"...to suggest we begin another contest. Maybe something to do with adjectives?"

Adjectives are the entry-grammar to gerunds. And nobody wants to go there.

Bare infinitives are clearly the way forward.

Well, simplicity is nice, but I would want to go with the passive infinitive or jump right to irregular conjugations.
