Things I factor into the expense is the overall quality of the show. Judges, prizes, possible turnout. For a small show I might look into doing a one day entry of $50-65 depending upon how the classlist is split, but for a destination show I could go as high as $100 (although I would wince at it!).
I do factor in travel expenses. I like places I can fly to more or less directly. And I like to see areas that have available food and lodging. I know that sounds obvious but I’ve been at a lot of small shows in even smaller towns. :)
Somehow after all these years I missed that he had a Hartland head!
