I have the same concern about the fact that the expected income from participating in the contest might be small. I think the other two prizes somewhat mitigate this, but I’m not sure how people value those prizes.
I’m indeed spending a lot less on scriptwriting than on animation. This hasn’t always been true, but it is true now and will continue to be true as the team becomes larger because animation is just way costlier. That said, the proportion of the budget devoted to scriptwriting will increase again in the near future, but not drastically. More specifically, as I say in the post, I’d like to hire more scriptwriters, and, later on, I’d like to bring in at least one fact-checker.
For now, I’ll leave the prizes unchanged. I’ll wait at least a couple of weeks to see how the contest goes. Depending on how many scripts I’m getting and their quality, I might decide to change the prizes.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Terrific, I’m excited to see how things turn out!
