Just throwing in my two-cents here regarding CC Hats as participation prizes and contest prizes:
CC hats as an alternate option to the participation prize is good.
Having CC hats as the only participation prize is not so good.
Posting what the prize of a contest is going to be (despite it being new and cute), is significantly less motivating in my opinion. The anticipation for a mystery prize makes things more fun and interesting. I was honestly struggling to have fun while finishing that submission during the recent contest in comparison to the previous ones after knowing what the prize was ; A; (not trying to imply that the prize is bad or something).
But hey, that's just my opinions :v And regardless of what decisions are made, I'll just roll with it
