By contrast, Ironmouse, Melody, and Silvervale (before she left) have all had outfit design contests where they gave cash to winners. Mouse specifically was supposed to only pick 5 winners, upped it to 10 when she saw how many good entries she was getting, and then wound up picking something like 27 in total by the end where each of them got a thousand for being picked.
