered for this contest and invite them to the Event for competition. Their selection can be also based 50/50 on their votes that they will collect within the community, which will guarantee website popularity, but this is optional. Girls should have good profile filled with their interests, passions, general information about them etc.
Jury then selects Miss, 1st Vice Miss and 2nd Vice Miss and giving them special prizes, + online sympathy receives something more, there might be also separate prize for event guest votes.

- This contest during each Forex event takes, let's say, 20-30 minutes of the event, but all the guests are having so much fun by looking on beautiful girls, girls can also do some tasks on the stage before guest voting for the best one (like e.g. answering questions and posing in different roles/outfits, singing or dancing, depending on their talents)
- Dukascopy and event guests are selecting, let's say, 3 best girls who will then participate in the main event in the end of the year
- Dukascopy can make contest jury and invite some influential clients or bank partners/famous people to become ones, which will guarantee more interest from the media etc.
- Every round best girls are receiving some nice presents from bank sponsors (like gift voucher or nice jewellery)
- Dukascopy is publishing the winners and people outside or community insiders can vote for them online during the year, which will then give them some advantage in the final battle or maybe give them separate prize for online popularity.
Jury then selects Miss, 1st Vice Miss and 2nd Vice Miss and giving them special prizes, + online sympathy receives something more, there might be also separate prize for event guest votes.
- I truly believe that this type of organisation of Miss Dukascopy contest will bring more public attention, potential investors, media recognition and satisfaction not only to Dukascopy bank itself, but also to their guests.
- There will be much more Show attributes involved, Dukascopy employees won't need to struggle with blog content and so many technical aspects of this contest.
- Let's face it - this contest is far from trading subject anyway, so why do you need to deal with some random people not really interested in the trading anyway and not having fun of it if you can actually make it much more entertaining for everyone?
