I am not sure what is meant by "decent prize money".

It's £150, £100 and £50 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, the same as we gave for the Northampton Literature Group competition (not running this year, and possibly not again, but never say 'never').

I was most heartened to read this about the judge, Sarah Willans:

"...She is an enthusiastic supporter of light verse, which she sees as very much the equal of 'serious' poetry, and is delighted to support a competition that acknowledges and encourages humorous verse."

I feel the same way; light verse is so often unjustly seen as the "poor relation of proper poetry".

I'll have a go. Thanks for the link, Jan.
