Would it be worth running something alongside the monthly challenges, to give some goals for the whole year? I was thinking of having a list of targets (examples below, some big and some small) and you try to tick off as many as possible before the end of the year. Not all targets will be possible for everyone (for example a dwarf player painting a monster) but there should be enough targets so that you've got plenty of achievable ones.
Examples:
1) Paint a monster.
2) Paint a "faction leader" (e.g. Malekith, Greasus Goldtooth, Settra)
3) Paint 1,000 points of a new army
4) Paint an item of scenery
5) Paint an infantry unit of 40+ models
5) Convert and paint a model.
...and so on. I could probably knock together a list of 20-40 targets.
EDIT: for ease of reference, the complete list is:
