Yeah, you can be a judge.

IDK, you'd be surprised at how many people on this wiki want to be UOTW. If they haven't gotten it in a while yet haven't had the chance to edit enough to earn it...they'll want it, more than a userbox, because being UOTW implies having done something important and/or helpful during the week while a userbox is just that, a userbox, which is exciting but isn't a personal thing that may make a person feel more valued, more useful, here at the wiki. You know what I mean? And their OS/Art/Video/Whatever can be linked on the UOTW template in the description. And no, it wouldn't be the featured fanfiction because that ruins the point of the monthly vote and makes it unfair to a person who just happened to be working on some non-contest fanfiction that same month. Plus, it would complicate things because we'd need to keep switching between voting for a fanfic and using the winner of the contest...etc. You understand? The featured page stuff is for anything to do with HOA even if they aren't part of our community, while these contests tend to be dominated by active wiki members who would probably win the vote anyways if they were making non-contest fanfiction. It'll make it much more of a biased, clique-y system. Also, this is all for fun; the UOTW thing is mostly to help me anyways because it's really hard to find a person who deserves it lately who hasn't gotten it 5+ times before, and that was how the old monthly contest system worked. (Besides, if someone likes the OS enough they can nominate it anyways)
