I think this is a great idea, and I'd be willing to help work through
the Linux Foundation on prizes and coordination.  One thing which I can
possibly put in the prize "pool", is free admission to ELC or
ELC Europe (maybe even some paid travel expenses)  I can
also talk to companies about donations for prizes (we do this for our
closing game session at events anyway).
