EXP bonus instead of part contest prizes
#1
I think a lot of contests would enjoy a larger size of participants if they were to reward EXP instead of parts.
This is because once people have won the contest, there's not much impetus to winning the contest again. Sometimes, contests prohibit people from winning again. I think installing a hefty EXP prize would bring a lot more people into these contests, as it'll help them in their goal of getting up numbers on a decade-old flash game.
I'm thinking within the range of something like 50,000 for some of the smaller contests and 250,000 for some of the larger ones, though the values can certainly be adjusted, per admin jurisdiction. It has to be a big enough EXP bonus to attract those who are grinding ranks.
For contests who require multiple wins to get prizes, perhaps reward higher and higher amounts of EXP, with the highest prize granting a huge jackpot.

Not every contest would have a EXP bonus. PotW isn’t a good contest, so if it is to have any sort of prize, it should be purely cosmetic.
