How to implement custom timing for a SharePoint 2010 Survey?

Question

How can I implement an Employee Of The Month survey?

I know how to add a question that will allow one user to select from the All Users List, but how exactly can I make this survey reset itself at the end of the month?

I am also interestead in implementing a custom timing for this survey, let's say 5 weeks, and not exactly one month.

Thanks

Create your survey and save it as a template when you've gotten it how you want it. Once the survey has run it's course, set the permissions to read only, determine your winner, delete the survey, then create a new one based on the template with the same name. URLs will continue to work that were previously distributed and it makes relaunching the survey much easier.
