    So what they are basically doing is offering $1000 to a contract worker to develope their project, but making it out as a competition and the pay is a prize. Genius.

    Seems pretty dumb on all sides to me. What it says to me is that Neuros thinks their stuff is so hard to use that they'd give $1000 to someone who could actually pull this off. That also says that $1000 is what it is worth to them; clearly they know it will take even more effort or they would have just developed it in-house. So they're tasking developers far and wide, all who have to shell out for the Neuros in the first place, to do a big project for little money. I'm not sure anyone involved could ever call themselves a "winner" . . .
