I wonder if this was a response to complaints from smaller entities who felt they couldn't compete on the same footing as larger ones for the "cornerstone" recognition originally mentioned in Updates. If so, its too bad that that there wasn't a clever way provided for those entities to partner up and compete with pooled resources yet still get individual recognition somehow if their partnership ended up as a top contributor.
I'm disappointed that the in-game recognition element was removed from this race. As a player very invested in EVE Online, having a chance for my corp or alliance to make a mark on the game itself would be a lot more fun and interesting to go for than a lottery.

Is it going to be one draw, with a minimum prize of 1 BPC, and then bigger prizes for that draw depending on the amount of RCs contributed overall? The dev blog is confusing or else I need to train Advanced Reading Comprehension!

This means lots of people will be eligible for a chance to win BPCs, even if they are not the top contributor. There is nothing to say we won't also reward that special person :)
Talk about vagueposting!!! Doesn't inspire confidence about how much individual or group effort to invest in that objective.

Player names, including the top contributor and winners of the prize draw, will all feature on the description of the prototype citadels :) There is just also individual prizes for the draw.
Shouldn't that recognition reward be mentioned in the dev blog? It is arguably more of an incentive than winning BPCs in a lottery for many players.
EDIT: Just saw your post above this one. Thanks!

CCP Affinity wrote:Just to clarify, and I will follow this up with a blog edit:
* The top contributor and all prize winners names will feature in the descriptions of the prototype citadels they helped to create
* Each research component counts as 1 entry; if you contract 5 at once, that is 5 entries
* The prize draws will happen at the end, each contracted research component counts as one entry that will be placed in the final draw
* As the additional prizes unlock, they will be added as additional prizes to the main draw
* If you entered one contract at the beginning, but the fortizar prize is unlocked, you are in the running for that prize
* The BPCs will be fully researched, whereas the ones available at release will not be
I believe you clarified this on Twitter but I want to make sure and it's worth covering here in the official comments thread anyway:
Is it true that all in-game recognition (as well as prize draws) will go to individual pilots only and NOT corporations or alliances?
