Are the girls up against folks who aren't maybe quite girls fully? Or are we playing Olympics style?

I understand that an entry fee will weed out the "fucking around submissions" but surely there must be a different way to do that than taking all the girl's money?
And to where are the collected money supposed to go to? Improving the forum? To ICS for being so kind as to keep the forum alive? To fight piracy? Or free drinks at the next convention? |
For those of you who seem concerned about the entry fee, let me break the basic numbers down for you as there are several reasons we are charging for this.
For a solo model or solo model's site, if their entry into the contest nets them one webmasters who sends them 5 joins in a month, or 5 webmasters who send them 1 join a month, they have covered their entry fee. That doesn't even count for the rebills.
For another industry professional who throws her hat in the ring, the networking opportunities and conversation starters they will get from the expose can easily cover the entry fee from deals they will convert or turn into direct revenue for their company.
Additionally these ladies will be able to post on GFY looking for votes and get two weeks where they can reach out to the community and try and win this contest. During that time The focus will be on them not only in the posts they make trying to get votes, but also for all the webmasters who go to the missgfy site, even from other contestants efforts that will see them. All of which can turn into joins or business.
$100 is a small fee in comparison to the expose and the potential prize.
