Re: AGA2K3 $ Info
Hi,
I am in agreement on the first prize only category/best of show for
prizes. I also think that some cash prize for best of show would be cool,
like $100, after all the entry free is $5. For first place, maybe a TAG
subscription/PAM/old TAG/?book store...but that is getting higher, the
CD/DVD/etc things that we can provied from our inventory.
In the past I thing the first year was the all glass tank, one year was a
check for $200, don't know what the other year was....
So maybe a 100 is low, maybe not, not sure, but I don't think we have to
award too much for the first prizes that hasn't been the case in the past
(it was like $25 Arizona Aquatic Gardens Gift cert...I am curious if they
donated this year, if NOT then I would be willing to contact them about
the contest)...anyways just some additional ideas.
