Contest Hosting - Prizes Question

[nair]

I'm trying to make a contest, but I don't know what I should give away as a prize.

It's an online contest to see who has the best eCourse, but I don't know what I should give away. I have a low budget, so I don't want it to be anything too expensive, but I want it to be a really cool prize.

People love tangible items. Not sure what you mean by low, but you could give away say a Flip Mino or an iPod Nano - or even just $100 in pure cash.

My budget is probably around $50.

Is there anything I can work with for that amount?

Do you guys think that getting sponsors to host prizes would be a good idea?

Can't think of too much to give away for $50. I'd jump on the recommendation made by Jason.

Check this out;

Amazon.com: Flip Video Camcorder: 60-Minutes...
I know it's double your $50 budget but a product costing $99.99 you will get people interested in taking part in your contest.
