How about this:

The top 10 Contestants will split 15,000 QRK for "winning".

The other 35 contestants will be splitting 5,000 QRK for their earnest contributions to the contest.

The remaining 100,000k QRK will be donated to the Quark Foundation to be spent on 20,000 QRK per project maximum.

If this is/not acceptable for everyone involved please say yay or nay.

Thanks
