Shouldn't we hunt for another benevolent benfactor?  David
Lass paid for them last year -- Maybe we should call it the

I'm not sure we have enough entrants that we can afford to
make things more difficult. Better if we could figure out
some inexpensive reward -- Like $5 isn't a super bargain as
it is. Maybe we could list on the website the paid
entrants. Anyone could check and see if they are in the
contest or not -- the unpaid would be unlisted.
