Build a Business, win $100,000
Finally, a business contest that chooses a winner based on revenue!
I'm amazed other contests don't use this simplest of objective measures to pick a winner.

Note comment above (using adwords to churn with 0% margin, but winning the contest for the $100k). Profit might be a better indicator, but obviously much harder to measure.
Consider applying for YC's Winter 2027 batch!
