That’s a good point; I should survey past winners to get their views on this, too (though I expect people to report that they were influenced a bit more than was actually the case).
Users who were more active on the Forum were more likely to endorse the Prize, but that seems like it results partly from their being more aware of the Prize in general/reading more of the posts. Given that the posts are pinned for at least a few days each month, and shared with the biggest EA Facebook group, awareness/readership numbers were lower than I’d have hoped for.
Thanks for the feedback, and for giving me an idea on data to collect!
