I'm happy to accept any potential prizes (of course), but for what it's worth I'd worry a bit what a quarterly prize will do for the dynamics and incentives of simply posting what we think.
I think a yearly award, maybe spread over a variety of top posts, would be a nice shout-out and bonus to all the contributors, but yeah I'd worry about what a quarterly prize does for the social dynamics, kinda like how k00b thought that the leaderboard was fostering too much competitive angst. Annual awards seem like it wouldn't foster as much of that, since the time horizon is so long, it's harder to target strategically.
That being said, keep up the great work. I really appreciate your forward thinkingness and proactiveness in working to make this territory successful.
If it gets ugly, then someone can probably write a great post about why and earn a good chunk of change.
I don't think the size is actually that crazy. Several territories have weekly prizes that sum to similar amounts and ~Stacker_Sports has many contests with prizes this large.
I've also wanted to see how longer time horizon rewards might work out, since we'll have territory rewards someday. This is a step in that direction.
We can reevaluate once all the donor money is paid out.
