Some candidates:
Heavy, Pattern and Round.
Past themes:
Serif, Reverse, Love, Inline, Handmade, Connected Script, Stencil, Illustration, Sportscomp, Future, Counter
The round candidate sounds intriguing and could create some clever prospects
That being said, each sounds exciting
Good news, Boss! Some interesting sugestions (IMHO): Italic - Fantasy - 3D - Outline - Recovering - NoSquare (no use of the square brick in the font) - Alienglish (alien glyphs can be reads in english, well it's so simiar to Fantasy, ehem)... I'm still thinking on it!
Talking about your three proposals, any of the three will be great to see in FS, but if we talk about the wildest I go for "Pattern".
I was thinking abouts Sans-Serif
Medieval, Fraktur, Blackletter
Dot comp
I propose a change from a known typographical 'style' : how about intertretation of a thought or concept? I think it could be challenging as well as opening rarely explored paths. Suggestions are "Hidden" , "Liquid" , "Across Borders" , "Merry" , "42x24" , "Signs" , "Midsommer" , "Bad Hair Day"
I think the 20s would be interesting, between Fraktur and Art Deco - especially in the area of public space: stores, street names, metro, advertising...
I love Aeolien's line of thinking. Would be really fun to see how people run with a more abstract assignment. "42x24" and "Bad Hair Day" in particular avoid any specific visual prescriptiveness and so I think would result in a more diverse and imaginative bouquet of creations. I can't think of any other ideas right now but I like that direction.
About 42x24, you could upscale a 7x4, 14x8, or 21x12 design by 6, 3, and 2 times the size respectively…
Wide: Many or all glyphs must be wider that they are high.
There are many great suggestions here. I’m only going to go with one concept for the upcoming comp, but the list of ideas for future comps is many times longer now so I’m glad I asked. Thank you all! I’m going to prepare the blog post in the next few days/week.
HeavyComp. PatternComp. HeavyPatternComp.
LightComp. HeavenlyComp. HeavenlyLightComp.
3DComp. DecorativeComp. StreetArtComp. 3DDecorativeStreetArtComp.
Extended: all glyphs must be expanded that are wider.

I think it will be possible to do a "No latin" contest, where both illustrations and patterns can be included, and alien fonts and fontstructors can experiment with other writing systems.
no latin? ooh id love that
Reapeated: Letters inside a letter (both letters have to be the same)
Unfit letters?
I have a problem when cloning fonts:
I can't clone it, and it gives me a 403 forbidden.
@lucapri Were you attempting to clone a font that cannot be cloned? If so, of course it will give you a 403…
Bad Handwriting/Cartoon
@BWM It happens in EVERY font. Including mine.
I was thinking... Use another account.
nevermind you cant do that
Oh and @Sychoff you could do a music font and there's an music character set inside the Unicode set
Structure
That would normally be 3D, @GeilsiEDU
@meek Would you add DARK MODE to FontStruct?
An interesting theme for the 2023 Fonstruct Comp would be "Fire".
I wonder if code would be a good theme for the next competition?
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m looking forward to the next comp. Please put pressure on me to run 2 next year!
Bauhaus inspired? I have a pixelated version in my fontstructions!
Broken or decay
mr meek add a new mode which is like stack but instead of stacking on another brick it cuts the brick something like that
letter in letter or ascii related
when is the next comp
is the 2023 comp ever going to appear???
also downloads dont work
saves dont work
I like it

i wonder what happened to the t-shirt button
Bubble: no straight lines allowed!
"20th - Bring back the Nostalgia"?
when will the next competition happen
I'd rather take a glimpse at a language with hundreds of symbols.
Another idea: Dot Matrix (You can use any brick, but should resemble a dot matrixas close as possible)
Addendum to the Dot Matrix: It can be as tall as the competition will allow
Fonts that resemble health and cosmetic products: like a squirt of toothpaste, cups of makeup, aftershave, eyelashes, hair extensions... u name it!
That would be waaay out of my comfortzone, but probably a lot of fun
Meek, there is no Clone button in the mobile version of the site, can this be fixed?
Structure!!
profiles?
@dmitriy: actually there is, but i'm not suprised you didn't find it. you have to physicallyput your device in landscape mode for it to show up at all.
possibly "lines"
I was thinking of "Pixelated" or "Futuristic"...
Maybe contrast?
What about me
