Everyone loves stupid 'contests'
Throw away money? Fine if you're a non-profit. There are a spattering of groups offering "contests" for videos, and then are shocked when they receive crap. Who would put an investment into a good video if there's a raffle's chance of being chosen? It's stupid. These contests want to have their cake and eat it too, they want 10 $5000 videos for a paltry $500 prize. It's shameful, really. Any organization that offers "prizes" ought to immediately be suspect and seen for what they are: bureaucrats without imaginations; stooges who can raise money but can't think of how to spend it!Labels: non-profits, theory
