To conclude the subject I would rather cite a well-known American bead artist, the words addressed to all craft contest participants:
«Remember, that taking part in contests is not just about to win a prise, but to advertise your art. Contests show your work to thousands, therefore we need them as we need advertisement». (Huib Petersen)
