FWIW, the prize/incentive model for "Wiki takes X" has been done before:

And in the Philippines too.
But if you are really going the prize/incentive route, you need to be prepared to answer a lot of questions, and provide results to justify involving money . As a coordinator of the the ongoing TamilWiki Media Contest, i have been facing similar questions. At the end of the day, the event needs to produce tangible results for wikimedia projects in form of usable files uploaded to commons.
Agreed. Thank you, Bala.
