Personally, I don't think you should charge - if there is a charge,
no-one will enter. If the primary aim is to get great content from the
competition, you need the barrier to entry to be non-existent,
particularly as entering involved a reasonable amount of effort (i.e.
not just ticking a box).
As for sponsorship for the loot, I will see what I can do, but I can't
promise anything. :)
Could someone mail me with what kind of prizes you would expect?
