However, there is no reason this populace vote idea can't be done by any
individual at any A&S competition or display.

There is nothing to keep an individual from giving largess or wordfame
to one or more A&S artists. This need not be expensive. A note, a bead,
an incense stick. One I have thought of is the chocolate coins, wrapped
in gold, copper or silver foil that I have recently seen in stores. Yes,
the chocolate is post-period, but it is appreciated by many. And in the
foil it is not obviously mundane. It should work at all but the hottest
Ansteorran events.

There is no reason that such largess need be limited to the static arts,
either. I'm sure you all can find some performers who are also deserving.
