Hey Lourie,

You should only aim as high as you can manage it :) Decide on a
reasonable budget for the prizes, then think what else you *can* do
with the existing team. If there are 2-3 people involved in their
spare time in organizing WLM, you'll probably need to give up on some
of the ideas you see on this list.

Last year's budgets varied from $500 to over 10,000€, so it's really
impossible to give you an exact figure.
