The only problem I could foresee is the single mini category having lots of entries, and the tank-sized category having only a couple, giving those people who paint big things less competition for their points.

I guess this is true, but perhaps that's fair enough for those who have spent the extra time and money on doing a bigger model? Depends on how others feel.

Were you thinking there would be a separate award for each category?

I was thinking more like a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for overall points, prevents any single person winning more than one award and means that everyone gets a chance to win the top prize even if they only paint stuff for one particular category.

What do you think about getting it started for October?

I'm happy to do so but I'd like to hear what Mortis has to say about it all, especially as he'd need to set up the subforum for the posts (pretty sure I can't do that at the moment nabble keep messing with what privileges mods get).

That sounds about right. Perhaps a squad/ unit category, too.

I keep thinking about having squad/unit as its own category but I think just having 'group of minis' as category prevents any 'is this an army, horde or squad' kind of discussions. Either its a single mini or its multiple minis, simple.

And a conversion contest..

Perhaps but I'd run that separate from a painting competition as comparing the two is a little silly.

EDIT: Had a chat with Mortis about it all and things seem to be all good. He's suggested voting be every other month to allow for more entries, I think that's a great idea. Unless anyone else has any other massive complaints I'll write up a more formal and clear version of the rules.
