+                and $20 for non-students (non-students are not eligible for prizes). As usual, we
+                will be supplying breakfast, lunch and dinner during the Hackathon too, so make sure to grab your tickets so

+            </p>
+
+            <h3>Prizes</h3>
+
+            <p>We'll have <b>$2500</b> in prizes up for grabs across ten categories:</p>
+
+            <h5>$1000 - Best Overall</h5>
+            <p>The creators of the best project (as determined by our celebrity judges) will take home a whopping $1000
+                dollars (not to mention bragging rights)! This prize is proudly sponsored by TechnologyOne.
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$500 - Best Overall Runner Up</h5>
+            <p>The second placed team (as determined by our celebrity judges) will take home $500.
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$200 - Best Newcomers</h5>
+            <p>The best team consisting entirely of students in their first or second semester of university (in any
+                discipline) will find themselves the proud owners of $200 to distribute between themselves.
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$200 - People's Choice</h5>
+            <p>After presentations have concluded on the Sunday night, you'll have the chance to vote for your favourite
+                project, the project with the most votes will take home 200 big ones.
+            </p>
+            <h5>$100 - Best Interdisciplinary Project</h5>
+            <p>UQCS likes to mix things up. The best project demonstrating skills or solving problems from other
+                disciplines (hardware, science, math, and dare we say it... humanities) will be eligible for $100 cash.
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$100 - Best Design</h5>
+            <p>The creator(s) of the project demonstrating the coolest visual design will take home their choice of $100
+                to spend on turtlenecks or a pirated PDF copy of Banksy's art book Wall and Piece.
+            </p>
+            <h5>$100 - Best Game</h5>
+            <p>
+				Be it a game or a gaming related project there's $100 in it for the gamers as well. May the brightest mechanical keyboard win!
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$100 - Best Community Project</h5>
+            <p>The best project (as determined by our celebrity judges) aimed at helping a philanthropic or community organisation, or 
+                addressing a social justice problem will earn a nice $100 reward (who said being nice didn't pay off?).
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$100 - Best Presentation</h5>
+            <p>
+            	While the project is import, so is the presentation. Why not ditch the slide deck for something with a bit more pizzazz.
+            </p>
+
+            <h5>$100 - Most Masochistic</h5>
+            <p>The project that caused the most pain for its creators will earn them $100. It's not enough to make up
+                for a weekend of self-inflicted misery, but it helps.
+            </p>
+
+
