I think so too. 

Let me see if I can think of something to put in the Bid
Doc.  Can I specify approximate values?  I think it's best
to put something in writing but if we're going to do that
we should try to be as clear as we reasonably can.

There's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, in six categories plus best of show,
so that's 19 prizes. So how about something like this for
language under Requirements, Finances Section,

2.3.6.  Donated Items to be used for the Aquascaping Contest
2.3.6.1.        From the items donated to the convention, 19 items
with the approximate values indicated below should be set
aside to be used by AGA for prizes in the AGA Aquascaping
Contest. 

2.3.6.2.        The specific items to be set aside for the Contest
will be chosen jointly by the Convention Chair and the AGA
Board of Director

2.3.6.3.        These 19 items should not be counted as part of
the gross revenue of the Convention but as a ?pass-through?
to AGA

2.3.6.4.        Value of Prizes

        Approximate Value of 
Prize          each Prize         Number of Prizes

Best of show       $200                 1
1st place          $100                 6
2nd place           $75                 6
3rd Place           $50                 6



Does that sound about right for approximate values?
