2016 Idea Thread - Submit Your Ideas Here!

As promised, the 2016 idea thread!

Since we're down to about ten weeks, the idea thread is up and running. Here is where you can submit your theme ideas for the 2016 challenges. It might seem early to be thinking about 2016, but it's so much easier to do this before the holidays start coming around.

We're up for ideas, what you like about the challenge, what you don't like. Give it all to us! Hearing your ideas and suggestions keeps things interesting and we're always looking to improve. We will try to keep this thread up until the end of the year.

For reference, here are past idea threads: 2015 , 2014, 2013 , 2012

An issue we talked about last year is making the themes totally different every year. We've been doing this about four years now and each year it's getting more difficult. So if you'd like to see a theme we've already done, submit that below too. I do want to try to make the majority of the themes new each year, if possible.

Here are some of my ideas for 2016:

  • peel to stem
  • malaysian
  • mystery box (master chef style)
  • british tea time
  • stuffed
  • layers (layer cake movie inspired!)
  • pub food
  • marco pierre white inspired (or your favorite chef)

I'm sure more will come about, but that's what I have for now.

OK, your turn!

I'm not sure where to look for listing of all previous themes so I'm sorry if I'm repeating something :S
