With Gas Prices the way they are and the cost of the meats and doing a Comp, you have to have at least $3000 in Prize money to make it worth it.
Not trying to get you down, just the reality of the situations. We would love to have more competitions here in AZ, the limiting factor is getting the sponsorship dollars to finance it. Everything costs money, venues, infrastructure, trophies, etc.
We would love to have more of you help out with events, both planning and getting sponsors for them. All the help is greatly appreciated...
