Bob,

I haven't organized contest, but fish-ins. We oriented it towards families and new comers.

We were 100% ff though, so that was easier. Mixing gear would make for a difficult "contest".

We had prizes at my old activities, but not competitive. Gag prizes, participation prizes, door prizes etc.

Do you want families or just hard cores?
If the company is involved, do they want an activity, a competition or a "bonding" thing??

Good luck. It can be a very nice experience spending some time with the co-workers outside of the office.
