I'm sure there are very few of us that enter competitions with the prizes in mind. There again there is now plenty of competition amongst competitions, so it is inevitable the prizes will get more attractive so as to attract the very best.
The idea that I heard yesterday (not mine) was that all competitors that get placed should receive a copy of the competition video/DVD, hardly a great expense to the organisers, but I'm sure this would be much appreciated by any competitors. Maybe this should be extended so that all finalists should get a copy. For the Jive Masters, all competitors received the video.
In my view (I'm sure I've said this before?) I think the most pointless prize is to offer holidays for 2. How many competition partnerships are partners that could (or would want to!) go on holiday together? I don't know what the take up rate for these prizes is, but I reckon it could be a very cheap way out for the organiser.
