Since not everyone is as talented as Lex with the Camera, maybe a point system....but not too complicated. I think the most imortant would be the story....since the site is called Pen Passion.

How about having users submit articles that teach a topic (pen repair, pen history), or review a particular pen. The public could vote on which 10 articles are the best, and one could be drawn for the winner of the pen. Those articles will be helpful/relevent even in the future to draw new users to the site.
