It will hurt to giver of a gear with $30 shipping to 3rd world country but we should not limit the giving to some poor countries with great youngsters/photographers who are likely to become the next great journalist or another artist in the making.
Rules need to be setup for honest system for requirements such as no more than 'x' number of lens and 'y' number of cameras in one's possession. And upon submission deadline, the forum or a panelist with the giver can vote for the lucky recipients.
Just another thought for gear donation for the needy.

I wholeheartedly agree Him. I would love to be able to help with this. And your thoughts for the contest is still a great gesture. I will have to get into the contest.
