Would you prefer to win a trophy in a contest of skill or money in a contest of luck?

"Show me the trophy" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Depends how much money and how much I need it. The trophy would make me feel better about myself, and the enjoyment might last longer, but money can certainly be handy.

I could use money right now more than I could a recognition of an accomplishment, so I'd take the money.

Depends on how much money- if the money is enough to buy me studio space so that I can make more things that might late win me trophies, for instance. In general I'd rather be rewarded for my skill, though.

I am awarded money in a contest of skill every day, so there!

I'd prefer to win the trophy, but I'd prefer to have the money.

Just ONCE in my fracin' life I'd like to win something based on my talents, but in every contest that would require it I'm either too old (15 or younger for gameshows like Click) or too young. Well, not anymore. Starting February 1st, I'll be of elligible age to do stuff like 21 or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Money if it is a really large some.

Money, I need it more then a trophy.

Neither. When I was young I entered lots of contests of skill and got lots of trophies and awards and recognition. In my old age though, I seem to have toned down the competitive streak quite a bit, and I am much less interested in what I win and more interested in what I accomplish.

It depends. If it was something I could be really proud of, like singing or drawing or some other talent, then the trophy. If it was something stupid like "Loudest Burp", then the money. But if it was a lot of money, I'd want that.

money, the trophy would just collect a lot of dust.

are either contest fun/worth it? the prize is immaterial if the experience sucks.

had to read the question a few times...must be half asleep

I'm sorry to say it, but probably the money. Especially right now...

trophies are crap

especially if they're not Scottish!

no doubt-- i would want the money. i have won trophys and they have ended up in my mom's attic or the back of a closet.

I would take the money.

I could always SELL the trophy. Besides, I'd rather used my skills than just pure luck. I'm not that lucky.

money, who needs a stinkin' trophy
