I don't think this is about deserving or not.  If Appro, Zazzle or any 
other company is interested in an image from Gilles or me they know we 
are both open to doing contract work when time permits. :-)

I'd rather see the prizes as an encouragement for those participating 
and the whole contest as a chance for people to exercise and present 
their abilities.
