The prize money has to come from somewhere and I don't have a problem with someone making a few bucks to sort through the entries and decide which they like best. It's like buying a lottery ticket, or any gamble. If it's fun for you and you're not spending your rent money and not counting on a win, go ahead, as long as the prize really is what it is presented to be.

To each their own. Personally, I'm busy paying the mortgage and all the other bills that keep a roof over my head so I choose hobbies that don't cost much, buy books used and use the library. I have nothing against others using their money for whatever they want to.
