I can't speak for PCGuy obviously, but I think if the members were willing to contribute some prizes (either money, or we could offer to donate cannon parts to be used as prizes....) I can't see why he'd say no.
The big issue is that, PC funded the prize money for the last contest out of his own pocket (and it probably paid for itself in the publicity SpudFiles got, and the resulting advertising dollars, but maybe not).
Maybe someone would like to donate a propane meter, or a modified sprinkler valve, or a QEV, or some gauges, etc... to be used as prizes. Maybe each contest entrant should have to throw $5 into a prize pool.
Just thoughts.
On another note, I have a fun project up my sleeve that probably has no chance at first prize, but maybe second.....
Peace,
Pete Zaria.

I demand a recount lol.Remember killjoy's FEAR in the last contest? I ended up getting more votes even though the hybrid I entered was about 200 times smaller than FEAR.
(Not bragging, killjoy, just using it as an example:)
Count me in on the contest. Another prize idea: Maybe someone could donate a gift card for like homedepot or lowes or something....

As for the prizes, parts may be a problem, as they won't match up well in other countries.
A small entry fee would be acceptable, but I'd just rather a friendly contest where the prize is just recognition of a fine piece of work.
That's partly because if I should win a prize, the commission and rates of getting it turned back into GBP would severely deplete any winnings.
@Killjoy: Interesting idea, how would that work for the people who don't live in the US?
While I'm here, I just thought I'd start some psychological warfare by saying that my automatic combustion plans are finished.

Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?
