I like it.

Personally, I'd rather not have a cash prize. If the forum software supports it, maybe the winner could get a special label next to their name or something.

Judging could be tough. There are probably lots of solutions that'll let you live through the scenario, and any one of those "wins" (you live). After that, it's quality, size, integration, redundancy, skill level, cost, etc.

Sounds like fun.


Edit:

Unless there's an unlimited class, I think we'll have to have a $$$ limit. Or some set of criteria where quality / cost doesn't matter.
