How about an educational giveaway?  Smiley
Normal educational stuff can be very boring sometimes (in Germany we would call it "dry" Cheesy) and a little incentive of a few sats can help to encourage people informing about that topic and participate finally. Most Newbies don't have much BTC and if we are generous, we can give them an opportunity to earn some (maybe their first BTC) while they'll learn more about Bitcoin and Blockchain in that giveaway.

A few weeks ago I made a giveaway where people had to guess Bitcoin's first block in 2020 and good explanations were also rewarded with Merit:

[FINISHED] Educational giveaway | guess first Bitcoin Block in 2020 [9.5 mBTC]

I tried to cover the following points:

...
I’ve chosen that special type of giveaway to encourage users doing research about Bitcoin’s block creation process. Predicting a block mined at a specified time can be anticipated to a certain degree when you know about the factors how block generation process is done. Important questions related to this giveaway:
- How many blocks are generated per hour?
- What does mining difficulty mean?
- What’s a mining difficulty adjustment?
- When are such adjustments done?
- How is BTC price affecting miners and therefore also mining difficulty and block generation process?
…

But I would open it also for higher ranks. My example has shown that much valuable knowledge came from experienced users and Newbies had learned from that.

Maybe you have different interesting ideas, which topics can cover a good giveaway.
