Been some planning going on behind the scenes regarding prizes this year...
This year there will be a winners trophy!
Nothing too outrageous though, there are a couple of builders who have offered to build trophy's, but of course they need to be send-able anywhere around the world without getting too expensive, so they may end up being flat-pack or even a "build-your-own trophy" style kit that may require a couple of bike parts from the winners stash bolted on to finish it.
The trophy's themselves will not have any huge monetary value, more of a recognition thing, so if others want to chip in prizes as well, that would be cool, just remember to keep in mind postage, this years build-off is worldwide, even more so than it has been in the past, you might end up sending it to the Philippines, Russia, New Zealand, Canada, Greece, Estonia, Australia, Spain, The Netherlands, Ireland, Britain, France, Switzerland, the list keeps growing! Some members in the past have selected something from eBay or similar in the country that the winner is in and had that posted directly to the winner to save on postage costs too...
Feel free as always to add prizes for your own categories as has been done in the past, I think we have had "Top Banana", "Best Gee-Gaw" "Best Bare Metal" and others in the past.
As always though, just being a part of the Build-Off is a prize in itself, if you make the deadline that is even better!

I have a sneaky suspicion It might have something to do with the new RRB T-shirt
