RE: [AGA-Contest] update...we have a 4th judge...prize/sponsorhip?



We don't need to have 3rd prizes, I just want to be able to say something about what we ARE giving out, to encourage people to enter last-minute. Guess I'm not communicating very well here.

I want people who go to the website to see that they might receive a nice prize if they win. I'd like to be somewhat specific if I can ("First place winners will receive a 200 gallon bowfront personally autographed by Tom Barr"), but less specific if necessary ("First place winners will receive a prize valued at $50 [$100]..."). I just don't know WHAT to say because I can't get a straightforward answer.

Phil: What can I say TODAY on the website about prizes?

I'm honestly not sure what to say about prizes. In the past only 1st place got anything and I've heard they weren't the best even then. This year will have a vast improvement in frequency and quality of prizes.

I'll be frank, I'm not sure I'll be able to get enough prizes for 3rd place. With the big guns tapped getting another 7 prizes worth giving is going to be harder than getting just any donation for an auction. Why don't we give a choice of a 2004 con DVD, Aquascaping Contest CD, or a year's membership/extention to 3rd placers?

Phil
