I hope no one considers this as a viable alternative. I fly in contests for
the pure enjoyment. There is no way I will pay double entry fees to fund
cash rewards for contests. Contest attendance will probably decline.

Frankly, trophies/plaques, no not the kind on your teeth, are a joke!
Dust collectors. I say forget the plaques, double the entry fee, couple
the money spent on plaques with the additional money from higher entry
fees and fly for dough. If in additon to that you feel the need for some
other type of recogniton as well, throw in some of those vellum type paper
award certificates(cheap). Id happily pay twice the entry fee for a two
day to fly for money. In fact Id be more willing to pay double the entry
fee to fly for cash than pay half that and fly for some silly, dust
collecting plaque. 100 people paying an extra 35-40 bucks entry would give
you 3500 to 4000 to split say what five to eight
ways, top five open fly for cash, top 2 res cash, winner 2m cash or
something like top 3 open cash, first place res and first place 2m cash,
paper award certificates for all the rest of the places. Higher placings
geting of course the greater dollar amounts.
I mean, even bowling leagues bowl for cash.

The longer I look at the words "plague" and "plaque" the weirder both
seem.
Webster says "plague" is a scourge and "plaque" is a trophy and,
incidentally, the only kind worth winning IMHO. The aluminum/brass
plates have other uses and the wood parts make great bases when drilling
a hole in something.

Uhhhhhhhh, are you REALLY sure you want to give the winners the plague?
keep the main trophy the way it is but just give a small non returning
plague to the 2-5 or 2-3 spots up in front of everone @ Visalia.
