We'll see who we get, and who wants what. I am sure there will be plenty of work to go around!

Oh. No, donating to the R&B prize fund does not qualify you as a Patron. You have to donate to a crowdfunded project for that.
*ponder* I see two possible ways to avoid conflict of interest here. 1) Have all the sponsorships go into a general pool, which will be divided by the number of categories. This would allow everyone to donate if they wish, but would not offer control of what goes where. 2) Only allow people to donate toward categories where they are NOT eligible. This would grant control at the expense of possibly ruling out some contributions.
