My suggestion is that the DESIGN 21's international panel of judges chooses their favorite logo out of the finalists and that the $5000 prize is equally split between the 'judges favorite' and the chosen by MCA-I NY.
If this isn't an option I think the $5000 prize shouldn't be added to another competition but that it should go to a charitable organization, although ideally someone should win so that the entire competition process doesn't loose credibily.
Any other suggestions?
