Steffen Walter Jun 3, 2002:
Du k�nntest nat�rlich auch "cash" und "non-cash" prizes gegen�berstellen, sollten auch Geldpreise vorhanden sein.

prizes

as opposed to cash prizes

In English I don't think it's necessary to specify that it's a non-cash prize.

neutral Trudy Peters : But didn't D. want to distinguish them from cash prizes?

not the way I understand it - I took that to be an explanation for us.

You bet, Steffen, but I've got a "mulmiges Gefühl".

"cash and prizes"

This is the standard text attached to all those competitions.

"Prizes" would be sufficient for "Sachpreise". - HTH

merchandise prizes

gibts auch! mit 87 Google-hits, und merchandize prizes mit 24, in Engischen Seiten, aber verdächtigerweise viele deutschen Ursprungs.

Gehört habe ich den Ausdruck noch nie.

Ich kenne nur non-cash prizes, auch ohne Gegenüberstellung mit cash prizes, sonder um klarzustellen, dass der Wert des Sachgewinns nicht in bar ausgezahlt werden kann.
Also finde ich Steffens Vorschlag eigentlich die beste Antwort.
