Also, and here we’re entering territory that’s not really my business but- where did the wordcount and rates come from? 3,000 words seems like a lot to ask competition entrants to read before writing their own stories (especially since, in total you’re look for what, 3, 4 or 5 stories?) and 3,000 euros, even for a story that long, is bigger than quite a few novel advances I’ve seen.
You might also want to make sure you’ve some back end T&Cs ready to establish who will “own” the story once it’s written (Work For Hire would probably be normal for this, but I’m not sure it’s in keeping with the generally open source, alternative-to-capitalist ethos you’re going for?)
