Real Prizes and other suggestions?

[Lord Prism]

A few nights ago, Beamer and I had a conversation about the possiblities of a prize.  He suggested putting it up for dsicussion.  So what do you guys think about having actual prizes like south Park Plushies or DVDs as prizes for the game making contest.  If we were to have prizes, they would probably at max be $15-20 USD.  

After the initial novelty of a game making contest wore off, the second contest was pretty pathetic compared to the first one.  I would hope something like this would boost the amount of games and effort spent on the game making contest.  Now this is definately far from a final decision and probably will not be included in the next contest.  But, if anyone has any other suggestions, post them here too.

Thanks for the input.

Perhaps a collaboration prize in which the winner gets to make a game with a SPG elder. It could be interesting. Sort of like those prizes companies give away that no one wants, despite how glorious they supposedly are. Like a "Backseat ride with a real Nascar shithead" or a chance to "be on the set of a real Hollywood movie! OMFG!"

Consider that.
