Are Awards Worth It?
Real problems from fake people.
Dear Earl,
We just received an email announcing the open entry period for a big media award/film festival, and we’re going to enter!
Awesome, congrats. Why are you entering?
When you win, the trophy is amazing, it’s made of crystal and golden butterflies — wait, what? What do you mean, ‘why?’ It’s a big award/film festival!
How much is the entry fee?
Huh? I don’t know. It’s somewhere around ($50/$100/$200).
Maybe it’s just me, but if someone is asking for more than lunch money, I like to know why I’m doing it.
