Jayne,
It's not a question of the money, although I don't subscribe to magazines, partly because I don't read them, but also because to have them sent abroad costs vastly more than a subscription to be delivered in England.
I somewhat take your point about the kudos, but I do feel that they could be a little more generous towards winning entries for non-subscribers. Compared with 30 quid for 16 lines in the Spectator, a tenner for 24 lines seems peculiarly mean.
