It seems that not too many people are getting excited over the possibility of winning real prizes in this. I guess the thought of a set of the three volume "Nature Aquarium World" or a subscription to Aquajournal, or an Eheim canister filter, or a couple of LaMotte or Hach test kits, or a gift certificate from "That Fish Place" doesn't elicit as much excitement as a pretty satin ribbon. Now, I don't know if the lack of excitement is due to any real preference or just due to the fact that I might expect somene else to actually co-ordinate the storage and forwarding of prizes (see my previous post on volunteering). But "certificates and ribbons" would definately be simpler and cheaper - IF that's the route the group wishes to go.
