trophys or cash what would like to take home......hardware,cash ,ribbons........more cash ,less hardware???
Hi Dennis! I think there needs to be balance between both trophies and cash. Earning a great payday at a contest is wonderful but there's something very special about trophies that are unique and say something about the particular contest. For example, the Clovis, CA contest gave bronze Remington sculptures to the GC and RGC. They did this because of the larger than life Remington sculpture that resides along the Old Town Clovis Trail. It's a symbol that is connected to the town and to the contest. These kinds of trophies are, in my opinion, the best.
River City Roundup in Omaha is tied to a big rodeo and cattle show. GC and RGC get a branding iron as the trophy with the logo on it. First in each category gets a Boos board with the logo branded into it. Pretty cool.Hi Dennis! I think there needs to be balance between both trophies and cash.

Our team is still new but I'd rather take home a trophy than cash, unless of course we're talking thousands of dollars, but if I had to choose between a cool trophy and $250 I'd take the trophy, it'll last longer than the $250 ever will. I have the trophy from Wildomar next to my TV, it's huge, and I know that is not something you can buy, we earned that award and you just can't buy that with money. But we're still new and starry eyed and haven't got tired of winning anything just yet.
