We currently run merit-based contests and sweepstakes for some of the biggest artists in the world across all genres.

A better strategy would be to examine her motives as to why she writes and whether popularity contests (i.e.

Recently, I have participated in some vision and CTR prediction contests as well but could not update them here since the code is still very hacky.

We have players that have impressive winning records over thousands of contests.

For example crypto-contests in which people try to break other peoples algorithms.

I just wish there were more AI contests out there, they are some of the most fun I have programming.

There are always contests where hams rack up points by making contacts.

I really don't get what the point is, that some people have ego problems and hold pissing contests to see who is the most "awesome programmer"?

We have contests that are specific days (like field day), and standing awards liked "Worked All States" (you made a contact to someone in each of the 50 states).

Contests have fared well at selecting algorithms, but (prepared to be smacked back for this), ad hoc methods have done OK with algorithms as well --- you might say MD5 is an exception, but MD5 didn't have much competition when it was "selected".

My observations were: - gender was not a factor in income, nor was race - but being one of the "players" was important (regardless of competency) - performance appraisals were popularity contests (ratings were often changed or negotiated with senior management) - people that caused trouble (regardless of gender, race) were ostracised.
