I like this, because it requires people to step forward if they DO want to 
compete. Since this is a _competition_, their stepping forward means 
(hopefully) that they are prepared for the possibility that they might not be 
chosen as the winner -- which minimizes possible hurt feelings.

I'd also suggest that having some small "token" for everyone who enters would 
be very nice -- something as small as a pretty bar of soap or a fresh rose.
