I love Suzy and want to see her in the banner of course but isn't she technically not a grump? She's barely in any episodes and she has her own channel instead. She's like Holly. Neither are really grumps. IMO I think Suzy's inclusion in the banner should be encouraged but not required. I think more people would enter the contest if they didn't have to draw her. Every contest only gets a few entries. It would be cool if we got more

I noticed that most of the banners make Arin/Dan/etc. look kind of fat/ugly/silly/a charciature/etc. but it's kind of mean to draw Suzy like that. Suzy is usually done in a completely different style. I think that discourages people who draw a very stylized way from even trying to make a banner. Some people just also don't know how to draw women in a flattering way but are fine with drawing silly/weird/etc. looking guys. They probably wont' bother trying to make something for this contest in this case. I think in order to allow more diversity in these contests, it would be better if Suzy was optional.

I think included her should be heavily encouraged but not required.

just my two cents.
