The reason this isn't open to the CFC is because you're not allowed to scam blues.

Why aren't you using a neutral third party to hold all of the ISK, possibly even a panel of neutral judges and donating the 500m fees to PLEX for Good rather than have them line your pocket in the event of there being no winner. Why not just simply donate your wealth to PLEX for Good?
You've designed this in such a way that it looks exactly like a scam, and just like a scam you request that we trust you (because this time it's different, honest), when you have proven that you are not to be trusted. Redesign this so it doesn't look exactly like your previous scams and you might get some interest.

Yeah, it'd be a funny turn of events if this time you were really telling the truth and fully intended to be completely honest in this endeavour.
The problem is you've cultivated exactly the opposite kind of reputation you need to pull this off properly. You could even intend to be somewhat honest about this, but because of your reputation you will be scraping the bottom of the barrel as usual and only get a few desperate or greedy people submitting ideas, the same kind of people who fell for your previous scams. In the end you'll get a few bad ideas, a few billion ISK and you can claim there was no winner while you pocket the money. This isn't even good enough to get some laughs.

Plus of course have some means of way to verify winners. But then entries could be voted for on reddit for example with hidden scores, that would also make use of the community to vote for what they would like to see. A kickstarted type of thing for ISK. /c
Of course a community vote would be the fairest for contestants, but like Scooter said before; it is his ISK and he wants to decide where it goes.
If people want to give away their ideas then that's up to them, but the biggest issue is the non-refundable entry fee that encourages Scooter to act as he has countless times in the past, simply stating he doesn't like any ideas offered while keeping the ISK. If the entry fee were to go to a charitable cause this conflict of interest would be resolved and trolls would still be deterred, it's not like Scooter cares about the ISK since he's quitting, right?
