This is just brilliant and sums up my opinion also. I'm no entering my books in any contests just to get a sticker/graphic...

How about this idea... Line up some sponsors and make the awards a series of advertising campaigns. If a book is good enough to win a contest, the contest should be worth winning; ie, it would help to further promulgate the title. So... let the award come with three months of prominent ad space on an equally prominent website. I'd like award to be in a mag like Locus unless there's something better for the purpose. Or something like that, but not just a peel & stick gold star in the form of a graphic about which only other authors will know or care.
