I've been keeping an eye on this, and a thought occured. The prize money isnt as important as taking part.
"It will be a transformative event for the industry with hundreds of great ideas feeding into groundbreaking teams, all competing and showcasing their work,"
With the list of judges, and their idea behind 'fans', I think this could transform the Ethereum eco-system.

Alex Shelkovnikov, corporate venturing and blockchain lead at Deloitte, and Meni Rosenfeld, founder of Cluster, a hub for disruptive technologies, will both join Lubin on the panel of judges. Each judge will have a portion of votes to award to the camps they favour.

This is why taking part could be more important than 'winning'- If I'm trying to create a peer to peer application, which after all is part of the promise of Blockchain tech, than Jaan Tallinn is a pretty important guy to be aware of your team...
