I also wonder if it would be cost-effective to spend some part of the contest’s budget on outreach to high-potential contributors.
Rough/vague example:
pay someone to…
research which individuals would likely have especially compelling arguments to contribute
determine which people in EA’s network are best positioned to make (personal) contact with those individuals
spend money to increase the likelihood that these individuals are successfully contacted and encouraged to submit something to the contest (e.g. arrange a dinner or meeting that they deem worthwhile to attend, where the contest is outlined to them)
