Here's a unique idea.
How about we have a snowball war of epic proportions!

Just imagine the possibilities, there could be special Dwarf multicannons that fire snowballs, catapults, gnome gliders to bombard your opponents with snowy doom from above and just your own two hands!
In my head I can imagine a large arena, clan wars sized, with mounds of snow on the ground so players who don't have a Snowglobe can still participate in the fun! Each time you hit somebody with a snowball you get points, the player with the most points at the end of the war wins!
But wait, that would be far too easy! There also should be a way to aim the snowballs and a way to measure how far you'd like to throw it, to keep things challenging.

I'm not done yet! It would be awesome if a "war room" were added where you can spend your points on things like gnome glider air raids, catapult parts, icy snowballs which freeze your opponent, dwarf multicannon parts, snow bombs, and much much more!

Perhaps that can be a Christmas holiday minigame instead :p
There can be a festive, icy portal appear in between the red and the purple portals at Clan Wars which takes you to this magical snowy wonderland :O

As far as competitions in-game go, they would have to have incredibly clear rulings and be as fair as possible so nobody is left out on timezone, levels, time online and such things.
I didn´t witness the Castle Wars Killstreak competition, but any competition which would take a longer time than a killstreak and/or be teamed would see huge problems in execution.
Therefore I think running out-of-the-game competitions is better for a start, BUT: I´m in no way saying in-game competitions aren´t feasible.
Roleplaying competitions are a great idea even though the execution is difficult, but there´s a way to overcome it.
Simply put, the idea is to gather about five JMods (and JMods only to prevent any bias) in a certain area with different themes.
As a matter of fact, there could be three outlined areas in Gielinor: one natural, one urban, and one simply random. :P Then, each player would perform their own roleplay (possibly with a friend, but ONE!) and the judges would note their score without letting anyone else know until everyone had done their three roleplays and a winner would have been chosen.
Of course time is a huge issue - therefore there should be at least five times a day during a week or so when roleplays can be held. It sounds like a lot, but everyone needs to have an equal chance.
Now roleplaying is not a very competitive thing though, so maybe an out-of-game full-blown story competition (with limits, obviously) would be better for this one, especially if there is a separate poetry contest.
However rulings should be kept very clear in all cases so nobody misses out on participation because they were confused on theme, length and other things that may occur.

Best guide on how to kill a mocking bird. (jk)- Could actually work though
So you think you can dance in Runescape? (Just emote dancing, I'm sure you can make up a better name.)
Funniest pvp related video
Competition on videos posted with humongous amounts of people doing the same emote at the same time. The winner will be decided from numbers and what emote.
And of course, "The Unnanounced Search for the Worst Guide on Castle Wars Already on Youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
