Dave, Glory maybe if everything works and you produce what you saw in your
imagination but none of the others. It's the opportunity for your film to
be seen by reasonably large audiences, it's the opportunity of hearing your
fellow film makers opinion of your film, and above all to test your artistic
and technical skill against other film makers. If the film is particularly
successful there is always the chance of it getting on to one of the hundreds
of TV channels. Nothing wrong with that provided no payment accepted. The
young Czech film makers who have done so well at BIAFF got very good promotion
for some of their films.

If you go to the trouble, time and expense of making a movie ...
what are you buying when you pay to put it into a competition?
Are you shelling out for some critical comment - written or spoken?
Or are you shelling out on the chance of winning a medal / trophy / cash
prize / glory?
