Gryphonbowl Prize opinions wanted...

As a bit of a departure from the usual vouchers/miniatures prizes I'm thinking of getting a piece of original art as first prize for the GB1.5. It's picture of Gryphon in a medieval style

Anyway here's the pic:

It measures 16" x 12" and is signed by the artist. Just wondered what you guys think...

Cool...I like the idea!

erm...framed or unframed?

From the artist:

The giclee image is 12"x16" and is printed on heavy archival paper using epson archival inks, has a foamcore backer board and is packed in an archival clear plastic sleeve.

So backed but not framed...

art is a very subjective thing to have, this isn't something I'd put on my wall personally

i'm in the camp of having no prizes and cheaper entry though

prizes just encourage ppl to take the better races and those who go along taking weaker races are really just subsidising the prizes for those who take the better races

it is more about going along and having a fun weekend, the winner already gets the NAF trophy and obviously the bragging rights, they don't need more than that imo

obviously making it cheaper would attract the maximum participants as well

I'd like that as a prize.

Hmmm...good point on the prizes, I hadn't thought of that. I could just spend the cash on more bacon butties

Thanks for the input guys.

@Darkson - www.etsy.com if you want to buy it. Just stick 'griffin' in the search box, it's on p.3 if I remember rightly.

Don't you guys get fed at home?

We'll have doughnuts in the morning, biccies and stuff, bacon butties at lunch and drinks through the day. Should keep you guys in trim!
