Perhaps, but I think good documentation makes a library more useful.

Do you mean you'd select one or a few of the submitted ideas? Then it's 
starting to sound like two contests – first a contest for the best idea 
for a library and then a contest for the best implementation. But maybe 
it would be good to have a defined task like that. Otherwise the entries 
might be so different that they'd be difficult to compare.
