"Coming in the top 33 of 114,000 photographs is more pleasing than coming 1st in 10 entries"
I get the point you're making - I think. But I'm not sure I agree. I'd rather be first out of ten truly awesome images, than first out of 100000 second rate ones. While I'm not sure the entry fee will have any change to the quality of the shots entered, it may make people stop and think before submitting something under par. I don't think its a huge amount of money. It isn't beyond what most people could afford. Personally I don't enter many competitions, but I'd rather have the kudos of winning a competition than a cash prize for second. So I tend not to even look at whats on offer.
