I tend to agree with Ed, but having brought up the pool contest 
comparison, how would people feel about a contest in which all the 
paying entrants get to judge? Say you have 10,000 entries, and at each 
round all the entrants can vote to keep a story in or out? No other 
criteria. The best-scoring 10% of stories go on to the next round. 
Survivor for eBooks...

How much would you expect to pay for the right to participate in the 
judging process?

Jon.
