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

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

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?

Thanks,

  - Erik
