$14 billion 2020 budget for the USAF space portfolio[1], $50 thousand prize (split between entire team) to reveal detailed procedure to hack the USAF space portfolio. I feel like they should be a bit more generous here.

"Won the Air Force Space Security Challenge" on your resume is basically a license to k̶i̶l̶l̶ name your own salary with any reputable tech company.

The winners are certainly a potential threat to national (global?) security. What's the price of a celebrity status like that?

An open offer to work at the NSA?

You could ask how the other ctf defcon winners are regarded? The top teams are all pretty hardcore, I always felt they'd be treated specially as well but seems not to be the case

Won three times, definitely didn't hurt my career.

Look how well Edward Snowden was doing. Living in Hawaii and making $200k a year at his high point.

Looks to be a bit more. >Qualifier: Ten $15K prizes Finals: $50K 1st place $30K 2nd place $20K 3rd place

That's $250k.
