You can always just not give away a prize if the winner's not there to claim it.DynamicPerformance wrote:If thats the consensus, we'll do the contest in a "runner-up" format.
Anyone can enter, but only members will recieve the prize(s). So the person whose movie was closest to the winner recieves the prize.
My problem is when the top three videos are non-member submissions, and the fourth video (perhaps in a category of four) recieves the prize. It dosn't seem to make sense to me.

x2, I know AUSA has a 'if you're not there and you win, you still win but no prize for you!' policy, that's why I had a proxy to spend my gift certificate in the dealer's room. And most cons are generally nice enough to mail out certificates/trophies, as well.jbone wrote:You can always just not give away a prize if the winner's not there to claim it.DynamicPerformance wrote:If thats the consensus, we'll do the contest in a "runner-up" format.

The prize shouldn't be anything more significant than a dealer's room gift certfiicate or something like that, anyhow. That way if the winner isn't there to get the prize, there's no harm/no foul, as nobody's losing money and nobody's bought a prize that now can't be given.
