Based on theymos' core opinions on merit source information, there will be no contest definitely. Because if there is a contest, all merit source name will be published, that is what I have never seen theymos wanted to do so far.

The art contest ended recently, and merit system is only one of the forum's systems, trust flag are the others. So if there is a contest for merit system, there should be other contests for the others. So far, I have not seen any contest as celebration for any forum's systems.
Merit sources are free to reveal their source amounts, though I think it may be a bit unwise. While it will eventually become obvious roughly what the source amounts are from the stats, there's a huge difference between showing up in a "list of probable merit sources" and having a quote out there of you basically saying "I'm a merit source, come beg me for merit, complain about every merit I send, and accuse me of being part of the anti-X/pro-Y conspiracy."
