I enjoy entering tournaments with prizes of some sort.  Does anyone have a list of such events?  It doesn't really matter how small the prize is :)

Is Mayfair putting on their Setters world qualifiying event again this year?  I don't see it in the list of events yet.

Thanks in advance!

I know there are Risk and Risk 2210 tournaments scheduled. I'm not sure if there are prizes, but I believe there were small prizes for the winners of these in the past.

Look for Galactic Emperor

Though we don't run 'tournaments', except for Diplomacy, in the last few years we, Rogue Judges, have given out prizes. Several years ago we gave out shirts to a winner in each slot. We have also given winners 'homies', Steve Jackson related stuff, 'Rogue winner' ribbons and a coupon good at our friends at Starwind Designs booth (and probably some stuff I am forgetting at the moment). The last two years each player at a Rogue Judges event recieved a die. If you prefer, we could make you have to be the winner to earn your die  

I'm not sure what we have in store for this year, I hope it's something good.

I have seen independent GMs offer prizes (and usually list this in their event write up). Last year my friends ran Circus Maximus and gave out a winner trophy of a Circus Maximus Beer Stein.

My guess is that if there is an event offering prizes, the price would be a little higher than normal. I do know there is a D&D for Cash game that is all about strategy and a little luck with the dice (not roleplaying), but sorry, it's not exactly a board game.

 The Axis & Allies events have trophies.

Some of the GB7 run events have / had prizes in the past, contact them for more info.

Rogue Judges may or may not have prizes, contact them directly.

Blood Bowl has a prize if I recall correctly.

TGA events have prizes in several categories, contact them for finer details.

Mayfiar has not had prizes for general tournaments, but has for Domaine and the SoC WQ (which is NOT being run at GCI this year - they have something else brewwing, but I am sure that info is for public release yet).

Out of the Box Games, Steve Jackson Games, Days of Wonder, Gut Bustin Games, and Twilight Creations all have events, that may or may not have small prizes. 

For Out of the Box, the winner of the game usually gets to keep the game and gets a GC to use at their booth. I believe GC's for 2nd and 3rd place also. For some of the games, they do a loser's bracket, and the winner of that also gets to keep the game.

The Great Space Race was supposed to have a copy of the game ($50) as their prize last year, but as I was the only one to show up for the final, I got a $25 GC instead, which I promptly used to purchase said game!
