When Tye Dye Twin took over the ice contest, and ran a fly-contest they went without an entry. Also left off the notion of requiring a placard. You could scratch a word in the mud (or snow) at it was enough.
In MY experience, I feel like the (very small!) fee helps people commit. Sorts out the wheat from the chaff if you will.
Even at that, there are often people who enter, but never post an entry. You're much better at drumming up donations than I ever was. I had shipping costs to address with the awards, too.
I just found the fee and placard kinda helped folks make a commitment. And I rarely knocked a post for the sign not being readable. Guess I considered it good promotion for the site as well.
But if you're running with it, and sounds like you are, you can do it as you please.
But if you need it - here's a sign.
Be glad to help with entries, scoring, etc.
