It seems like a good idea, so I'll help all of you win MOCotW by telling you many of the things I'm looking for when I pick am MOC of the Week winner. These are in no particular order.
1. Custom - The more custom your creation is, the better. Custom MOCs really show the skill of the MOCer. Still, you have to make the customness work. A custom MOC that doesn't look the greatest will lose to a non-custom MOC that looks awesome. 
2. Name - Yep, as small as it may seem, a good name is actually a big part of catching my attention for MOCotW. If you have "A Dark Hunter" as the name for your MOC, you'll be less likely to win than if you named it something cool. "A Dark Hunter" is good for a subtitle in the MOC's topic, but not for the actual name. 
3. Picture - THIS IS A BIG ONE! Make sure that when you take pictures of your MOCs, you have plenty of good lighting. Nothing ruins an MOC more than a really dark picture. Make sure that your images are clear, and not blurry, and try to have as clean and pure of a background/backdrop as possible. 
4. Pose - Don't just stand your MOC straight up. Do something cool with the poses, have it running, or shooting something, or just showing off its weapons, etc. B)
5. Color Scheme - Another big one. Color schemes are very important to me when judging MOC of the Week, and there have been many, awesome, even custom MOCs that haven't won MOCotW because their color scheme could have used improvement. 
6. Recommendations - If a lot of people are recommending a specific MOC as winner, I'll pay a lot of attention to that MOC. Also, don't be afraid to PM me with a link to your own MOC. Just be sure to tell me why you think it's worthy of winning. 
However, I don't want people begging.
There, those are a few pointers to help you win MOC of the Week. I'm quite sure that if you put all of them to good use, you'll win. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
