question!
about size.
Sniper rifle, Rail gun, Gatling gun w/ backpack are handheld size?

I'd say that would count.
Weapons such as tanks, mobile infantry, ballistas, catapults, cannons and such I wouldn't consider handheld weapons.
yup, anything you can hold in your hands / wear on your body.

I want that slapchop...
If we make some sort of weapon that a person wears, is it alright to include a character wearing it as a demonstration?
sure, but only as a demonstration of function, so untextured geo only for the final presentation, but rigged and posed is not a bad idea...

I would just like to clarify, seeing as SlapChop aka Vince are the unofficial sponsors of this event. Should we refrain from using likeness's to said sponsors rights.. IE.. a SlapChop Weapon.. or a Vince 'Slap-a-ho' in a box toy?
I ask only because I consider...

I think those are both way too obvious, but if you're out of ideas in a week, I won't disallow...

sounds interesting. i'm not very creative, but if i think of something good, i'm definitely in this.
it doesn't have to be your idea, you can ask for help or use someone elses idea, just make sure its kosher.
