Man, contests like this seem like a bad idea for everyone involved. Solicit bids, take 2 million dollars and get a prototype/demonstration of capability from your top 4-8 options. Review the submitted work and communication each contractor provided, select the one that you feel the most comfortable with and just pay them to make the damn thing.
