It feels to me that the money came unexpectedly and your plan was just a loosely defined idea.
Appealing to money or competition to youngsters in a pop culture is a waste of money, Go to "pop tech" conferences and see what people value and praise. It's never money. And yes, there are hackatons that pay money to winners, but IMO what participants value more is the recognition. Regards, Esteban A.
