If not many join and there are other things to do it is hard to organize contests week after week. It takes a lot of time to check and the prize needs to be paid.
To me, contest prizes make no difference. My story would hardly be picked for a contest prize anyhow, but I usually am getting a Curie prize. At the same time, if I would write exactly the same story on my own, Curie won't look at it without it being a contest entry. It just won't look at my account period.
Secondly, I like this contest simply because it gives me the channel for further development. One might say, why not use your own beginning? It's because I would never put myself into a situation that other people would force me to get into. So it is fun and difficult at the same time to get out of there.
The contest could be organized every two weeks, or at least once a month.
@mgaft1 Thank you for enlighten me. That is a big upvote. Good to hear writers are appreciated after all. I read @carolkean her freewrite about what is said about freewriters...

@mgaft1 It depends if my entry will be picked. In most cases it is not simply because I am not a native speaker/writer.
People hardly read me just like me to drop by and comment and reward them.
Once a month could be done but the question is if people will notice it.
Steem is all about being seen. If you are not noticed they forget you. Contests are good for that (joining them I mean).
Whatvexactly is/does Curie?

Curi is the organization or a group that encourages writers. They usually upvote you will the power of 600+ accounts and you get 10-12 steems
