IMHO, fees for composition competitions should be only enough to cover administration and logistics of running the competition itself. Unfortunately, they seem to be treated as some sort of fundraiser for the sponsoring organization, with a bunch of composers footing the bill, most of whom get nothing in return. Composing concert music isn't exactly a lucrative activity, and a composer could easily go bankrupt applying for contests.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go start a composition competition of my own...
