Just wondering are we to post any progress on the forums?

Yes, this is encouraged:

Well, it looks like TJHeldna is the only participant, so he wins all the prizes:

I'm disappointed there was so little participation. On the other hand, I really like "Cold Feet" and I think it's the most polished looking demo we've gotten from these tournaments so far. The developer did a really nice job of blending in three themes: Linux, Halloween, and machinery. I hope we can get this game running on Linux soon.

I also suspect having better prizes actually decreased participation. People see the prizes and think too many other people will be trying to win, so they don't bother. And it could make the process less fun if you are trying to "get" something:
