Does apple allow that? I remember a $30K contest that a team from MIT ended up winning. I think it had to do with locating red balloons on a GPS that were scattered all over the world. Something like that.

From the App Store Review Guidelines:

• Contests, sweepstakes, lotteries, and raffles

1 Sweepstakes and contests must be sponsored by the developer/company of the app
2 Official rules for sweepstakes and contests, must be presented in the app and make it clear that Apple is not a sponsor or involved in the activity in any manner
3 It must be permissible by law for the developer to run a lottery app, and a lottery app must have all of the following characteristics: consideration, chance, and a prize
4 Apps that allow a user to directly purchase a lottery or raffle ticket in the app will be rejected

I'm not sure why they wouldn't, but if you offer anything of value on your "game" I'm almost 100% sure that hackers will find a way to the top =/.

As long as the game continues to function after the competition period you should be fine
