the problem is that in the government, there is no money for prizes and contests, unless the manager buys the prize material out of pocket.  the incentives that are available - a $250 "on the spot" award (which is taxed and tends to net $175), a performance award at the end of the year rating period.  For people earning in excess of $100K a year, it's not much motivation.
