The prize will be gift certificates to Rock Springs and if we get enough teams, we might have some monetary prizes.
Just like the Brisket comps where there isn't any prize money. For a $20 entry fee, it's hard to put up prize money with no big money sponsors. If we get sponsors in, then yes, we will add some to the pot.
Our costs for these events require 20 - 25 teams to compete for us just to break event with Trophies, judging supplies, printing, etc.
These are mainly "Fun" events giving teams a chance to see how their product scores with real Certified Judges. There will be people's choice there, so you will also be able to make some $$ by doing that. I'm sure it won't be hundreds of dollars, but I'm sure you will make enough to cover your entry fee & costs..
Hopefully that makes sense..
