Nobody denies that competitions with prizes can bring people's initiative into full play. Encouraged by a strong desire to win a prize one will go all out to seek his greatest success. Consequently the best achievements will be obtained in a game with awards. However the prompting of a prize does not always lead to desirable results. For example a competitor who cannot overcome the temptation of a prize is likely to take a stimulant .And the hopeless competitor sees nothing but the prize which might cause improper behavior. I my opinion the remedy lies in moral education of competitors. This will help them to understand the slogan: "Friendship--first and competition--second. "Then prices will play a better part in any contest. Generally speaking I believe that prizes are a good thing.
