It won't make any difference for how many people show up.  The strongest
programs are going to win it and they were going to enter anyway.  And it won't
entice people from North or South America because it is only the cost of the
trip and you are not guaranteed to achieve it.

I predict that it will make the winners happy but will have no effect on
entrants.
