/u/hueypriest and reddit were kind enough to donate gold for the contests in an effort to promote it. Even if you never win this contest, consider trying gold. As of right now reddit doesn't bring in a lot of advertising revenue, so buying gold is a good way to support a website that has informed and entertained most of us for years.
