if this is all about the prices for 20-33 gallons contest, personally i wouldn't want a budget under 1000 dollars. like i'm working on my 29 gallon and i've already spent alot. i spent alot on good quality stuff,and isnt that what you want when you start a reef? basicaly what im saying is making a contest like that wouldn't be the best, because you would need a big budget if people made it a tank they want to keep for a long time

Why instead of setting up a limit on budget, set a limit on other things such as:

Ammount of LR/LBS
Ammount of Substrate/LBS
Ammount of Inverts
Ammount of Fish
Ammount of Corals / Category ( SPS, etc.. )

Like others have said, the limit on the price is something that doesn't regulate properly due to a huge variation. If price "needs" to be taken into consideration, then a big enough buffer needs to be established to take into consideration in order for a decent tank to be created in a city where things are expensive.

Why should a contest's motivation/bottleneck be people trying to find the cheapest possible second-hand hardware/livestock VS. being creative with the things that they could possibly achieve when creating a tank in a certain category?

I like your breakdown, this allows for some uniformity in all the tanks, but gives room for plenty of creativity.
