Why is contesting to get an award for the wrong reason?
I compete to win.  Or at least I hope to and so do lots of other 
contestors.  Otherwise why compete?  Competition is fun because someone 
wins.  And winners should be rewarded.
I have fun trying to win.  Maybe you just have fun doing it for the heck 
of it.  I'd rather not compete if I am not intending or trying to win.  I 
have better things to do with my time.
