Should Bloggers Exclude Family From Contests?

My simple little contest has started to generate some interest. When it was looking like a dude a couple of days ago I had a brief thought about getting a relative to try to win the contest. We all grew up hearing the detail on radio and television that employees of such and such and there immediate family were not eligible, so I immediately decided that it was wrong. I don’t know if everyone else in the blogosphere feels the same way. I have seen a lot of situations on the Internet that a certain percentage of people will always do a thing because it is possible, seemingly without stopping to think about whether it is right or wrong.

The $10 in my contest will be leaving this household, and most likely this timezone.
