I I had a spare 160GB and if they accepted entries from countries  
outside the US (their entry fields seem to preclude telephone country  
codes) I'd enter.   ( oh and also if they threw in a copy of FCP )   
( and also get me an AFTRA card )

some might say that they're shopping for a low-cost editor ... in fact  
the editor is so low-cost, he/she has to pay an entry fee to submit a  
cut!

And..  I'm not sure that because there's an entry fee, that you could  
call this "open source,"  nor that this term can be used for something  
other than software.  (i'll be happy to be informed i'm wrong on these  
points)
