Default Sub-50 Solo Challenge Giveaway

Someone in my "yay I have a million platinum" thread suggested I do a giveaway to celebrate. I poo-poo'd his poetry idea, but seeing as I'm such a big fan of soloing stuff, I thought maybe a lowbie version of the Solo Arist Challenge would be a fun giveaway.

For anyone who does't know, the SAC is a for-fun challenge where players try to solo a variety of 50+ NPCs that are sorted into tiers of difficulty. Because of the nature of EQ and the rules of the challenge, enchanters and shamans dominate the SAC, although several different classes have participated, and the people reading the stories understand that a wizard killing a "disciple" tier mob is actually a heck of an accomplishment, even though an enchanter or shaman might be able to kill that mob in his sleep.

Anyway, I was thinking I'd host a solo challenge giveaway for sub-50 players, where players pick the zone and specific mob (or camp) that they will be soloing, and then they go solo that while taking video or screenshots and write up a post in the thread I create telling the story of their kill(s) from start to finish. I would judge which of the stories I like the best, considering everything from the class doing the soloing to the zone/camp/mob(s) they're dealing with to their gear to their former experience with p99 to how well presented their story/SSs/videos are, etc, and award a 1st prize of 10k, a 2nd prize of 5k, and a 3rd prize of 1k.

I'm (somewhat) open to suggestions of how to do the challenge within these general guidelines, and will think a bit more about the specifics before I host the actual giveaway. I know that this challenge will STILL favor some classes over others, because no matter what level a warrior or a rogue is, they just aren't going to be able to make as interesting of a story killing nameds solo as casters can... but I'd love to be proven wrong! I'll double the prize number for underdog classes that win, if any!

Thoughts?
