I think competitions like this exist so city governments can get cheap or free labor in exchange for a pat on the back.
And take a look at who the "judges" work for (most are from venture capital places). They're only there to see if there's any possible way to profit off any of the ideas.

This in the sense that they can transfer the license to someone else, manufacture your device, use it and you won't see a dime for it. From your perspective, the IP owner, they got your product for free. The investment in time, money, R&D and risk you put into the product produces no returns for you.
