If I were running the contest, I'd just keep it at $5.00 for the adults, and
tell the adults the prize money goes to the 16 and under crowd (which it
would), and reward the AFOL's with bricks/sets only. I'd also further
subdivide the younger categories because what an 8-year-old can build and what
a 15-year-old can build are often vastly different (assuming you actually get
some 15-year-olds who aren't in their dark ages :-)
