Hm, I see the problem... I tried looking at this from a few different angles, but I don't think there's any way to really get around the cheating thing. Once money is involved, people might cheat. Maybe in future competitions the prizes should be smaller but the top 3 tracks get the same prize? This would help cut down on the effect of cheating at least and people who should win legitimately are awarded appropriately if they even make 3rd place. Doesn't change anything about cheating, but at least makes it much more work to win the same amount.

But to be honest, I don't think that anyone on this site who's entering really cares about the prizes. It's a nice incentive but people taking it seriously probably just want a little help making it into the industry. In the business world, tracks are going to be judged by someone looking for music for their game. If the only incentive was these tracks being presented, then cheaters have little/nothing to gain.

I still like to toplist idea, but yeah, probably not gonna get around it.
