I'll be sorely disappointed if the winner is one of the 'silly' designs or 'cloth' designs. It makes much more sense for the winning entry to be one of the designs that actually looks like it would protect its wearer rather well. As much as I hate to bring up the 'realism' argument in a fantasy game...I feel like it's fair to suggest that the most important target audience should be those who actually appreciate the whole classic approach to heavy armour. It's not as if it can't be both fairly bulky and reasonably elaborate at the same time.
