This is just me Matt, but I really don't care what the prise is if any at all. To me just the recognition of the hard work you put into the car is ample reward. It's always nice to have someone congratulate you on your work. I always feel good inside when someone pays me a compliment over being given a trophy. |

Trophies are dust collectors and space wasters. What's the prize? Money? that would be sweet. Or even car parts! |

I prefer trophies.... there isnt many charity shows that give out prizes unless it's something small that was donated by the sponsors, such as a voucher from Cheapa Auto Spares or a book, etc. |

definetely a prize, say a gift voucher, cause a trophy is kinda useless. i mean yeh it sits in ur room and u get to look at it or whatever. but say there was a gift voucher for autobarn, u could put it on ur car to enhance how it looks/sounds/performs and then if somebody asks u 'whered u get that neon' or whatever u can tell them. but thats just my thoughts |

what you are all forgeting is that matt will be running this as a fund raiser. so every prize that is awarded either has to be donated or payed for out of NewlyAwakeN's pocket, so lets try and keep it a little realistic. |

yes please keeping this realistic would help but it looks like trophies will be the way to go .... |

I would choose trophy however that could hurt the hip pocket depending on how many you are planning to get made. As far as I know they are not the cheapest things in the world. If it was me, I would be happy with anything, even if I didnt even get a trophy/prize, it wouldnt bother me. More money would just go to the good cause then. And it wouldnt be wasted on silly little things. |

Matt, I strongly recommend a certificate and maybe a gift voucher donated by a sponsor etc etc. At least that way you can make the certificates up at home on your computer. Trophies are a ridiciolus price these days! |

yeah but i am going to try and get a local trophy place to do a few for free .... like a donation of sorts if you know what i mean ?? |

Hopefully someone will be this generous in doing so....Unfortunately not everyone has a kind heart. Anyways if you are keen on getting trophies and there is a cost involved Im sure that you could work out some kind of donation thingy from all the boost cruisers anyways. How many were you looking to get made up? |

Matt, no offence but I think it would be pretty rude of people to expect a trophy or other expensive prize when the whole idea of this is to help charity and raise money to help those people lees fortunite then ourselves. I mean I'm sure 99.9% of boostcruising people would be grateful for a mention and maybe a certificate. |

Actually now that you guys have mentioned it, thats a good idea. For each category that you have matt (ie car sound) link up a company to suit to sponsor one trophy. For example you could have something like Best Interior - sponsored by Precise Trimming (i dunno what ur catergories are this is just an idea!).. but yeah. |

me to man. BJF Web Design will also be happy to donate money for a Trophie to go towards the day. Just let me know how much you will need. |

i reckon the best thing to do would be like a perpertual trophy for each category, get one business to sponser each one (like the Autobarn trophy for best sound system) and then make this event a yearly event and the winner each year gets their name put on the trophy. so like next year the winner would get their name on the trophy plus they could see who has won it b4 them |
---|
as much as i would love to run a charity event once a year it's a lot of work and time preperation needed .... lots of authority from the council and takes it out of you ..... great idea but this one is being held to be in honour of a special event for myself to show my respect .... and i'm sure everyone else will feel the same |
