Crowd-sourcing our prizes

Continuing on from what we did for a prize last year, we invite the players of Oscars Predictery to contribute to a crowdfunded prize pot which will be awarded to the winner in the form of vouchers of their preference, e.g. Amazon voucher or a gift card for their local cinema. Our hosting and coding sponsor, MOVINGWIFI LTD, will cover the transaction fees and handle the payments, so that 100% of your contribution will go to the winner of this year's Oscars Predictery competition.

In 2012 it was suggested that we could invite participants to donate a DVD of a movie they enjoyed. The resulting prize collection of DVDs would be awarded to our winner. This worked well for FOUR competitions since 2012, but we're now wondering if many of us playing have now gone beyond DVDs. So we did a twitter poll of our followers and you've told us to STICK WITH THE DVDs!
