Whilst prizes may not be your motivation for entering, they do play a part. They also help promote the competition as the providers of the prizes normally mention them on their website, so they are as much a marketing activity as they are bonus for the winners.

In terms of letting people know, there are only two places news will be posted... here and on the competition site itself. At the moment, I'm aiming for a July start, so you don't have to check everyday... at least not yet.
