IMHO, it seems pointless to limit a contest to a single theme. If not no theme, why not allow multiple themes? Limiting the contest to a single theme, or even multiple themes, in theory limits the creativity that can be used in the entries. How significantly it limits creativity is debatable, I won't get into it. It may even limit the number of entries the contest will get. (if a potential mapper doesn't like/is not comfortable with the chosen theme, theres a chance they will choose to not enter)
Maybe these contests could become the souce of entirely new themes.
