$3k is a nice price pool but I doubt members will take this seriously. What should make forum members not to think that the entire stuff is gonna be like cryptomus's campaign or some other scam scheme? If you are really representing SportScore, with a legit contest of this nature,
I'm a designer and it won't me funny wasting time on a logo that would be likely stolen or won't get it's worth.
Anyways good luck

and if it turns out to be real I'll definitely participate.
Sounds as idea il get escrow involved soon.
I will also participate in this contest once the prize is escrowed. Hopefully, you can extend the deadline by one week so more participants can join this contest (not being selfish this time. lol).
Also, maybe you can change the prize by dividing it into several smaller prizes or adding some consolation prizes.
why not get a reputable member to organise it Also with probably an escrow.
I recommend @Hhampuz. He has managed the Roobet art contest for more than 4 years without any issues.
