Given that WCG needs donations/funding to keep this going, I don't see how prizes to recruit more people are a plus.
----------------------------------------Step 1 would be to ensure the system can handle the influx and operate without running out of work. The lab has a budget posted on their website with their donation needs, so that will provide good information. Step 2 would then add funds on top of this to implement the promotional giveaways. If you have the resources and would fund this, then reach out to the lab with the offer.
