    How to create a successful contest?

    I have this question for my friend. He is creating a blog with multiple authors. The author with the top post at the end of each week will receive a special prize. He have an arrangement with a US based online store that makes this very easy, and I get free shipping.

    Here's the problem: Many of the authors who want to contribute do not live in the United States, and if they win the contest I cannot afford to pay $20 for international shipping.

    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? What can he do differently?

    Thank you!!

    How about giving them a prize like a book on business or writing that they can download electronically? Great prize, no shipping to worry about.

    ^oh, that's quite expensive. Maybe, you can suggest other web-based prizes like free domains, templates, ebooks or hosting service. Otherwise, if the prize is worth to deliver; you may ask them to shoulder the courier (but that's a burden i know!)
