How about a forums competition? Sort of like a quiz. Remembering all features of the forums, old forums, etc. It doesn't have to be like this, but something that involves the forums as a whole.
P.S. Mod Paul M, I wish to speak with you urgently. Can you please contact me through Message Centre? Thanks. I would really appreciate that.

In a different game I'm currently playing along with RS (I'm not mentioning which), the GM's hold regular events with their players to keep everyone busy with something fun. Here are a few samples of what they do as suggestions for Jagex to try out for their competitions:
1.) Hide and seek- A GM hides in some area of the map accessible to a certain level or genre of players, and uses a server-wide shout tool to give players a clue as to where they're located, as well as a required item which can be bought from an NPC stock (e.g. one bronze arrow, a fremnick cape). The clues tend to be obscure and cryptic, requiring the player to figure out what the clue means, as well as the location of the well-hidden GM. In the other game, it's a race between all players on the server to get to the GM first to win a prize (with a few different hiding spots each event to account for maybe a lucky player as well as preventing others from feeling left out.
*If styled like a race, multiple events should be held to accomodate timezone differences, computer issues, inability to log in, etc. The prizes should be corresponding to how many winners there are.
2.) TNT PvP events- Players within 10 levels of each other above a certain level threshold are grouped into parties of certain sizes and pitted against each other in a safe PvP zone. The winners get a special prize unique to their success, say, a special event costume or piece of equipment, genie lamp giving x amount of exp, etc.
3.) Escort Missions- Players in small teams attempt to escort a GM character through a hazardous course across the world map against other players while monsters and other hindering features attempt to kill the players and the GM character. Players are allowed to kill the other players currently escorting the GM character, and if they can successfully kill the other group of players, take over their position and keep going. (I'd suggest another safe PvP-enabled zone to prevent item loss).

(Continued) Prizes vary by number of events and winners (again, like the TNT prizes).
4.) Game Trailer Video Competitions- Players attempt to make and submit videos which identifies and emphasizes the game's strong aspects, which is displayed on the game's youtube channel and their home page.
My own ideas:
Quest submissions- Players do their best to write a new quest for the game, winning quest gets implemented into the game judged by the developers/employees at Jagex
Another costume contest. Enough said.
Agility course idea submissions- Players map out and describe/come up with animations for a new agility course.
More to come (maybe).

Something I always thought would be fun - dont really know what to call it, but its a sort of time trial for different things
as i see it, it would be seperated into 2 categories - team, and solo
for individuals you would start in lumbridge respawn point with no items at all - clock could start after typing a specific word or phrase and then without using stores/bank/trading you must complete your objective. of course - fastest time wins. multiplayer objectives could still start with nothing in lumbridge, or possibly allow resource gathering items (hatchet/pickaxe/ect) due to increased difficult - or even cash to trade other team members so armor and potion trading would be possible with trade restrictions
possible solo objectives
f2p
kill a lesser demon
kill a greater demon
mine a copper ore, tin ore, iron ore, and mith ore
p2p
solo the kbd
travel to ________ (isfardar/pictaris/anywhere far away)
kill jad
possible multiplayer objectives
p2p
kill all of the dagannoth kings
kill each of the godwar bosses
smith a full set of runite armor
kill one of every type of dragon

I think it would be fun trying to beat certain times, and a lot of strategy would come into play as to how well prepared you are for the battle vs how much time you take to gather it. It wouldnt simply be who can play the longest or most concentrated for a certain amount of time, but instead who can strategize the best, as well as possibly luck with drops for equipment.

Thanks for finally giving us all a chance to put our imaginations to work, Paul. I've got a couple of good ideas to lay on you.
1. I'm only fourteen, about the average of most players. What you don't know though, is that I've been playing the piano for almost eleven years. I bet that if you asked around players, most of them would tell you that they have played one, if not many, instruments throughout their life. This is why I think that there should be a competetion for original RuneScape soundtracks. The winner would get their soundtrack to be one of the in-game sountracks. I love the audio team at Jagex. Keep up the good work!
2. I think there should be an item creating contest. Something completely different. I've always wondered how you crazies came up with things like the Dwarf Multi-cannon. Like somebody already said earlier, there should be a competition for players to come up with new concepts for the game; item concepts would be a great place to start! And the winner's item idea would be put into action.
3. There should also be a competetion for new minigame ideas, in which the players would vote for their favorite minigame idea.
4. A survival contest: place all the players who would like to take part, in a safe free-for-all, and the last player standing takes home the gold (coins). Players would battle other people near their level. There would be a pit for levels 3-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc.
5. I liked "The Zero"'s idea (I think it was him); earlier in the thread, he (or somebody else) said that there should be a competetion to see who could get the most experience in an allotted amount of time. Hell, that's probably one of the best ideas I'd seen in this whole thread...until I started writing mine. (: I'd like to add to his idea, though; players would be in an environment created by Jagex -- they wouldn't be able to take part while anywhere in the game, because there'd be kids trying to use penguin points and experience lamps!
Thanks for reading! :D

Monsters Brawl.
You are in a room with fellow competetors of your combat level and are surounded buy monsters.
You fight off the monsters and gain pieces of armour and weapons from drops.
When all monsters are dead its a free for all fight.
Last player standing wins and the losers go back in shame.
After all this the winner goes into a brawl with past winners of other games until there is a final winner from every combat region.
This was thought of by Oge.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Say cheese for a free puppy.
