The idea seems good, but there had to be a minimum of local participation to qualify for this consulation prize.
Because there are some local tabs with many entries and others with just one or two.
If we have more than two pizza submission we should generally accept them, as long as they have collected any votes (and that is not easy to achieve).
We are not talking about big rewards here, that is why they are called consolation prizes.
Even just announcing best local pizza submissions would be nice to have.
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
Best Pakistani Pizza Participant - Appreciation AwardGood idea.
Local boards can do this separately, but I think it would be better to have all thus unified.
