That's right Eddie, Dietrich did win a cash prize that he donated back to the forum. The Bulgarian section of the forum was created in his honor...now what was that contest about?

Guys,
If I remember properly, the cash prize was $100 that Dietrich donated, as mentioned by Eddie and Art, to the Forum.

If I remember correctly, contestants had to earn a certain ammount of points by sending scans of certain types and variations of awards. The one who had the highest score won the prize.

Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

That's right...I remember now..it was a contest to help get some of the holes filled in the main website's image collection. Higher points went to the photos of the rarer awards.

Not that bad!!! Ha!
I was offered 100 BoH's for $10 each! - I only bought a few dozen
My cheapest Red Banner cost me $15
I have a dozen Red Stars that I paid $5 each
Alexei sold me 10 screw-post base Red Stars for astronomical (at the time) $20 each! and when he messed up the order and sent me non screw-post base Red Stars he told me to just keep them as gift b/c it was not worth the time to deal with returns and my inconvenience!!! (I still paid for them... Really cheap! by todays prices)
Oh, I remember overpaying for my Suvorov 2! I was pissed because Mr. Mx sold his last one for $2,000!
As I said, the good 'ole times!
