I couldn't find the page using the Wayback Machine, but I did find this, which does list the requirements:

Wizards of the Coast - Create a Campaign Setting Contest | Unknown Shores | Obsidian Portal

This was the original posting for the “Create a Campaign Setting Contest” that Wizards of the Coast ran way back in 2002ish? Next is the template entrants were

That's quite the bump. Like a bump out of the grave and onto the mad scientist's cart, ready for Igor to hook up the lightning collector to.

Somewhere I still have my entry from last time. It was for an unformed world, full of flying earth nodes and such, working a fisher-king type thing that as the mutable lands were populated they would settle towards the vision of the authority accepted by those people, and newer, chaotic lands full of odd creatures would form out of the surrounding chaos. Where magical laws differ from place to place, and strongly reinforcing the old-school idea of high level adventurers will eventually build and claim parts of the frontier and make their indelible mark.

Looking back on it now, I can see how the "contains everything D&D does" that they wanted (unlike the earlier Dark Sun setting) was technically served by this, but in reality wouldn't focus on a bunch of it. And would be hard to write modules for, since everyone's setting could be evolving in different directions.
