Thing I don't like about these arrangements - if you don't win, all you've done is effectively give away some possibly good ideas that may have not been completely recognized by the "right" people at the time. Perhaps they might be possibly "half baked", where someone catches onto them, and has enough under his/her belt to fill in the missing gaps. Interestingly - personality types INTJ are plant sources for new and sometimes radical ways of thinking. Willing to bet that most, if not all of the contenders in the competition are this type.
