I like chocolate too. Not sure how appropriate it is for a contest prize, but I do like it. ;-) As far as a prize goes for a Writer's Forum I think the last prize was ideal; publication. What could be better? Oh, a couple thousand dollars maybe, but... Seriously, I think having the winning entry published in the magazine is the best prize you could come up with. If you have a budget a gift certificate is a good idea. I recommend Amazon.com personally. They are universally redeemable and the recipient can choose the item of their liking. And there is no shipping. They are delivered via e-mail. I thought you were on vacation. Get! :-) jon
