My club does this in our monthly contests. Our entry fee is $ 5.00 and we award $1.00/entry for first, $ 0.50/entry for second and $ 0.25/entry for third. We round all amounts up to the next dollar and award at least $5.00 if the entry level is too small to make the normal prize up to $ 5.00. It works well, we don't have to have trophys engraved every month and even with small contests, the club makes some money. The downside, is the people coming up in the hobby don't get a chance to collect the dust collectors (trophys) they might otherwise cherish.
