And to add, when I held my one & only contest here, "My Home in the Woods" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=111904, my prizes were: 1st place 40yocash, 2nd place 30yocash, 3rd place 20 yocash, plus everyone received thank you gifts for entering worth both yocash and yocoins. I might enter for the love as well as to inspire but for those hoping to get something in return for their hard work & investments, 30yocash, for 1st place & the only place? is very small. This is a Big Viking Games Contest!! a contest held by pretty much the gods of yoworld. & the prize is 30yocash?? & only for 1 person? I don't do contests for the money so this doesn't bother me personally, but out of love for my participants, I would acknowledge & reward as many as I see fit. Turned out all the designers who came out for my contest were amazing & invested a lot for their entries, so they were all rewarded accordingly. But that's just me. & this is just my input.
Despite my reflection i also see the side that a regular contest means regular yc donations, so from BVG's side i understand that they look for a balance. But i do think there is a better deal to be worked on. 1 winner is a sad result and 30 yc is low. There is also no mention of any coin rewards or a special item to gain for any 2nd or 3rd places. To me it's a pretty raw deal and it makes that the glory of winning such a contest actually fades. The question to ask is: why would anyone want to participate if their chances on winning are so slim and the prices are stripped of any prestige or means of refunding a bit of your efforts? It becomes just less special and thus winning a contest makes doesn't hold any glory. And in that case you're better off decorating according to your own rules, wishes, creativity and budget. And in case that you want recognition for your work, you just slap some photos of your decorations in the photo section of the forum. The result is also basicly the same: you have lost a wad of coins and yc (because with one winner of 30yc, most participants won't win unless they're very lucky) in your creative exploits. Sad to say that the only real difference is that you can totally do what you want, are probably more happy and don't have to mind any hassle because of any hopes. And on top of it you can do it according to your own budget.
Only my opinion but I think it's a great idea so thank you Jess 
, which equates to, more yoshopping lol, which means, everyone wins!! 
lol
