While it may not necessarily be for you Chris, the RSGB Commonwealth 
Contest (incidentally THE longest running amateur radio contest) has a 
Restricted Section for entrants using 100W and single element antennas 
(i.e. precluding beams) with a prestigious trophy for the overall winner 
and a plaque, kindly sponsored by John G3LZQ, for the leading UK 
station.  It comes up in less than 3 weeks time.

I usually feel it would be more interesting for me personally if I was not up against stations with Tribanders though! :-)  That said, I can fully understand why CQ have that as a section in their contests.
