How about no prize money for anyone?
E2E4 run some events that have small sections (10 players from memory) that are all play all and which offer no financial rewards. Not sure exactly how the entry fees are used but I know Jonny has enjoyed playing in these. As the draw is know in advance one has the chance to prepare, though with two games a day its not ideal.
The top sections attract seriously strong players.
The playing venues have been great and relatively easy to get to.
