I don't know. I find this "competition" a bit weird for several reasons. First off, from looking over the site it's not clear whether wikiaudio is a commercial venture or not. If it is a business, then populating your site with content by offering a $200 prize to the winner seems a bit pathetic. If it's a community site, offering prizes for creating the most content seems to go against the whole idea of "community" where people are contributing content based on shared interest rather than a monetary reward. And finally, most audio geeks I know have a fairly high disposable income. A chance to win $200 wouldn't seem to be a big motivator.

You might be over thinking it. Maybe it's just something fun to do. :)
