Or why not offer cash prize? Of course pay by paypal, we are not talking about huge prizes here, so lets not be fussy about them being book vouchers only.
Let the recipient of prize chose where wants to go and buy his books, may be they have a source where they could buy more books in cash (used, secondhand, etc) than they could buy from The Amazon vouchers.
Just my viewpoint,

So the happy medium? Nominate a number of different providers and then let the recipient choose.

I think it’s useful to see the range of viewpoints here, and if there are people subscribed that have different viewpoints than those raised here then they shouldn’t feel forbidden from airing them here if they want to.Remarkably naive view of DNFTT, that. And you were asked politely not to.OK then, I have a viewpoint that the suggestion that people in an international competition should be asked to nominate what gift voucher for £10 they would like, rather than be told (your "choice is good") is plain silly. One winner may want a voucher for a department store in Belize City, the other one want something denominated in Australian dollars. Exactly how much correspondence and faffing around do you want to dump on the office?Charles
