I think restricting the set of words to the same for everybody would limit 
the range of entries too much. Instead let's leave it open: any game can be 
used. Part of the skill in this contest is to find the game with the best 
word set!

As well as any games that entrants might be participating in themselves, 
the list of current and recently completed games can be perused. There are 
over 250 games in this list - more than enough.

The prize? The winner will have the privilege of appearing at the top of 
the list of finalists that I will post around after judging, in a similar 
format to the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest. A more tangible reward would 
only invite corruption, extortion and vote rigging :)
