But you submit a log. The question has to be asked of people who don't.

Don't unnecessarily restrict your point of view to define "rewards" as
"prizes". Maybe a reward for submitting a Cabrillo log within 10-days of the
end of a contest should be a 2% score bonus. :)
Maybe the "reward" for submitting a Cabrillo log within 30-days is that the
official results will be released to the web within 60-days after the end of the
event.
There are many unconventional, but extremely effective ways to look at this.
