Personally, I don't care whether or not prizes are given. I think this
is just a good excuse to program. The glory that comes from creating the
most efficient/elegant/obfuscated code is reward in itself.

Then again, it won't be easy to think of something _every_ month that is
at the right level of difficulty.
