If we decide to implement the prize change now, for the current challenge, it'd go like this:

Normal - requires 8 finished valid entries (no change)
Newbie - requires 5 finished valid entries

As usual, if the set number is not met, points will still be awarded to the winner. Just there won't be a Grand Prize winner for that category.

If anyone wants to change to Newbie from Normal or vice versa, feel free to ask. There's usually no problem going from Newbie to Normal, but the other way around will depend on the ruling of a mod. If the request is rejected, it means the mod feels the person can compete as a Normal entry and would have an unfair advantage as a Newbie.
