In 2014, we were able to offer our first-place winner $500, second-place winner $250, and third-place winner $100. In 2015, donations enabled us to increase prizes amounts to $1,000 for our first-place winner, $500 for our second-place winner, and $250 for our third-place winner. With your help, we’d love to increase prize levels again this year.
Guaranteed prizes:
Our goal is to increase prize amounts tenfold through our fundraising. All donation money will go to contestants as prize money so please share with friends and family.
