icopress I want to make public suggestion for next year Pizza event, and other members can comment if this is a good idea or not.
I think it would be a good idea to have small consolation prizes for best pizzas made by each local board, but only in case if they didn't receive any reward in main competition.
For example, we had several members in Croatian board, consolation prize would go to the local member with most votes.
It should be the same for other local boards but members need to be active there to qualify for consolation prize.
This could motivate local members to create better pizzas and it could also increase local activity in forum.
Based on the success of this year's event, I guess it would be too much to ask from the organizers to handle everything. It's quite a job to organize and compile results; it's not a one-person job as we saw. So I think it's the local board's responsibility to conduct internal competitions if they want. For example, we are already organizing a small reward of $50 for our participants to choose the
