For someone like me, meeting up in Vegas would be next to impossible with kids. A regional prize would make more sense to reduce postage costs. I also like the alternative of just taking a prize in HBD or Hive.

If it's something I REALLY want, I'd be willing to pay the postage. At that point, the understanding should be that if it gets lost, it's the risk you take, and shipping is on the receiver since they know it's going to cost a bit for international shipping. That way, it doesn't discourage people from contributing because they think they'll have to pay for the international postage.
