Summer Heat - Shoot an image that represents how hot hot things can become in the summer or how to best beat the heat. The term "heat" can be used litterally or in a figurative way. No sunsets allowed.

Good idea. The way its described makes it applicable to all parts of the world regardless of the current season. I say we do it when it's summer nowhere. Fall in the northern hemispere/spring in the southern or vice versa.
Photochop it! An anything goes photoshop till you drop challenge. Must still be done using only the elements of two or less photos that you have taken during the aloted timeframe.
Take three 'themed' photographs and present them as a tryptych. The theme can be any subject but the three frames must be linked in some way. Use your post processing skills to present the three images in a single 640pixel wide submission.

School Days - shoot something related to academia.
(This means no sports/extracurricular shots. See Below)
School Spirit - shoot something related to school spirit or extracurricular activities.
Extra Rule - you may not include the actual name/mascot of a particular school.
Could make one an open challenge and one a members challenge and have them both the same week.
New subject ideas: landscape, light, shadows, adventure, right, wrong, inspiration, torment, divided, art, evolution, faith, book or movie titles, heros, villains, seasons, change, holidays, love, fear, the-world-as-you-see-it, random photography...
I haven't been a member too long, and I somewhat enjoy the contests because it gets me out shooting, but many of the things listed above by shabbychic do sound a lot more interesting. In fact, a lot of those ideas seem to be in the archives from older challenges. I think it would be great.
I know some of these have probably already been done (before my time), and that some of these may be a bit macabre (thanks art-inept), but how about:
War:
Take a photo of what war means to you.
Fate:
Take a photo of something imminent (could be a reaction to an action, the predecessor to an inevitable event, etc.)
Barns:
Take a photo that includes at least one barn.
Temperature:
Take a photo wherein temperature is obviously an important element of the subject matter.
Death:
Take a photo of what death means to you.
Places of Worship:
Take a photo wherein at least one (or part of one) church/synagogue/temple/mosque/holy site/etc is the main subject.
Communication:
Take a photo of something showing communication. This could be human, animal, inanimate, or the vehicle by which communication is conducted.
Watercolor:
Take a photo that looks like a watercolor painting. (No photos of actual paintings allowed.)
Doorways:
Take a photo wherein a doorway or portal is the main subject.
Stranger:
Take a photo of someone that you do not know.
Crowd:
Take a photo of a crowd of people, animals, or things.
Glass:
Take a photo wherein something made of glass is the main subject.
I also like many of those already stated in this thread too (nature, landscape, artsy, triptych, etc.)
