How about this: every entry is critiqued and given feedback. I know that I love to get feedback for my stories, so for the new RPers it would be both recognition of their RPing, and comments on how to improve.
Or how about this: There is a giant pot with all the prize money, and every serious entry gets a slice of it. Just how big a slice is determined by how good the story is.
Edit: with that being said, I would offer my services as a judge. I would still like to put in my own works to be critiqued though.
