Re: [AGA-sc] [Fwd: Re: [EC] AGA contest sponsor]

I see your logic, but... this is my last year making executive decisions 
for the contest, and I'm keeping it simple.  Don't give the vendors too 
many choices -- $100 per category.  If they want to donate less, it's an 
auction donation -- we're not that desparate that we need to consider $50 
a "sponsorship".  If they want to donate more, they can have two 
categories.  I don't think we're going to fill all $750 worth, though it'd 
be really cool if we did.

The other aspect here is that I would hate to see us go that same 
direction as these popular forums where there are three logos per category 
page.
