Sounds fun. Now I just need to finish a TwiJack story...

First prize is 200. 200 what? What is the currency you're working in? Dollars?

I am so in

I'm just asking because at the current exchange rate £200 is worth $266 so if I win, I'm going to ask for the prize in pounds and then covert them to dollars and make me some extra money.

Why does this proposed contest feel entirely sketchy?

5361138 Oh good, it wasn't just me, then.

Long deadline, very specific requirements (almost commission-y so), no pre-arranged judging panel, no mention of how the prize money will actually be delivered, and he admitted he'd be willing to drop an extra $66 because reasons.
Frick, what if it's 200 Kenyan Shillings? That's worth like $2.00 USD.

You can totally say the prize is worth 200 euros. 200 euros is worth about $221, so I'd totally still participate.

Welp, the man has spoken. There is no risk that this is a legit contest; we can thus safely assume that it is not.

I for one find it unlikely that you have on the order of $450 USD to blow on a TwiJack contest, but then I don't plan on participating, so it's not my problem. I just don't want anyone else getting burned.
