Dude, It's kind of hard to judge from your posts exactly what this contest is all about (for one thing is it a Grilling contest or a BBQ contest ?). If it is what I think it is you are going to have to kick it up at least two full notches to have a chance at attracting the kind of restaurant participation I think you are looking for.
Let me put it this way, my lovely bride and I don't even own a restaurant but we do hack our way around the competition BBQ circuit. This weekend we are cooking an itty-bitty contest in a New Albany church parking lot that pays more than you are offering. Not to be a smart alec and with all respect to you and this fine resort but (based on what I've read so far) I wouldn't even load up my smokers for this gig.
Make it 5 grand to win, pay down to 5th or 6th place, comp some rooms and give away some free stuff to the competitors and you might get the level of restaurant participation you appear to be looking for.

Thanks for your honest and open feedback. We have learned a lot through this process of trying to host our first BBQ Cook-off. Silly us, we just thought it sounded like a cool idea for August!
We plan on taking all of these great suggestions and making next year's event better.
