Perhaps the contest should only award prizes if there are at least a certain number of entries. If a particular topic doesn't attract writers, no prizes get awarded that time around.

Either that or go back to a 2-week schedule which gives more people a chance to participate.

Also, I have been on the board for some time and just recently discovered the contests. How about putting a sticky at the top of every board announcing the current contest. Then folks who don't visit this board will know about it.

I'm hoping that the lack of entries was simply because the topic was a bit more difficult than others we had put forth in the past. That being said, I think that all three articles were top quality and have no problem awarding prizes to each.
