Well obviously first you need the water to be perfectly still. To avoid the lighting glare you may need to move or angle you lights a little so you're not shooting into a glare zone. Usually you can find a window to shoot through were the light doesn't bounce back at the camera. It may be a little tricky and take a little practice but it's definitely doable. Also a polarizing filter can be helpful.

It should also be noted that if the winner already has a box and doesn't require another one he or she is welcome to donate the prize the second place.
