need help with a contest

[pallid-i]

i wanna host a design contest, but i want everyone to know that signs up that they'll get something in return. unlike traditional contests, you don't just enter and hope you win the grand prize and walk away with nothing if you don't. I want to give gems to the people that enter as a sign of gratitude for participating! i need to earn more gems first, but that's the plan
i also dont know what the grand prize should be, but i do know gems will be added to whatever it is. im thinking 20000 gems would be enough, but if you guys think raising it would be better, im all ears! i might also add art to the prizes, but im still brainstorming for the most part and would appreciate feedback! thank you for reading this c:::

if it was an art thing the ultimate winner could always get more art of their design character of some sort if you do a character design

and it'd always be cool to have a set color palette for the contest too
