Ouch, I forgot about this. My main problem is that I can't donate, so there isn't as much motivation.

I don't understand the donating process. Do you need to donate to enter?
It says "Optionally make a $3.00 (USD) donation using this PayPal link. If you donate, make sure to mention it in your submission.
Multiple submissions are allowed. If you want to win prize money on all your submissions, you must make a donation for each of them."
So it sounds like donation is optional, but then it says if you want to win prize money on all your submissions, you must make a donation for each of
them. Is anyone else confused? What's the donation for? The prize money?

Obviously yes - the donations *are* what makes up the prize money.

But what's the "optionally" part for? Does that mean optionally you can donate without a chance to win? I don't see the point in saying that in the
Submission Requirements if it has nothing to do with submissions. It could have been a lot more clear, it's a really weird way to say that.

If you donate, then you are a contender to win the prize money. If you don't donate however, you can't win the prize money, but can still participate
in the competition and enter a submission with a chance to win the"prestige" of winning. A second winner would then be chosen to win the prize money.

Would it have been too hard to say "You won't get any prize money unless you put $3.00 in the pot."
That's pretty sad I even had to ask this question, as it's probably the single most important aspect of this challenge. I guess I could have figured
that out, but it was mentioned so nonchalantly in the rules.
Anyway thanks for clearing that up.

Seemed pretty clear to me :-
Submit if you like.
Donate if you like.
Do Both and you can win all the money.
Allows non-money motivated people to Submit entries.
Also allows for non-competitors to Donate towards the prize fund.

I just submitted a photo. Since the winner will be chosen through voting, I thought I could do that.
If you win and donated, you get the prize money(all donations for this challenge).
If you win and haven't donated, you get eternal glory and the prize money goes to the best photo with a donation.

So you're saying... If I make a great fire I can win something?
Really????
I have to buy a camera.
Does the news count? They have cameras... I'm down!
They tried to have me "put to sleep" so I came back to return the favor.
Zom.

No offense, but I wondered the same thing myself.

This is in the bag!~

Oh, I thought you were going to make a fire to get the news people to come, then ask for a copy of the video they send to the network

Right... Use the explosives to lure those drama loving greedy reporters, let them film it, then run off with van and all the equipment.
Leave them stranded in the snow with nitrogen triiodide "mines" scattered all around.

Sounds great! As long as all fire is colored, somewhat. Otherwise we'll lose the creativity points.
Be sure to include footage of the reporter's reactions to the NI3 'mines'

With the NI3 going off all over the place, get some Purple filtering going on.
