Respectfully, I must disagree rather strongly.

Prizes, especially very valuable ones, tend to
attract mercenary participants and bring out their
worst behaviors.





Also, large prizes tend to come from corporate sponsors
who never GIVE anything to anybody.  One way or another
sponsors will see to it that a contest is skewed to
promote THEIR products.  IF there are going to be
any prizes, I would much prefer that they remain
small token prizes to enhance the fun of participating,
say a coffee cup with the winning image.

Best Regards,
