Thanks for asking... The $120k will be awarded based upon a balance between the number of submissions and the overall potential user impact per idea.

So is the total pool of money equal to $120K, or is it possible that more would be given away depending on the submissions?

The total is $120k. If we wanted more we'd have to talk to our board :)

Also, how do you quantify "overall potential user impact per idea"?
