Have the parents chip in $5 each and all the prize money the state
provided will be covered, and then some. Get business sponsers. There are many
different routes to make up this money.

Actually, this is something that we did do for our local 4h horse shows
was to get sponsors for our classes. At these shows, this was just for the
cost of ribbons as a monetary prize was never part of it. There was even a
prize for the kid that brought in the most sponsors so it became a
competition of sorts between us. For the sponsorship their name or business was
printed in the newsletter or premium and maybe even a picture or something
with the winner for the local paper so it was a bit of rather inexpensive
advertisement for them. It was never done at the State level and I'm not
sure why except the State always handled it.
I know that the mom and pop feed stores and small business that we used to
rely upon aren't as around as much anymore. We do ask for outside
sponsors for our local dogshows. We get some vets, some community support but
it's not as easy to come by as it was forty years ago. Corporations even big
ones like tractor store you have to go thru the regional office, blah,
blah, blah, takes a bit of doing that I'm not sure that parents see the need
or have the time for for anymore.
I think it's a good idea though.
