Review of the Month - How does it work?

@Peitho I have finally discovered why the runner up prize is a measly £4! :slightly_smiling_face:

The value of the Oh! Points was dramatically reduced back in 2015 when they changed how they worked. 2000 points went from being worth £10 to just £4, and the RotM prize was never upped to compensate. :slightly_smiling_face:

I think this strengthens our case for a prize bump considerably. :+1:


Current Costs:

12 winners @ £100 = £1200
36 runners up @ £4 = £144

Total = £1344/yr

Option A: (return to pre-2015 prize value levels)

12 winners @ £100 = £1200
36 runners up @ £10 = £360

Total = £1560

And 1560 - 1344 = +£216/yr (+£18/month)
So roughly an additional 16% cost.

I think that seems quite reasonable. :slightly_smiling_face: (even more so now we know it used to be this :slightly_smiling_face:)


Option B: (give the prizes a modernising flourish)

12 winners @ £100 = £1200
12 silvers @ £25 = £300
24 bronze @ £10 = £240

Total = £1740 (+£396/yr or +£33/month)

A national campaign for less than £2k annually? That’s a bargain. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:
