Unless someone has access to some desirable goods at whole sale prices then I am betting that cash would be the best prize of all, no matter who you are, you could probably use some and shipping does not pose a problem.
When the time is right, I can send my portion via Paypal, would this also be a good way to deliver the prize?
I am just learning about SVG web design but on the off chance that I have beginners luck I would like to make a suggestion about an additional way to promote SVG along side Felipe's excellent suggestion. With Microsoft being the pricks they are, we won't see IE SVG support anytime soon and even when (or if) it does come we will need to wait until IE 8 is at perhaps 10% or less market share before we use SVG web designs for the masses, but in the meantime what about SVG only sites for intranets. Companies/institutions can dictate what browsers their employees use. This is the sort of thing I have in mind for my SVG only site. If like minded people worked together maybe we could move faster and demonstrate to Governments and companies the cool features that these sorts of sites could offer? If there were enough of them perhaps Google could be convinced to index SVG content too?
Just my 2 cents-patrick

Nice! I plan to put a bit of money on it too. Maybe I invest on it a tiny portion of my SoC money (what comes with geek stuff should go back to geek stuff). And maybe I get some funds from mozilla community support, they still didn't contact me.
I would like to ask here what prizes would you suggest. I need to figure out what would be cool to give as prizes.

Hey Felipe This is the most awesome thing I have seen in a very long time!!! I would like to help with your project in any way I can. I am a bit short of cash right now but I can pledge $50 for a prize. If there is any way you could post a tutorial on this I would love to see it! Unlike you, English is my first language. However I still feel like I am still studying it, so I guess this makes me EFL, instead of ESL! Having said this, I think the message should read: "game will be ready to play once this messages DisappearS, disappears with an "S". Es muy Bueno!!
